i also check out hamb...indeed lost of great info...but their moto is if you didn't build, it don't curise it...wow...that would put a lot of hot rod builders out of business...and make a lot of people who have great careers doing something else that still love hot rods, not real hot rodders...even though most of my car is stainless and chrome...i do have aluminum rims, gas and break pedal...that sure counts me out...oh, and electric fans"Behold, what manner of love the father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called sons of God." 1John3:1

Alot of folks know my car on the HAMB- and a few know it's a pro built car.
Not a 100% HAMB "traditional" ride over there but it's all good. There are friendly folks over there.
Here's the thread I started about a little show I attended last Saturday.
http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...d.php?t=297485
Yea- there's a couple of negatives but it's pretty clear this thread defys the conceived perception over on the HAMB.
I say sign up- introduce yourself & read alot to start. When you start posting, make it tech responses- try & help out. This quickly gives you clout. Then you can expand from there.
I have many HAMB friends now & alot of those same people busted my chops pretty good in the beginning.
Caution- I swear alot over there & actually enjoy not watching my P's & Q's. Kinda like at a show talking to your buds.
Guess I need to update my avitar over here to the new painted car w/ Ricklefs flames.Last edited by Steves32; 10-01-2008 at 05:15 PM.

Ya' can't believe everything you hear.....or read.Building means a lot of different things to different people. To Itoldyouso, it might mean a build from the bottom of the tires to the roof and all of the extras. To some one else it might mean they added a shifter knob.

Huh,...
It seems a lot of you have a misconceived notion about the HAMB which I am a proud member of,... it goes under the age old understanding that respect is something earned,.. some guys can just jump in with a ton of knowledge, experience & background,..... this equals respect to a certain degree, But if you call out one of the old sages that has been on the HAMB for years and is usually always right like "Bruce Lancaster", you had better be dead right or have some thick skin.
If you show up with a attitude, or with a feeling like your just going to barge in, and because you bought a Hot Rod and read a few magazines your going to tell everybody how it's done,... this won't wash. you'll be detected as a poser,.....
It's a pretty close knit community even tho there is somewhere around 50,000 members, everybody that can find there place either contributes or asks questions, Don't assume because you own or built a Hot Rod, you know everything,... be willing to learn, even if you know it all.
Not everyone is a good fit for the HAMB, and there are times that some guys lock horns, It reminds me of how car clubs use to be in the old days (and some still are). It's a group of people with similar interests, If your really into cars but lack knowledge, spend time with them and learn, If you've been around the block and have some knowledge, share it with those you can see take a REAL interest, Not everyone was a good fit for those clubs just because they could afford dues,... ( My car club was established in 1951, To get in you had to have a sponsor, attend meetings for 6 mo. be brought up for membership and be voted on. If you didn't get 80% you didn't get in,... and it's still that way, as well as the other clubs in the Association).
So, If you feel comfortable there, great !,.... if you don't, find another board, no harm no foul,... just don't go there expecting it to change for you.

1987 I bought a 40 Chevy Coupe Street Rod, and left the next day for the Street Rod Nationals in Louisville Ky. The builder didn't take it out of town. Granted I had to put a leaky chrome water pump on it the night before leaving. On the way the alternator bracket was too close to the inner fender, and something had to break. We made it to the Nationals fixed the bracket in the repair section. We were not alone several cars needed to be fixed. We had a good time I have film to reflect back to the show. I replaced the alternator, master cylinder, added an extra electric fan, fixed some wires that were getting hot and blowing fuses. One year when the Louisville Nationals flooded on the way home traffic was bumper-to-bumper trying to get out of Ky. I would have to pull off to the side of the road and let the engine cool down. Then I would run like hell on the shoulder to get a little further. For the most part people knew what I was doing; they would see me on the side and later running the shoulder. My point is I didn’t build the car but I sure had to keep it running so it didn’t bother me if someone would ask if I built the car. In my younger years I pulled engines put in engines, transmissions, clutches but by no means was I an expert I just did what ever it took to keep the car going. Right now I’m just tinkering I can’t work like I use to. I spent 4 years on a Corvette restoring it in the 80’s but at my age now that is too long. Some days I would look at the car and turn around and go back in the house. It only got exciting for me when I could see it all coming together.

Late to the dance!
My only beef with HAMB was that many of the mega-posters try to come across as the messiahs of all hot rodding and are quick to slam anyone who vaguely disagrees with their preconceived ideas or opinions. However, I always questioned how anyone who had 50-plus posts a day had time to do anything, especially work on cars!

I am a member of the HAMB and have even met a few local guys that post there. It is just too big for me to keep up with. But I will check in from time to time.
