hey guys, figured I should take care of this intro thing after being a lurking member for almost a year. I've always been fascinated with old stuff and going fast. the HAMB is responsible for me keeping my local coffee shop in business and me up too late! This coming weekend I'm going to see a guy about a modified T roadster body. I'll try and attach a pic of the body, but I'm an FNG. its nothing pretty but it'll be a way for me do homework for my metal fab classes. Thanks for the read...any other GSTA guys on this thing? maybe you'll recognize my dad's nova wagon from brainerd or the GSTA show in 06.... Take care! Keep the rubber side down!
Hey Knight, welcome to the HAMB! I'm new here too, but I've started a group for us Minnesotans. Check it out http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/g...hp?groupid=231
link doesn't work. I saw your intro, I also run a dropped s10 as my beater. Saving mine to put under a 49-54 chev after I win the lottery.
Welcome from another minnesota guy! I live up on the north side of the cities in Ham Lake. That "T" has been on craigslist for quite a while....hopefully you can get a good deal. Is your Dad Gary from Magnum superchargers??? He's built motors for a bunch of cool stuff over the years! I've been going to the GSTA show as long as I can remember. Growing up, I couldn't wait to get my coupe nice enough to put it in there and at least get a "thanks for being entered" plaque. I got mine finally at the 2002 show.
40 & 61: Gary isn't my dad, but he is close friends with my dad. he built the big block in the family racecar. Which, if anyone's interested in a stout little SBC or ford, he's always got stuff out at most of the swaps here in MN, usally around crate motor prices, but they'll actually make the power he says they make, if not more. next time you're at a local show and see something with a supercharger on it, look for "magnum superchargers" on the intake or on the blower itself. check my signature for his site, it's worth a look at least.
