Intro

[Jer]

Hello all, I would really like to start off on the right track, so here is a little bit about me. I am 21 years old, live in Hammond, IN and been checking out the H.A.M.B. for a little while now. Right now I'm in the beginning stages of making a '55 Chevy gasser, it is my first project, so I'm still learning as I go along and this car is a definite learning experience. I am a mechanic at an independant shop, so I do know things about cars but bodywork is definitely new to me. That's about all there is to me, take it easy.

Welcome to the HAMB looks like those tires could use a little air tho

I never thought about letting the air out of the tires to lower it. Hmmmm... It's good for 3"... I think I'll go try it.

Jeremy, Welcome to the HAMB. That photo reminds me of the story my old boss used to tell of a Monday morning after a weekend of racing. A car showed up at the shop with the tires deflated and nailed to the wood deck of the trailer. Alcohol may have been involved. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Jer]

Thanks for the many warm welcomes, I appreciate it. Right now the '55 is in the stages of fixing the rust. That picture is from the day I picked it up in Fon du Lac, Wisconson. It was freezing and that train was there the entire time I was...about 6 hours. The car came with a locked up 265, a Powerglide and a ton of other stuff. There is a 350 4-bolt that will get the treatment after the body is good, which will be a while, just ask SilentRick. The previous owner put new quarters over the originals which had patch panels on them, along with 2 outer rockers. The floor and those spare parts are off now and I'm right in the middle of fixing that stuff. So it'll be a little while before it's on the road, but hopefully not as long as I anticipate.

Well, look who showed up. Hey man, as long as it takes to get that '55 on the road, you still might beat Rick with his '46 Ford. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Hey, just have Jeremy (Mojo66) build your car for you.

[Steel Phoenix]

Welcome Jer! Nice ride. Looks like you've got your work cut out for you. How fun!

[PrimeEvil]

Welcome to the board from another newb.

looks like you got a good start.Stick with and youll learn alot from these folks http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Hellfish]

welcome! that's gonna be a cool car!

[Rand Man]

You got a great start there. I understand your theory about fixing the rust, but get that thing running ASAP. It's a big mistake to take a car apart as soon as you get it. You will be much more happy of you can get in a drive around the block, even if it is full of holes.

[chub chub]

what?
you're supposed to fix the holes???
