    Just curious to see how all of us found out about the Jalopy Journal-HAMB? I will start since it is my thread: I was told about it from "lowsprings" and ever since then, my life has changed. This is the most visited website that I have ever come across. With the drama and B.S. involved, it had been very informative for me on problems that I have encountered, that being with cars! Next..................... KNUX! Jesse James......the "LURKER" on the HAMB!

    Lowlife and I were talking one day and he said something about the HAMB and I said the what?? He said the HAMB, you know the Hokey ***ed Message Board. I didn't know then.....................but, I know now.
     
  5. I read a little 'blurp' about it in Rod & Custom. All it really said was that if you dig traditional rods and customs, check about the Jalopy Journal and the H.A.M.B. - so I did. I lurked for about a year till I took the plunge.

    Now that I'm a HAMBer, my arthritis has cleared up and the that pesky cough has gone away!!! It's a miracle - I'm cured!!! Praise the HAMB!!

    Hell if I remember. I think I first hit it while I was searching for parts....

    Then believe it or not, seeing the gang run at Indy Goodguys made me remember it "Haaaaay.... I know that site... those guys kicked ***"


    So now I'm back to stay. And you can all blame the HAMB racers at Indy :D

    I also read a little blurb in R&C, It may have been when Ryans car was in readers rides or young guns or something I think. Checked it out a bit, but forgot about it. Then doing google searches for stuff, the HAMB kept coming up. Decided I'd better join up and do some learning.

    Now I'm a HAMB junkie and if I dont get my minimum of a few hrs a day on here, I start jones-diddily-onesin.

    Many many moons ago.....I was introduced to it by a friend in Reno named Lee ( was on here as "junebug") He was helping Ryan get this "traditional hot rodding" board started..... I lurked for a few years then finally enough friends were on that gave me enough **** to just join, so here I is.....

    :D :D

    I think I did a search for "traditional hot rod" at some point. I know I found the Jalopy Journal first, and followed the HAMB link from there.

    I am a member of the American Motors forum and someone suggested I check out the HAMB when I was building the hudson. I lurked for a while and decided to join up.

    I used to lurk around the OSR board and used to see them *****ing about the HAMB. So I decided to see what all the fuss was about. Needless to say, I ditched that board and migrated here. Best thing I ever did. I have made some good friends here and will stay as long as everyone will have me.

    I was in college around 1997 or 98 studying graphic design and web design. I decided to do a hot rod and customs website for a cl*** project. I started researching websites and found the Jalopy Journal.

    I actually shared the old homepage with the teacher of the cl***, (smoking girl) when we were learning about animated gifs.

    I read TTJ from time to time, until I thought the site was no longer around for some reason. A few years ago I stumbled across TTJ again, and found the HAMB.

    the natural gravitation towards consumers of beer, conisuers of exotic and ****** women, hoodlums, and people who roll thier own. the HAMB is a natural stomping ground.

    Also it was the article on the HAMB chop in the "original" CKD...
