  2. I found it through a search back in the late 90's; here and the old RRT. After the RRT was shut down (and before it was up again), I sorta just stayed here.
    I keep away from the drama (had enough of my own, 4 1/2 year divorce, now over as of last Monday), try to contribute useful shit, and garner knowledge.

    I still kinda miss the one version that had all the threads rolled down, so you could pick and choose.

    Ahh, for the old days of 75 meg machines and Beta Windows 95...

    I was searching Google for information I could use on my 29 RPU project and Google had a couple of threads from the HAMB. It was pretty good info so I checked out the JJ and the HAMB and was hooked. I signed up after just a few days of lurking. What convinced me was the great technical stuff from people like Elpolacko, AV8, C9 and the other smart guys. Since then I've been able to meet several of the local guys in person. Now I'm sure Elpolacko dreads it when I walk on the shop for my periodic fix of hot rodding.

    Great place. Thanks Ryan!!! Oh, and thanks for adding the Garage Journal.

    I found the HAMB and the Jalopy Journal through a link from the old Kustoms by TSR web site.

    I found it when I punched "Eddie Edmunds" into my computer to see what came up.
