The biggest issue with the SBC is the abundance of them, not the engine itself. Many early hotroders moved to the early sbc's, especially the 265's, 283's and the 327's. They also favored the early Olds' and Caddy engines. The early Olds's engines and the 327's hold a level of endurement not too dissimiliar then of the flatties.

    I see more flaming done because of FNG's who come just to badger or to start talking trash about rodding 1980 or newer cars and trucks or trying to create an illusion by using fake parts on newer engines.

    Just like any place else, you get as good as you give. As far as their Moderator, Ryan, I have had several conversations with him and although he is a hardcore traditionalist, he always finds the time to help members seeking info and assistance. I would imagine it's not an easy thing trying to maintain some kind of order to a forum with over 55,000 members..

    Also, even though you don't need to be an Alliance Member to be a participating member of the forum, the Alliance membership cost, which isn't real cheap, can be worth it if you are into buying merchandise for your rides. The discounts earned can easily pay for the membership, at least it has for me.
    Well said.

    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.

    Take heart! You are most definitely a rodder! For the last 60-70 years hot rod fans have tried to make their stuff nice. A new fad does not diminish the efforts of the guys who have always built them to fulfill their own individual fantasy, screwed together parts they bought, brought together their own ideas with the help of others, or just bought a built car and enjoyed the hobby. We all have the same passion!

    If you want a piece of "jewelry" that blinds people in direct sunlight....happen to like pink cars.....you think a Lamborghini engine is the wildest thing you've seen....or want to carve a unique part out of aluminum....DO IT!

    ......unless, of course, you need the approval of the herd.

    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.

    On the HAMB I am "Harms Way", ( I tried to use that here but it was taken)

    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!

    There are plenty of those types on almost any board, sometimes you just have to ignore them. And usually those that "try to come across as the messiahs of all hot rodding" are either right, or more than likely, will be seen and ignored as one of the posers.

    Even on the internet, eventually you can tell a prince from a pig.

    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.
