    I LOVE the car. the no hood idea, ive never seen it done with the "spider web" cage. the skulls are awesome, and that is a hell of a good lookin car.

    i really wish i could get my hands on one of those.

    Don't let them get you down John, evidently that forum is interested in only the kinds of cars they feel are "traditional", and anything else should not exist in their opinion. I have seen so many cases where someone asks the most simple question, and instead of just giving a decent answer they choose to start banging on the guy.

    Funny part is, they play both sides of the street on that issue too. When one of their buddies on there posts something that other people would be flamed for, all of a sudden it is ok. Just like when they were flaming Jesse James, and then he showed up and posted........then all of them started acting like star struck kids. Plus, it is real easy to be brave sitting at a computer keyboard where you know you will never have to face the guy you are putting down.

    This battle between car hobbyists has been going on lots longer than you or I have been around. In the really old days the 4 cylinder guys hated the new V8 cars, then the flathead guys hated the OHV engines coming out.........they weren't "traditional." Who the h*** REALLY knows what traditional is?? I sure don't.

    Bottom line is your car is your car, and if it makes you happy it doesn't make a rat's behind, and other people have no say in it whatsoever. Besides, most of those "bangers" don't even have a car in all probability, at least not one that is running like yours.

    The funny thing about the hamb is some of those guys go out of their way to poke fun, when all the flaming started i just stuck to my guns and fought back, then the main one doing the harassing pm`ed me and said i earned his respect ,cause i did not back down, and he was just playing anyway, but i see how the double standards work also. There is tons of good info, but not the family bond i see here. oh ya heres the recent pics.there kinda bad but you can see it anyway.

    About a week or so ago my Kid posted some pictures of my T on there, unbeknownst to me at the time. When I ran across the thread I figured the flaming was about to begin, but surprisingly the posts were very kind. Only negative was someone said I needed to change out the blue oil pan gasket (I'm really not THAT fussy ..........it seals and that is all I care about) Perhaps part of it is that Dan is generally treated pretty well on there, and maybe they didn't want to say anything negative to him.

    I think everybody agrees that there is a wealth of good info there, particularly if you are into traditional hot rods and old stuff. I do like what I learn about those things, and some interesting people post some times (Jesse James, Corky Coker, etc)

    its alright you have to take it for what it is and sometimes with a grain of salt because like what was said earlier some got em' and some dont!my idea is whats mine is mine and what is available to me is what ill use... if you like it or if you dont!as long as im buyin'it and my A$$ is in the D-side who cares!! besides thats what its all about even back in the day! thats what separates us from them well mine is my wallet so smoke em if ya got em!
    when all else fails USE A HAMMER!

    Take note that most of the BS dudes on the HAMB are noobs.

    I agree w/ you guys about the HAMB. I love the info but I made the Newbie mistake of mentioning the term, Rat Rod, and they beat the crap out of me for days... The double standard is very obvious over there... CTJ
