Hi all, from Adelaide, Australia.

[chester meredith]

My name is Michael and I've been building hot rods for about twelve years now.The HAMB seems to be the place to see more stuff like I like, so I've been looking around it for a while. I'm better at using a MIG welder and an angle grinder then a computer and internte thing, so all this typing and so on take me forever.I have an 'A'v8 tub that I got on the road about ten yeras ago. It's got an 8ba flathead that I built with a Weber cam, old mallory ignition,ported and relieved block, and two 94s. It wears out the rear tyres really well. I built a little channelled T roadster about five years agowith an A frame an a Jap motor and trans. I sort of got side tracked , as It was supposed to have a flathead v8 too. Since I've been driving it with the 4 banger, I havent bothered getting it any closer yo putting in the flathead.I've just finished an 30 A tudor with 4 1/2" chop, pontiac motor and ford 3spd trans. I like the early hotrod look and like looking around the HAMB for pictures of other peoples hotrods. Thanks, Michael

He said the big P word!:D And HOW do we do this? What motor are you running? What have you done to it? Have you punched it out any? Pistons? Cam? Just spill your guts and I'll meddle thru them.:D

Oh and welcome!

Thanks to everyone that has posted some pictures of my cars. I don't have a digital camera thingy, so that's probably the only way I'm going to get some pictures out there. I think I'd rather spend the money/time on old cars stuff anyway. Thanx again. Michael.

Hey Michael,
Welcome aboard. I've got a little parcel on the way to you, the one I was sending in November ha ha ha. Got your Ignition mag the other day, thanks.
Your father in laws roadster looks bitchin'.
Will get back into the Model A soon, have to sell the F truck first.:(

Hey Mike, it was great to meet you and the rest of the guys during the Chopped weekend. Sure am glad that you've joined the brotherhood here on the HAMB. We're all better for it.

You and the rest of the guys I met seem to capture the true meaning of this hobby / lifestyle / obsession. The BORN LOOSERS must be a hell of a crew.

Boner (Chris) :)
