    Nice introduction.

    Hey, you guys that I don't know, where can I find some stuff to buy?
     
  3. Not a very good start here on the H.A.M.B.! Please read the rules.
     
  4. Although I'm still going to say welcome to the HAMB, because you did manage to find the Introduction page, and post, I'm also going to say that this was a pretty poor Introduction...
    None of us know anything about you, other than the fact that we're brothers, and that you're looking for a vintage racecar project. I'm sure you'd agree that the above sounds less like an introduction, and more like a question.

    That being said, I don't like to be a dick, so I'll offer you a few pointers, since I went through the ropes on here not too long ago myself.
    - Let people know about you. The more we know, the more help you'll get. There isn't a lot of help offered to someone that no one knows.
    - Tell us what you're looking for. What year or time period? A dirt track? A dragster? A speedster?
    - What are your goals and plans for it? A museum? To restore and race again?

    Finally, I'd suggest that there isn't really a website for barn find racecars... it's not exactly like barn finds are turning up every day. Most people find one the old fashioned way... they go out hunting for them. Track down rumours, make phone calls, peer in barns, go driving.

    Best of luck in your hunt. I hope someone on here is able to give you a hand. We really are a good bunch!

    There's a lot of prime stuff over in Cali, I'm sure the leads will start popping up.

    That intro addition is a small bit better so now I will give you 2 places to look.. The first is that old stand by Hemmings Motor news.. The second is a publication from calif covering vintage races from around the world.. Vintage Oval Racing.. Both have many Race cars for sale in them... I hope this info helps you........
