Independence Day

Thanks much its good to know how the lights stay on, one dream at a time.

 

Thanks for dreaming. you have helped all of us. keep up the dreaming.

 

Indeed! Thanks you!

 

Thank-you Ryan! for all you hard work.

 

Ryan, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.I love this place

 

Every time I look at my Alliance tags neatly placed on my "Johnny Cash at the Hammersmith" Poster, I am proud to be apart of something with so much passion for what we love, and after reading that, it makes it all even more important. Thanks Ryan. GBUSA

 

Congrats, Ryan, for having the foresight to design such a great "meetin place" and the intestinal fortitude to carry through with it. All of the previous "kudos" and those which will follow can only partially say thanx from all of us who visit everyday. It is an incredible link for all of us car nuts! And yes, "GOD BLESS AMERICA" for giving all of us the opportunity to live our dreams and sometimes even drive them! protect America vote come November!

 

Thanks Ryan... it takes a lot to make that jump. Trust me I know.

I did the same thing with Billetproof. I laid my retirement and my house on the line and quit a very well paying job to run Billetproof. My old gig was a dream job to some, it was to me when I started it, but I'd sit there rocking back and forth counting the minutes until I could get home and think about hot rods. Now I've immersed myself in them, and more importantly I've immersed myself in the people that surround them. Thats the best part. I dont make a fraction of what I made before, but you couldnt pay me to quit. When people have a good time and get to express themselves with this hobby, its makes it worthwhile.

What you do aint easy its a 24/7/365 job. Hopefully you get as much out of it as the rest of us do. Thanks a ton.

 

Thanks for taking the leap Ryan. American dream fur shur.

 

Others can say it much better than I can, but thank you Ryan for providing a meeting place where even a biologist can learn how to build a jalopy. Only in America.
Happy 4th man.

 

Happy Independence Day,everyone!
Very inspiring story.I thank you for the H.A.M.B.,Ryan,it's the coolest thing out there.
Ryan rules! He rules!!

 

Thank YOU Ryan. There are some great people here, I've learned a lot and hopefully have been able to pass some good info on. I know we members don't always agree with each other but what family does? I've also scored some great deals thanks to fellow HAMB members.

 

You done good Ryan, keep up the good work!!-----All the HAMBERS enjoy your fruits of hard labor!
Nice to meet you at LAR HAMBER sun shade cover----Thats when I pinned my Alliance tag to the banner!!!---I didn't realize Bob Barnes was also HAMB orientated.----He looks good with his new top hat!!---------Don

 

Ryan, thanks for all your effort. This is the only site I make sure to visit everyday!! I guess I'm hopelessly hooked, a JJ and Hamb junky. I wonder if there's a cure? Hope you had another great 4th, Cat

 

You are alway doing the right things the right way. 100% Of my support to you!

 

Happy 4th. You have certainly been a big help in my life.

 

Attaboy buddy. Sometimes you just have to go for it. We're all proud of you and appreciate the work you do for our hobby. Love ya man.

Doc.

The best joint on the planet for those who live this "life style". Good job.

 

Imagine if you hadn't followed your dream, many years from now, lying on your deathbed thinking "I wish I had.........".

Glad you had the guts and vision Ryan and happy Independence Day to you.

 

That sure was a gamble! But,life's a gamble. Quitting you job was a roll of the dice! That had to be a cheek squeezer,when you walked out of the office! Not knowing what's gonna happen is a real terror. I'm sure it was a financial "Jump off a bridge",hoping you'll land on your feet. If guys never took chances,we wouldn't have many of the things that make our lives easier these days.
Bet you sat on your porch yesterday and reflected back with a HUGE smile.

 

Thanks for believing in yourself and us. This combo has turned out to be the best thing going.
As for leap of faith 30 plus year ago I quit a high paying job for my health. I have an tobacco allergy and back then people smoked in offices alot. Sick of being sick I walked out the door at work on my lunch break and never looked back. Benn self employed all these years, healthy, wise, and broke but I would not trade it for anything.

good luck

God bless America... and the HAMB Alliance!
(I'll renew my sub when I get my tax.)

 

I am simply in awe of the vision and passion and knowledge that jump-started you into this whole HAMB thing to begin with, and at such a tender young age, too!! Thanks for punching the big hole in the hotrod/hopped-up/kustom/everything-racing ether that allows us all to draft along. You're the owner/driver of this glorious thing called HAMB, and we're just along for the ride.

Thank you for sharing your passion, Ryan, and may you keep at it for at least a few more decades!

Oh, and Happy 4th!

 

Thanks for creating a wonderful place for the minds to meet and the knowledge to flow!

I proudly display my Alliance Member tag in my shop!

Keep up the hard work!

 

Can't say anymore then has allready been said except...THANK YOU RYAN!!!!

 

...And the pursuit of happiness. Amen, brother.

 

Nicely said. I'm happy for you. GOD Bless.

 

Ryan, words to live by- and you've exhibited all. Thank you....



Besides pride, loyalty, discipline, heart, and mind, confidence is the key to all the locks.

Thanks to all the vets that made this day possible. A special thank you goes out to T.D. VanAntwerp, a WWII Hellcat that left us just this spring. He liberated 10 death camps in Europe. God Speed Van!!!
