James, what were you building back then when you ordered some parts from Hamburger performance...was it these guys notice the lettering on the fender, or did they get bought out too.

Can I go back?
Just for a little while?

We used to buy parts from Ed Hamburger quite a bit. I was getting stuff from him when I was still in high school in the very late 70's for my first car which was a 72 Duster with a 318. Later when I built my 340 69 Barracuda it had a lot of Hamburger's parts along with a lot from Herb McCandless as well.

I still have a set of Hamburger's "stocker" leaf springs that was on the Duster mentioned above,they may go on my 440 Demon when I put it back on the street.

Well it's a Ok car paint wise,but thanks! It's a original 340 4-speed car,but we've run it with a big block and 727 since we built it in 1981.I painted it in a open carport then too.It was a rolling shell that we got for $60!! The 440 in it now is a mild street engine that has run 11.30.I wanted to run this car in a GT class with a 318 4bbl combo,but with my son headed to a out of state college,that's not happening.

My car is OK,but Jim Wahl's Demon is a REAL NICE car.Used to see it a Gainesville many years ago.

Dennis, I don't think Ed has anything to do with the businesses anymore. Hamburger's Performance was sold years ago and SLP was being run by David, his son the last time I talked to David many years ago. I still have my original Hamburger Oil Pan from the Demon. Jim

A local gentleman who used to race big block Chevies (in an assortment of bodies) has told me that the 340s were the cars that gave him the most trouble.
