Re: The Hamb
I'm a HAMBer and I can assure you, alot of the guys over there can appreciate (and possibly own) stockish "A" 's. My early'30 std roadster is bone stock except for its Winfield cam and '35 wires ; is it a hot rod? Not in my book! Just another neat old Ford. Don't be afraid to check out Ryan's "refined" HAMB.

I love a Hot Rod especially a "traditional" one. Just not here. Maybe if you want the car to drive like a modern car, drive a modern car. The other thing that get my blood pressure up is when someone states they HAVE to make a change. Nobody HAS to change a thing in the car. It drove, steered, stopped, etc just fine since 1928. If you want to change it because you want to change it, fine just don't tell us you HAVE to do it, as you don't have to. And then ask on a site the caters to modified A's. This topic comes up every few months. There was one guy in the past that even said "you purists should start your own forum". Again post what you want, Ryan will delete it if he does not like it. Just don't start another thread complaining about it.

Re: The Hamb
I hit both forums every night. I'm interested in both. The HAMB is great cause they have some fantastic build threads. Some of the guys and their metal work is fascinating.
I love the restored ford as much as a traditional rod. Both forums have tremendous interest for me. But I like to see them kept separate. I've seen many a car on this sight that I'm glad didn't wind up on the HAMB. Guess I'm saying "Everything has its place". |

Re: The Hamb
I'm on the Hamb too, and before I owned a Model A, I was mainly a hot rod guy. Once I'd got the A, I grew to love them in most forms, and I love what the barn is about. I don't come here to talk hot rods, I want to see what you all are doing with stock and restored Model As. I've hardly ever looked at the Model T, or later model Ford sections.
I understand wanting to run your A on normal roads safely, and making small changes for that reason, but I have the luxury of living in a small town, where you could peddle a completely stock A without any problems. I find it great that we have dedicated forums that cater to all interests, because we are all car guys and girls, and there's room for us all to co exist in peace and harmony, if you should so chose.

Re: The Hamb
Now that's over the line!! I recommend that you be banned from this and any site having to do with real autos.
