    If I recall correctly, I found the Jalopy Journal from a link on the Dirty Shirt site. Whatever happened to Dirty Shirt? They had some cool stuff. Was that one of your deals Ryan? WWS

    I was looking for porn on the internet. When I searched for "Gay Bitches from Michigan," this site came up and I clicked on it by mistake. Then it pirated my home page and everytime I try to change it something else, when I reboot I'm back to the HAMB. [​IMG]

    But seriously, I would pop in since the Arron Von Deluxe days and read occasionaly but never kept up with it. When I bought my '26 last year, I started reading more and got hooked.

    Being a rodder for over 40 years, it was only natural that my first searches on my first computer would be about hotrods. Two sites popped up almost every time....HAMB and Cybercruizin's RRT. I've been here ever since.

    My Homeezz abomber30, Randy D, and Irritant, were always talking about it, so I checked it out and finally posted about a year later after I got burned out on Battleship. Now this is how I kill time at work.

    I got a sign, like the Virgin Mary appearing on a wall in the form of a water stain. While pushing the '32 into the new garage a couple years ago, the leaky nailhead left a trail of dots and dashes of oil on the otherwise pristine concrete-- looked like this:

    .... .- -- -...

    The kid's Boy Scout training recognized it as Morse Code. And here we are.

    I first saw it through searching the internet for good car sites. I lurked for a week or two and then moved onto another called www.shoeboxford.com. When a regular on shoeboxford suggested that we should check the H.A.M.B. out I decided that I should give it another try and man am I glad I did! This place is hoppin' and I hope that I can be a helpful contributer and get rid of the FNG moniker.
