The Rodders Journal supports the H.A.M.B. Hey guys at the h.a.m.b. At long last we have gotten off our ****s and joined the board! For a long time weve been lurking around here, reading your posts, enjoying your build-ups, laughing at your in-jokes and wisecracks at each other and have noticed your continued support of Ryan and his board. We have also noticed that The Rodders Journal has been mentioned on here quite a bit and after talking with Ryan thought we could help somehow. So, what wed like to do is have an auction four times a year for a 1-year subscription to TRJ. The money goes to Ryan for the board; you guys get the current issue mailed at the end of the auction and three more as they come out after that. Youll also get the free holiday poster that all subscribers get. We probably wont be posting a whole lot, as we have a crazy schedule getting these magazines out, but if you want to ask questions or anything, feel free and we will try to respond. On another note I thought I would mention that we goofed in our December Rod and Custom ad!! If you do want to call us the correct numbers are. PH: (650) 246-8920 FX: (650) 246-8927 Cheers!

I'm not going to lie - when TRJ sent me an email about all of this, I giggled like a little girl. I remember when TRJ first came out... I couldn't hardly believe my eyes. Being into art direction and hot rods like I am and seeing both integrated so flawlessly really left it's mark with me. To have them support something that we do just blows me over. I'm stoked to say the least.
I devour TRJ like a kid in a kandy store....Invaluable reference and an education each issue...btw,TRJ guys, it is customary for a publication to feature a pictorial on the first HAMB artist to respond to their intro....it's true.
Welcome aboard, glad to see ya out of the closet. As you already know, lots of friendly, knowledgeable folks around these parts. Just to let you know, the intro police like to hear about what you drive, what projects your working on, age, material statis, etc, and of course, you must include photos
cool, now do a feature on Rudy Rodriguez and give me an issue without Brizio for a change. Im not joking either. He builds nice cars but Jesus, give it a rest.
Is this the start of an Auction? If it is, I will start it out at $60 coin if it go's to the board. Chris Nelson Kansas
WOW! We got TRJ not only talking to us but actually participating with an auction? Then, there's the post about a guy testing the waters for a 40's style car movie? Shazam!We are getting respectable in our old age, eh? It's all too weird. When is the magazine auction gonna begin? It's about time I took part in this big ol magazine.
Usually we roast a guy if he doesn't show pictures of his car on the first post... but since you guys show us pictures of cars on a regular basis. via TRJ... I guess we can let you slide. That and you've offered to help Ryan out... which is way cool of you. And keep the Brizio cars coming... (I'm a Bay Area dude too)... I hear he's restoring (or has) Tom McMullen's Roadster for some pea-rancher down in Beverly Hills... Also, what ever happened to the idea of covering the first annual HAMB Drags?? I hear there are a couple of guys putting together some "antiqued" pics of the event for you guys... Sam.
I knew it all along, you just don't have any privacy anymore. Just kiddin, great rag you guys have going there. -peter
How cool is this The best Hotroding publication ever produced right here watching us. Oh yea...My dream is to have a car in TRJ. Did I mention how much I like the THE RODDERS JOURNAL. Seriously I think what you are offering Ryan And The HAMB is very generous and certainly is for a good cause. Thanks again.
So do you guys actually have hot rods of your own, or do you just want to hang around with us in the hopes of getting a deal on Von Dutch jeans? Dave Mann http://www.roadsters.com/
TRJ really blew my mind when it first came out and the quality has really kept up- welcome aboard. The support for Ryan is really cool. Since you are here, one thing. . . a gold chainer is a gold chainer whether he sells worn out blues guitar music to the m***es or not, and the cars he buys are not worth the space. IMHO, of course. best story ever. . . the L.A. river racing piece.
