Well it took me a while to get here. I was busy rolling on the floor in bondo dust after reading the spec sheet Ryan Cochran wrote on his '38 Deluxe Coupe. I can tell that the HAMB is chocked full of down home car enthusiests my momma warned me about. Not a single tree hugger in sight. Man this just feels right. I have been a long time rod lover thank to my pop. I helped him build a couple of cars at his tire shop (hence akatireguy). Only recently did I aquire a ride I can be proud of. Its a 1955 Oldsmobile Super 88, 4dr Sdn. Under hood is a beefy 454 bored .60 over with a nice list of mechanical upgrades. Alright I know, I'm ramblin. I get that from pop also.
Welcome aboard. Yeah, this can be a fun place. Lots of good tech stuff, exceptional artists, friendly people and Germ. I don't usually understand a word he says but ya gotta love 'em. Yep, it's our own little soap opera. Enjoy.
Hey wecome,I might go outside and hump a tree every now and then but dont worry I never hug em.Seriously,nice Olds.My friend Anthony from the Rocket 8s in Jersey just put together a gorgeus mild custom 55 4 door hardtop that I striped.Hopefully,I can post some pics in the next few days
It is nice to have another Olds guy here on the HAMB! Looking forward to be bumping ideas around with you.
Welcome to the HAMB. I gotta ask, what kind of rear are you running in that thing to support a 454? I****ume that the original rear has gone bye-bye. Big Daddy Eric
ACTUALLY THE****** I GOT IT FROM STILL HAS THE ORIGIONAL REAR END. DONT WORRY THAT COMING OUT REALLY SOON. IF I DONT IM GONNA HAVE A METAL PREZEL REAL SOON. I'M THINKING GM 12BOLT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT. I BELIEVE CARS ARE LIKE WOMEN. BIG*****S COME WITH BIG*****S. AND THIS BABYS GOTTA PRETTY NICE RACK.
MANNY THANKS TO ALL HOPE I DONT BRING DOWN THE PROPERTY VALUE <font color="red"> </font> YEP DOWN IT GOES
Welcome aboard, (pun intended)..... Olds looks nice, I know a guy looking to do a similar swap on a 54 98, I owuld think the original rear might handle it for some time they are pretty strong. Hey here's that pic of mine.
Welcome...your intro was nice, but what's with everything posted afterwards being in all caps? Turn em off!!!
MY BAD.. my piece of***** program i have to use at work doesnt recognize lower case. DOS***** integrated into a windows platform, I guess Ford Motor Co would rather spend their funds on R&D instead of computer programs. Yes I'm at work with some extra time... I don't beleive how slow it is. The fords usually cant pass a repair shop...
