    Hello,
    I've been visiting the H.A.M.B for quite awhile so I thought it was about time to "check" in to see what condition my condition is in" (haha). You see, a long time ago I got interested in old Mopars and still am, and being a kinda low-buck, do it yourself patternmaker I have found for myself many challenges (opportunities) to build what was once considered an "off brand" car. I love the soul of all the old cars, traditional rods and customs, but I'm not a purest in that I like them to go faster, handle and stop better, but not loose thier "soul". Right now I have a 36 Dodge
    PU, sits low, primered, with a healthy 360, and a 37 Dodge 4 dr project. The flathead six that is in the sedan did duty in the pick-up for twenty some years and is still going strong. The longest trip I/it took was from here in MN to Oklahoma City and back in, I think, 1984. I like the HAMB for the opportunities others have had and thier willingness to share them. Hopefully in the future I'll have some to share as well. Never chopped a top so I guess a 4dr is a way to go all in!
    Later, Mike