TRJ ****S!!! I hate that rag!! I buy every issue and can't even read it!! I don't want to get fingerprints on the cover and don't want to break the spine by opening it wide. Why can't you print it on cheap paper like other magazines. Also, you shouldn't hang around with us lowlifes. It's gonna' kill your circulation when the goldchainers find out. You know.....the old "guilt by ***ociation" thing? (unless you can all keep a secret) hope you realize that I'm kidding.....you do the "Pebble Beach" of automotive publications. Thanks SO much!
[ QUOTE ] a gold chainer is a gold chainer whether he sells worn out blues guitar music to the m***es or not, and the cars he buys are not worth the space. [/ QUOTE ] Ryan did mention the thick skin part right? Beautiful magazine (I'm a graphic artist, too) I usually can't afford (I'm a graphic artist, in FL), but I do goober up the spine of the ones on the rack of Barnes & Noble and Borders every chance I get. Good choice using a HAMBer for your t-shirt logo too. Welcome
Wow, thats cool and super nice of TRJ, love every issue and really don't think of it as a magazine but as a great book. Welcome Aboard, and just a warning, watch your rear around them "Cheaters" thanks continental
WOW ! helluva intro , hats of to the rodders journal!!Thats gotta be a first , not only did we get an intro but a HAMB auction on the first post ..Welcome from outta lurkersville TRJ . soo sorry to recant my bid but 2 cars just broke and now so am i .dammit .
Howdy from Texas, and welcome aboard. TRJ is head and shoulders above the rest of 'em. I hope ya'll can make it to the next Roundup. The antique looking spread of the first Roundup was kick ***. Thanks.
Wow, that's great news. Welcome to the HAMB. I have been a subscriber to TRJ since the very beginning and can honestly say "IT IS THE BEST." I save a special spot in my library for every issue and even buy a second at B & N to get the alternate cover. I just wish that Pat Ganahl would somehow find his way back into covering all the historical things that have happened along the way to the hot rod family. I especially liked his stories of the buildings that were occupied by the early shops in the LA area and what's now in their place. Again, welcome Steve and staff!
Its great that Ryan is getting the support he means as well as the recognition for putting together the best Message Board on the Web plus all the time he puts in keeping it up and running without problems... As for TRJ, I was at Brizio's two weeks ago and there was the Eldebrock Special 32,,, you got a feature coming up soon on that one.. WOW what a car... So start a new post for the auction and what the support roll in.... Thanks for a great mag...
First: Welcome Second: Work on lowering the price of your mag! Many folks here are building traditional hot rods based on P***ION and very LITTLE MONEY. On the surface, this seems a bit like the gold chain check writing dude writing his/her 6 figure check for an ol skool rod instead of a billet bomb. I know therere folks with money who have a p***ion for traditional rods as much as the next guy. Heres my point: I would hate seeing the ingenious DIY and lowbuck solutions take a back seat to glossy photography of a rod with a 50 history that can ONLY be purchased for 6-figures.
side valve, I think TRJ is worth MORE than it's cover price. It's the best damn book ever produced. But TRJ you'd better sleep with one eye open because Ol Skool Rodz is nipping at your tails. Welcome ****an et al. And yeah I do miss Ganhal.
Hold It...Hold It...The self-appointed Intro Police here...I have not seen any pix, nor have I read anything from the "Editor" of TRJ yet...how do we know it's really you and not some wannabe from the mailing department? I NEED proof! The intro was tainted with "buying" this crowd (and there's nothing wrong with that), however, I think a true intro is needed... FWIW, I'll extend a pre-intro welcome to the House of HAMB...BTW, I'm missing issue Number Three of my very complete collection...and I have an extra Number Thirteen I'll let go... R-
Plus Ol Skool Rodz costs less! I know that TRJ printing and photography costs a LOT and I like the mag - just can't afford it.
Apples to oranges. I leaf through the other mags for a week or so, rip out any ads or articles I want and trash them. I'm forced to call TRJ a coffee table book and keep it around unmolested. Although I have not seen Rodz on a newsstand in the SE yet.
