whats up dudes of HAMB.Im a 30 year old chicago native who eats,sleaps,shits,and breaths hot rods.I've mostly owned muscle cars, but love traditional rods.My present projects include a '66 valiant street/strip terror, '67 triumph bonniville chopper, a '57 392 hemi and a '54 331 hemi (aint figered out what i want them in though).Right now the valiant is the only runner.But it turns 12.35 in the quater, not bad for driving it 60 miles to the closest track.This board seems to have a vast wealth of tech info, which i crave.I may not post vary often, but i'll be reading them as often as i can.
