Thought it was about time that I introduced myself. I go by the handle "Johnboy" as I've been called that many times throughout life. I'm in my early 60's, originally from Compton, California and have been a car guy most of my life, that is, if you count from about 5 years old and up! My first car was a 1932 Ford Roadster with the original V-8 that I paid 50 bucks for. My second car was a 1934 Ford 5 window coupe that I put an early Hemi (long bellhousing) into. My third car was a 1940 Ford DeLuxe coupe that I put the Hemi engine from the 34 into. My fourth car was a 1955 Chevy 2-door Bel Air sedan that I put a built 327 into. My present ride is a 1932 Ford Roadster (license # MY2ND32)with a 385 cu.in SBC with 2-4's, Dart heads, Comp Cam, Sanderson headers, Mallory ignition, etc. Has a Ford 9 inch rear, and turbo-400 transmission. Other than that it's basically stock! I have been checking the HAMB board for some time now and after reading C9's story about "The Red Roadster" I decided it was time to become an official HAMBER. So that's it, I'm just like the rest of you, love them streetrods!!

Howdy, I'm a former San Diegan (Vista), now residing in Wildomar, got too expensive for me down there. Did you ever go to "Cruising Grand" in Escondido? I think I've seen that car before. My husband was the guy in the big red 65 Peterbilt there almost every Friday.

Actually the tires do smoke with very little effort. As to the shiny paint, the car has never been on a trailer, been over to Lake Havasu City, Arizona with it a couple of times and up to Fresno, as well as Bishop, California. Best time though is in Bakersfield for the "California Hot Rod Reunion". Can't hardly wait for October 1st-thru-3rd!!
