The H.A.M.B. forum

Hey guys, I just signed up for this forum and see there are alot of talk of A-100's, Econolines, GM's etc etc. I have found some really cool pics on here today. Just thought I would pass it on.

Been checking that site out for a while now on a daily basis. Was going to post the coverage of Norwalk from there with Hemi's A100 on it but he beat me to it. The site has convinced me that the ultimate hot rod early van has not been built yet.
There is an occasional post about vans there, they seem to tolerate earlies but try not to go overboard if you do post.
The Friday art show is a must see if you like car/truck/van drawings. Some of the best automotive artists show their work on there every Friday.

Honestly Virtual, thats exactly where most of my time is spent when I'm at their site !

I sat down and did some reading of some threads and man I can't believe the idiots on that forum. There was a guy who posted pics of his Pro Street Econoline and man the crap people were posting about it was awful!!! One guy flat out said the guy sucked and that he hated his truck.... Man talk about disrespect. I understand that alot of the guys on there like to call themselves "traditional Hot Rodders" but with attitudes like that they need to call themselves "traditional assholes". Those guys have a hate on for Pro Street vehicles.. I don't know why they wouldn't dig all styles of hot rods but hey whatever. Makes me wanna post some pics of my "Pro Streeter" on there just to start some crap. hahahah. Those guys need to buy an Early and Mellow out. hahahah.

lets swamp them with some earlies!!!! my van smoked a mustang the other nite!!!

Sorry, I'm new here since I juust bought my '64 Econoline. The thing you have to remember about the HAMB is it's strictly a Traditional Rod and Custom site. I doubt there's a better wealth of knowledge on any site and the help that I've seen has been nothing short of amazing. I will agree with you, we do get ruthless with some of the subjects and some take it a bit overboard, but for the most part, it's good guys and there's not a question out there that they can't answer. Just beware, keep it on topic if you're going there,

I just can't get my head around the idea of ripping on someone the way some of them do... I would like to think that someone would have something better to do with their lives then to do this. I understand that it is a Traditional Rod and Custom site but they seem to have open arms for gassers and such and even though I consider my A-100 a Pro Streeter it has way more in common with the old gassers then some dudes tail dragger or traditional or rat or whatever. But all that aside I just don't get the attitudes of some of them, like they are the be all and end all of hot rodding... give me a brake. I guess that is why I enjoy this forum so much there is no B.S. and everyone is nice and encouraging with one another.
