Hot Rod Sportscars on the HAMB

[bayhealey]

Howdy, I'm in the Bay Area as well! I purchased a 1956 Big Healey with a 350 in it this past January. While I'm waiting for new rear rims from Dayton I've been cleaning and planning. The car was stored for 20 years so lots of mouse clean-up but after a good service she started right-up. I'm not a mechanic but I'm learning. As soon as those new rims come in and the car is on new tires I'll be driving it around Alameda and evaluating the next step.

My experience with the local Golden Gate Austin Healey club has been very positive. They seem to like big Healey "Nasty Boys", joking that I'd be beating them at autocross. One member even gave me a cool kit to rid my "boot" of the dread boot fuel smell of the old 100s. I had a blast at their tech day at British Car Specialists in Stockton. They answered a lot of questions and even had a Healy rolling chassis to view.
