Non HAMB rod sections
I have been on the HAMB for a long time and love it. Some of the old FordBarn folks may not. The modifed posts are showing up a lot here and may be turning off the long time Barners. A lot of the Barners like them strickly stock and modified post that have to be waded thru may be unplesent to them. I humbly suggest seperate sections for modifed topic discusions and classifieds. The HAMB is a little tough for the folks that are only slightly changing their cars.

Re: Non HAMB rod sections
We,,Hambers,Have invaded the site in staggering numbers and brought too much HOT ROD to the BARN,,in my opinion.
Having used The Ford Barn for years when looking for parts and advertising a few parts for sale. I have also gathering knowledge from all the guys here that I have put in practice with my own projects. I never joined in the forum end of the site mainly because of my interest more in hot rods than the original side of restoration. That said,when Ryan took the reins from Shelly and introduced a more friendly user format ( in my mind) I Joined up,Not that Shelly didn't do a good job with what she had to work with,Ryan just took it to a different level,,I retain the same user name here as I do on the Hamb. I believe a lot of the original Ford Barn guys will eventually show back up and a lot of Hamb guys jumping on the band wagon will gradually back off simply because it Is still primarily a site for and about the original cars. I also believe there is a lot of resentment with some of the old time Ford Barn guys,,they resist change while a larger majority of the older members have reluctantly embraced the changes Ryan has adopted and are really starting to enjoying all the new features.

Re: Non HAMB rod sections
No hot rods on The Barn. Go to the HAMB for that. That's my opinion.

Re: Non HAMB rod sections
We are all proud Ford owners, just because we have a few modifications does not mean that we cannot contribute, the vehicle is still a 38 Ford, with all Ford components, if I had a 38 Ford with a Chevy 350 and a th 400 I could see the other fellows point. This format is a lot easier than the old one, I have been perusing the barn for 3 years, it seems to me that most of the guys came over and love it. I like the new barn and my friends on here.

Re: Non HAMB rod sections
The ford barn will focus on restoration... And stock fords. We might have a side bar here and there, but restoration will remain the focus.
Once the novelty wears off the new format, we will start pointing more in that direction. |

Re: Non HAMB rod sections
Hamb stuff should stay on the Hamb, it is a big site with info on those topics that would not be discussed here.

Re: Non HAMB rod sections
Its becoming apparent buy the vibe here us guys from the hamb aren’t very welcome. That’s ok, I can understand it.
(still kinda strange, the head hamb guy put the save on it for them) Iv gotten accustom to being an outsider anyways. (don’t fit the street rod deal and don’t fit the stock deal.) But you know what , I don’t care because the only guy that needs to dig what im doing is me. The truth is we mostly build the rusty clapped out cars they would never "restore" anyway.

It's not the format or the fact it's "new" that's the cause for you getting harassing phone calls. It's totally due the jerks on the forum, a lot of whom were also on the "old" Barn, too. In fact, the new software makes it easier to conceal your email address from others; if someone wants to contact/harass you, make them use the PM function and put them on your "ignore" list.

If some old timer that's anti-anything non-stock wants to/tries to harass me, I'll ignore him/her. The delete button works wonders and is super easy to use. I'd also report them to the forum administration, which, if necessary, can ban him/her from even posting.

Re: Non HAMB rod sections
What did you guys expect? If you read the Ford Barn for any lenght of time you would have seen that it was a stock site (except for the rodder section). Any one who suggested anything else was swarmed on like killer bees swarm on a potential invader.
While I have a "stock" Model A, I wandered the HAMB site looking for hints and tips on techniques. These can be used no matter what you are working on. I think Ford Barn needs the old Rodders section back.

Re: Non HAMB rod sections
Personally, I love the HAMB and I am a long time contributer but bringing HAMB related cars and personalities to a restorers/stocker site is like talking about rat rods on the HAMB. We don't like it when people do it to us so let's have respect for the Ford Barn.
I have been coming to the Barn for years as a Model A owner for info. I am happy that Ryan has taken this site under his wing and will take care of it. I do agree that when the novelty wears off it will be right back to where it should be. Thanks Ryan. BloodyKnuckles |

Re: Non HAMB rod sections
Guys... the street rod section got 14 hits the last 10 days of its existence... I don't think it will be missed by many.
