I just wanted to say hey! I have been along time watcher. But I have finally joined the alliance. I’ve got my first hot rod project a 39 Ford standard two door sedan. It has the flathead 221 V8 and the three speed in the floor banjo rear end. I’m hoping With your guidance I will be able to complete my little rod thank you for allowing me to join!
Welcome to the HAMB! Wow, I saw Kentucky and thought you might be close, but you're on the far side of "Next of Kin". Good looking old Ford. There's plenty of help to be had here, as well as smart *** comments. I've got a 21 stud waiting for me to put a car around it (plus some other unfinished junk), and my neighbor has a '35 Ford Sedan with a 21 stud. I use the search function more than anything else these days.
Welcome..........man you just barely made it into Ky. Bring it to the Street Rod Nationals in Louisville next year.
There's a swap meet n Shepherdsville on January 10th. Not quite Power Tour level, but I know a few guys that'll have later model (not just model A) parts there. https://mafca.com/event/41st-annual-model-a-swap-meet-shepherdsville-kentucky/
Welcome to the HAMB from Illinois. Search lloydfest for eastern KY event. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum...er-5th-7th-2025.1329162/page-30#post-15752074
Havent't looked at the exact date yet but its always around the 1st of Aug. If you decide to come and there are any expensive parts you want to buy, its good to wait until then as many of the vendors offer show discounts. Summit gives small catalogs out with a show code on them good for about a month that gives 10% off everything they sell. I've saved a lot of money by doing that. There will be more cars than you can possibly see. Many people bring scooters since its such a large area. You might look at Brooks Ky for hotel accomodations. Its about 10 miles from the fairgrounds and its straight up I-65......so very easy to find. Also you might consider joining the NSRA. Makes it easier to access and park, 2 entry p***es, and a monthly magazine that keeps you informed about the many events they hold and lots of pictures of the events. (National Streetrod ***n) If you decide to come, and need a little help, just let me know.
All I seen was a music I searched it. All I seen was a bunch of bands playing. Do they have anything to do with old cars and hot rods?
https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/lloydfest-iii-september-5th-7th-2025.1329162/ Try reading some of this to get the flavor of the event. @Lloyd's paint & gl*** may stop by to introduce himself and add a little info about his event.
