Thread: 41 Willys Gasser project

Steve I'm with yah. I wish I had something to post about my build, but weather and money, and lack of time off are big factors for me right now. It seemed the new format to the forum was the start to the major shift of this site. I came here in 2007, and within 1/2 hour of posting a question, 2-3 people would chime in, including many of the above. Politics, and advertisements seem to be the major factors that have sent people away from here. It is a real shame because it is these very people that have attracted most of us here, and kept us. I guess once I got most of the beginner questions out of the way, I enjoyed the banter and project sharing most. Wish Don and Ken would come back, between the three of you, your build posts keep this place alive. I appreciate other members still here and willing to lend advice and comments, so I stay and follow their builds and yours. Dave has always been helpfull, and posted build threads that are fun to watch, and Roger is here too to lend a hand and keep us entertained, as is Bob. But losing Don is sort of like losing Dean Martin and being left with half a comedy team, no fodder for Bob to post his beauties.
Anyway, I learn from your threads all the time, and you inspire me to improve the quality of what I want from my project. Your tips on fabrication, make me want to take some metal shop courses and get a metal lathe! So please keep posting and Cheers!
