Welcome to the boards! Always good to see the ladies taking interest in old wrecks

 

jayne cobb- thanks for the info on headlights!! a picture would be cool!

glmke- thanks for the welcoming from a local!

glenn33 & fencepost86- thank you for the welcoming as well!

slick39- get your wife on here! it would be nice to hear from some more women! does she have a project car? or does she just support you on your project??

customfalcon63-thanks for the link. i need year correct license plates. you cant just get any old license plate and put it on...i have to have 1950 plates..kinda sucks!!!

Von Rigg Fink- thats a pretty cool looking car you got there!!! i dont know if i have ever seen one..atleast not in person!

 

You should be able to find a fair selection at the swap meet. I got my 50 plate at one around here and it's SOOO much better than an antique plate if you ask me.

 

thats what my goal is. i dont want to get special plates. i want the originals!!! there is a company that refurbishes plates to their original glory and they also carry some plates in stock. they will be at the swap...so im hunting them down!!!

 

Welcome from West Georgia. Cool Ride. Check out eBay also for your states plate.

Welcome to the HAMB girl! I grew up with a 51 dodge wayfarer sportabout convertible in the garage beside my bedroom, a shame my dad sold the car in the early 80's.. it was a beauty!! I've been hooked on there body lines ever since, recently purchased a shell of a 50 dodge business coupe (or should I say whats left of it LOL) that was owned by my dad back when i was in diapers, But what I'm really looking to build is a 49 plymouth business coupe, a recreation of the original Ramchargers racing teams 1st car the "High and Mighty"..... Heres a post that I started that has a bunch of pics of the original car and a clone http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=248285&highlight=hemifried I'll get some pics of the 50 up on here when I can convince mother nature we don't need any more snow and can get the car drug out of a huge snow bank and home

 

thanks for the welcoming! those pictures of the high and mighty are pretty cool. whatever happened to the original?? i know about mother nature though, down here in oregon mother nature believes we need lots of rain..once i can convince mother nature to stop raining im working on my car!!!! it was supposed to be nice this weekend, but of course not!!!

 

Yeah, I hear ya about the weather. I hear Portland got snow, did you see any of that?

 

yes! actually i was outside working on my car today and i was getting some interior stuff laid out on a tarp and i saw a few drops of rain come down and within three minutes it was hailing and snowing..it went on for about 30 min or so and all the sudden it was gone and we had blue skies and sunshine! crazyness i tell you!! but then i got right back to work. speaking of interiors..anyone have any suggestions for door panels?? the old ones are not in the greatest shape. the metal part is, but the cloth parts of it are horrible.. anyone have any good ideas for inexpensive/easy fix?? same with the ceiling..any advice???

 

My project is a 39 tudor c-dan Ford and it is what it is a project!!!!

 

No she does not have a project I am Her project but she does enjoy the "rods" however her heart is truly devoted to drag racing and mustangs!!! She said HI and welcome!!

 

Swweeeeeeeeeeeeetttt ride!!! love the long front fenders on these and the paint looks awesome... I read an article on the 2 of you awhile ago about being in the detroit auto show, how did things go for you there? Hope to be up the detroit way over the summer, if i see the car at a show i'll make sure to come say a hello Happy HAMB'n

 

Send the rain my way i'll take it with a smile, I got 5 feet of snow on my front lawn!!! LOL
The orignal H&M was dismantled in the early 60's after they stopped racing the car.. They did manage to find the original intake setup, tach and a few other items that they used on the clone. I've been doing a lot of scrounging trying to find parts info and a good solid car.... but for now i'm working on putting our 63 1/2 ranchero back together. I was hoping to have it finished for when the snows gone, but now i'm hoping the snows gone by the time its finished LOL

 

Hemifried- ill gladly send the rain your way, but i bet by the time it gets there it will be snow..hahaha!right now it has been some of the most unpredictable weather i have ever seen..rain one min,snow the next,hail the one after. its pure craziness! how long does the snow stay around up there? it should be spring here, but it still feels like winter!!!
why did they dismantle the H&M?? and good luck with the project!

 

Yamhill County? Ouch, not much to do around these parts 'cept turn wrenches and drive-in. Hows the car coming along?

 

Welcome from OKC.

 

nice to see a buch of other oregonian car nuts chime in.. and welcome.. the car looks good..

 

Welcome Sarah!
The HAMB is NUTS! Enjoy the info! Slim
