And now he is probably gone---------

But we did it to DennyW, Dave Severson, Gary?, etc,etc-they had/have lots of experience and data that they posted here first hand that was accurate, basic info, correct tech specs, oem info, etc,etc

Seems like all we do is ask for PICS, PICS, and more PICS------Jerry wants to be able to post more pics easier, Roger wants everybody to use photoshop, Brent don't seem to care about the site, Bill seems to just stand in the shadows and occasionally will issue time out or ban??????

Lets work on fixing this place and making it the premier site for rodders to go to for the info they want and need----not just a place where we recommend JEGS and SUMMIT online catalogues as the LIBRARY for hot rods and customs-----

There is a lot more to hotrodding than roller packages with crate engines and it goes from cutting the tree down that has grown thru the windshield to rust removal to title and licensing----

I'm probably got this too long to post but if it works I'll be back
Preview worked-----
So lets keep it under control --------say what you want-expect comments back in return----and lets take this site back to the top and bring back those that have left
Lets pull together----------

A little too late I think.

I've been gone for over a year now and haven't missed a thing.

I worked 7 days a week from November of '15 thru June of this year (about 1500 hours), taking my project car entirely apart to paint, upholster and otherwise finish the whole thing. It saved me a lot of time and effort to NOT post any pictures of it on this website, but some are on my photobucket page, which is open to public viewing. I drove the car 1240 miles in it's unfinished form and now I've logged another 1500 after finishing it. The suspension mods I made that were heavily criticized are working great. The difference in the ride is huge. The car tracks perfectly and there is no sign of tire wear problems from my 4-wheel alignment job. The body work and paint came out great. Most people can't believe I did it all myself.

Very few people visit this site, so posting on it is a waste of time, IMO. Other sites allow a person to post a build log without interference. You should visit the factory five forum sometime. The postings are much more civilized.

Right now, I'm helping a fellow hot rodder (who I met at the Loveland Good Guys show) make some progress on a '37 Oze fenderless car that has doors similar to mine, but an entirely different chassis. At least it has a properly made Kugel IFS. He got his rolling chassis and body in 2011. It had the same problem as my car - doors that are a hollow shell with no provisions for power windows. I've filled the hollow window frame area in both doors, found that the supplied windows don't fit, so made a new window template that will fit. I've got one power window operating with the wood template, but need to get some real glass to finish up the job. Doing the job a second, time probably took half the time that I spent doing mine, but it still may be as much as 40 hours per door. I'm doing the work for free, as entertainment.
