Welcome To The New Ford Barn! http://69.61.21.195/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/new.jpg
Wow… It’s been a crazy couple of weeks here at the brand spanking new Ford Barn World Headquarters. Acquiring the Ford Barn was not in the cards for this year, but we just couldn’t sit idly buy and let the doors close. We’d simply gotten too much out of the joint in the past to let that happen. A quick phone call to every man’s hero, Shelly, and the deed was done. Now you fellas have to put up with me as I try like hell to fill her huge shoes. The first order of business was to get the Ford Barn into a more modern environment. You are looking at the new threads right now… Ain’t she grand? This was done for two primary reasons: 1. The old Ford Barn data is priceless and we wanted it preserved and searchable. The new format will allow us to search all of the great posts of old and learn from our past… and that’s what we are all about, right? While the old data has not been imported yet, it will be very soon. Hold your horses. 2. The old Ford Barn was also hard to use, full of spam, and just downright impossible to maintain. The new format fixes all of this and gives all of you many more options as far as functionality. Now, I’m sure there is a contingent of you that is resistant to change. I get it. And I’m going to try as hard as I can to ease you into this new format. Take your time, be patient, and you just might be surprised with what we have put together here. A good place to start is with the basic tutorial I put together for you. Click here to check it out. The rest of you are probably pretty familiar with our format. Jump in and have fun… This all for you. To close, I just want to thank Shelly once again for giving me this opportunity. She has served this community so well over the years and I am honored to pick up the torch and give it my all as well. See you fellas on the flip side. Ryan Cochran P.S. There are bound to be some bugs and broken links floating around the new site. If you see any, just post them on the Q&S forum. I’ll get em fixed! |

Re: Welcome To The New Ford Barn! I've been a HAMB member for a while, and found it quite useful. I came to the Ford barn, but had a hard time finding what I needed. Much better now, and with the same format as the HAMB, I didn't need to learn anything new.

Re: Welcome To The New Ford Barn! This is going to be fun, I can feel it in my bones. All I need is to now get that '36 ford that isn't for sale, but one that I will someday own.

Re: Welcome To The New Ford Barn! I can stop lurking now!

Re: Welcome To The New Ford Barn! Allo? Allo? Where am I? Looks familiar...but different somehow? S'allright. I see lots of old Fords and a few old friends. I'll figure it out...eventually.
Thank me. :) |
Re: Welcome To The New Ford Barn! First post here. Been on the H.A.M.B. for years and just today found this Forum. Man, I wish I'd known sooner. This'll feel like "home" for a Ford guy. Currently helping a buddy do a full on resto of the rustiest damn 55 T-bird I have ever seen! I'll be checking in when I need a tetanus shot or a pep session.
Later, Phil |

Re: Welcome To The New Ford Barn! Hello Everyone...the site looks great, look forward to sharing and talk with all of you, Rob
|
Re: Welcome To The New Ford Barn! Glad to be here. I've be a regular at the hamb for years, but since I bleed Ford blue, thought I would check out the Barn.
|
Re: Welcome To The New Ford Barn! Hello all. I've been visiting with you all in the back ground and decided to "come out of the closet" so to speak.
I have a '55 Ranchwagon that is under continuing construction. I look forward to learning from you all as well as sharing some of my experiences and knowledge. |
Re: Welcome To The New Ford Barn! I'm the new guy , I guess , and didn't know about the "Old Ford Barn " so I'll come in , grab a cup of coffee and have a look around .
I'm a car guy in general and a Ford guy specifically . I have admiration for the work guys do on any make and model but I come from a Ford family and sold Fords for 25 years or so . No toys in the garage right now but I've had 12 mustangs over the years ( one at a time ) starting with a '68 GT fastback I bought new ....wish I'd kept it . I plan to get into another older Ford , fairly soon , and get back in the swing of things .......also into model railroading which takes up the rest of my time . I do like '32, 33-34 and '40's in particular but will have to settle for something a little cheaper than what those classics bring these days ......maybe early to mid 50's Ford or Merc . T |
Re: Welcome To The New Ford Barn! I just joined The Ford Barn and like the format. Have been a member of FFCars.com for some time which has the same format/ look & feel. Completed my first kit build last year and just recently purchased a '41 Ford 1/2 Ton Pickup. I appreciate the opportunity to enjoy the Early V8 experience.
