Toward the end Brian was getting a little burned out on the whole forum thing. Nothing against CHR, he just had done it too long and the fun had worn off a little for him, from what I gathered.
He is now doing model trains or something like that, I think, and I wish he would stop back because he was a good member and knew his stuff, plus I liked him as a person.

Thanks for the update Don, I've wondered from time to time how he's doing. He was a great asset to the forumI've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

It's hard to hide in an internet world. He got BIG into miniature steam engines, and apparently still is, and related stuff. Looks like he's still doing the computer modeling and lots of instruction.........same guy, different play field. Here's a thread he posted a few days ago: Overcrank Single cylinder engine - The Home Shop Machinist & Machinist's Workshop Magazine's BBSYour Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

He was. I don't think he even posts much, if at all, on the HAMB anymore. At least I haven't seen any recent posts if he has. Maybe if someone on here knows him they can pass along that we were asking and see if he can let us know how he is these days.

I posted over on HSM for him to drop by, if he has time of course. He seems very busy with his newest steam engine design/build.

You can contact him through CHR using his email I did yesterday. He says he still drives his hotrod as a daily driver.Charlie

Bob thanks for the link that steam engine is pretty cool. Must be nice to fabricate using cad programs, and personal knowledge! Hope the Canadian summer has been favorable for him!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.
on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
Time for brakes
