History How did you find the Hamb?

It's a lot easier to find than get rid of.

 

Unless the Boss shows you the door! HRP

 

Hell you got to work at that, trust me.

@luckythirteenagogo I was working at a large civil design firm a few years back and one of the cad techs asked me about the HAMB Drags so we started talking about the HAMB in general, I guess he decided to check it out on the company computer. I got a visit by someone from tech support asking about the HAMB I guess the kid told them to ask me about it. LOL the name isn't always considered PC. I took him over to the forum on my computer. they blocked the forum but gave me a cheat code so I could visit if I wanted to. Something about the site not being socially acceptable with some of the more straight laced people in the firm.

 

BAHAHAHAH! more than once my wife has seen some robust flesh on a tiny picture of my HAMB screen and questioned what I was doing...

 

We were looking for several cars & parts for other people along with our 56 Olds 88 Been along time ago but have met many new friends Susan & Larry Down in the Mo. Ozarks

 

My mother always traditionally served it on Easter.

 

Steve told me about it. Right after he bought this car, and I gave him the front brakes for it. That was in 2004 I think.

 

I invented the hamb while rooming with al gore in college.

 

I was 17 and reading a Hot Rod Magazine article covering a primered ford roadster pickup // gasser type build. In the interview they mentioned it was built with help from their buddies on the HAMB. I trolled for a while and joined up shortly thereafter. I hated this place for a long time due to the big-mouthed pricks and unnecessary amounts of flaming/keyboard kickboxing. I don't really use it for tech, but it's an amazing resource for learning the true history of hot rodding.

 

LOL a Super Moderator from The City doesn't think he's going to fit in. Like you really can't have a Rose before dinner.

 

Saw it mentioned on another internet site.

 

I saw someone post about it on another forum.

 

Sad to see so few folks from 15+ years ago.

 

I've only been around for 12 years. HRP

 

Got to start sometime! Better late than never!

 

Some of these posts are so touching. Almost enough to make a grown man cry!

 

I came across the hamb looking for some ideas for a Merc. Two years later and I still don't have a one

but who's counting?

 

Don Coatney sent me in this direction.

 

i was at home depot and spooky was working there and told me about it, that was in colorado in 1999

 

my buddy (hscott) turned me on to the HAMB

 

After finally getting back to a hobby I had when I was younger, I picked up a 331 hemi short block with a camshaft that nobody knew the make or grind by the serial numbers on it. I started posting the numbers on different auto sites Hamb being one of them and after going through it found it to be the best hot rod site online.

 

I made a wrong turn at Albuquerque...actually a doctor who went to the HAMB Drags and was restoring a '60 Pontiac - one of the "Car Guys" lunch group from Kansas City that I was a member of - told me about it a few years before I moved back to Omaha. So I lurked a few times. Then I found out "Rocky" was a moderator, and since we've been buds since the early-mid '80s, plus I had a few other friends from back home on it, it all went downhill from there.

 

Eating HAMB for Passover seems somehow just wrong. That pretty much sums up the HAMB somehow just wrong.

Your Nobel is in the mail.

 

Yeah,the Boss threatened to swat my nose with a rolled up newspaper when I first joined. HRP

 

Danny, you, that guy called Beaner, and a bunch of others keep me coming back. Ya'll almost make me feel sane and you know about old cars !

 

I think I was on another forum and looked at a link that brought me here.

 

LOL once I bad mouthed someone's stump jumper when the boss was standing close by. I mentioned to him that I probably shouldn't have said that and he just smiled at me.

 

A few different ways we got here, but the most important thing is we are here now and I, for one, plan to stay as long as I am able to.
