I'm not trying to raise a bunch of hell, but WTF is the deal with all you old timers giving us new guys shit about filling out our profiles? It felt like I was getting a physical or some shit. Jeezus, I just got a new project, and felt like I was gittin' reprimanded for asking for help finding a frickin' part for it without fillin' out my crap! This place is hella cool, but it was like trying to shave with a belt sander! Sheeot!
They have eased up a BUNCH in their old age!Newbies used to really get their asses ripped apart if they posted without giving some info about themselves.Its almost amazing how easily some of the new guys get off when they post.
Don't you like knowing who your talking too? I do. That's all it is, we wanna know who you are. Suppose you and your buds are standing in your driveway talkin' about rods and some guy just walks up and starts askin' questions, mouthing opinions, or tryin' to sell somethin' without making any kind of introduction. Your asking your self "Who is this guy, what bussiness has he got asking about my stuff" This isn't an AOL chat room. This is really a community of people that all share a common bond, Traditional rods and customs Think of this place as Ryan's garage, and we're all just standing around B.S.ing, pull up a chair and sit a spell. Show us a little respect, and you'll get it back in return. (sorry if this is hard to read, writing wasnt wy best subject in school!)

The Intro cops were a part of the hazing that went on around here when the HAMB was the Hokey Ass Message Board! there was a small group of HARD CORE RODDERS that were not to interested in main stream rodders squeezing in so when some one came in they either had thick skin or they were gone When I first joined in, I was Member number 90 and I, to this day consider myself as a late comer to the original core. what is left is a very diluted ritual! WE DO NOT LIKE STRANGERS WALKING INTO OUR GARAGE. GOING TO THE FRIDGE GRABBING A BEER AND SITTING DOWN IN OUR FAVORITE CHAIR AND START TALKING ABOUT THEIR CAR,PROBLEMS OR OLD LADY, WITHOUT SAYING SOMETHING ABOUT THEM SELVES FIRST!! what is you're problem. saying "Hey guys I'm george Fuckhead! I just moved in around the corner. I have a 52 Buick 4 door that I want to turn into a cool car like yours" If you are not a nerd or a or stupid about coming in.we'll probably tell you to grab a beer and pull up a stool DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT FUCK HEAD!!
Haze on, I guess. I'm not one of the mega-buck, pay someone-else-to-do-it hot rodders you're trying to keep outta here. I just wanted to know WHAT THE FUCKING DEAL WAS.
Well Scott thats the deal, you filled out your sheet. sit down and have a beer and chill for a while. that 51 looks to be a project. I hace several 51 plymouth doors but the're all wagons and I believe they are different. all thou thev belevedere hardtop doors bolted right on and fit my wagon
Hate to interupt the bonding , but 48 Hemi that wagon rocks. I like that. Keep us updated as you continue. I'd like to see how it turns out. later plmczy. Oh yeah welcome El scotto, good luck with your biz niz coupe. later plmczy

I am learning though and I have no problem getting my hands dirty another good thing about us that pay someone else is we keep money in their pockets and they are able to do what they love. anywhooo...seems the hamb police have lightened up or are forgetting to haze in their old age hahaha...seems a lot softer around here. welcome to the forums...there is a lot of GREAT talent here!!! reading the tech articles is better than any mag tech article you will ever find! and the people here will give you straight up advice too...which is nice!
Yikes. Whoa, hey Scott... shit, I didn't know you were on the HAMB as well? Very cool... welcome and all that good shit. I didn't know you picked up a '51... I know Greg has that '50, but it's cool you picked up an old Mopar too. Man, I wish I still had mine... a lot. Fun cars alright... I'll see you around man, catch you at Wally's Tuesday. I need to start kicking ass on my car....
