    Hi guys. I'm from the western Chicago burbs. I loved cars as a kid but got away from them for a few years. Now that I have some time and $ I'm crawling back. I was looking online for an early 50's ford to buy and make my own when I saw a link to this site. I browsed around and found a thread of a guy grinding his own wide white walls. That was awsome! I looked around some more and decided I needed to join this site. None of my friends are really into what I like so I am kind of a loner when it comes to cars but this seems like just the place I'm looking for. There so many great things on here.
     
  2. Which burb?

    Lots of Chicagolanders on the HAMB, many events around the area.

    Welcome aboard.
