On the HAMB, 1958 Ford Ranch Wagon "Class Project"

[Zapato]

Check out the School project being run up in Seattle, 58 ford wagon being made road worthy in an all volunteer effort. truly remarkable guy volunteering lots of time,funds and effort getting 4-5 kids thru a car project and the kids putting in a lot of the same. Totally low buck effort that the kids will never forget.

Its on the HAMB, very well documented with a ton of pictures

I've been keeping up with that, subscribed to it when it had less than 10 posts.  That guy is doing a cool thing with those kids.

Its a traditional rodders message board on the Jalopy Journal website.  HAMB stands for Hokey Ass Message Board,  Go to www.jalopyjournal.com, check it out.  They have a couple hundred thousand members, so its a pretty big deal...Lots of cool guys there, but be careful and go by their rules, because there are a bunch of  buttholes on there as well....

I always advise people to lurk on the HAMB for awhile before joining. Get a feel for the site first and eat a bit of humble pie before jumping. Incredible source for parts and information. Lots of Y-block guys on there. And yes there is a rather large percentage of interesting characters on that site that are always waiting like buzzards ready to turn on the unsuspecting. Some kind of butt fetish me thinks.

Exactly zapato..I lurked for probably 8 months before I posted the first thing, and still got a couple of them on me, back when I had my yellow car, not HAMB friendly.  My current 57 should fit in nicely there, totally old school, a lot like ford-crazy's nice Custom, 390, but with a 5 speed instead of a 4 gear...I love that old stuff...

So JP what's your handle on the HAMB ?

[JPotter57]
