Oh?? I thought perhaps he had passed away.

I thought he swam away.:drowninga: :drowninga:

They're building RC cars after his '69 low stance Camaro now?!?!
:confused18:

If you were on Facebook you would know he has been in Cabo. :lol:

Yeah but not for 6 months. :bitchslap:

He has two camaros that run... that is all. :stirthepot:

Oh you just had to go there. :catfight:

So I get it... he gets a couple cars running and then jets away from us. :badidea:

Supposedly. He's in Cabo and this can not be confirmed at the moment.

He's now one of our most celebrated lurkers.

Thanks for the laugh gents. While it is true that I have been somewhat removed from the activities here, I do check in at least weekly to see what is happening.

I've been studying for the CPA exam which has taken away 3 hours of each day that I really didn't have before--but am making time to do. It doesn't leave a lot on the table for other stuff---but when I do take a break, I always check in here and occasionally on FB.

Car is still moving forward---saving up for the remainder of the big parts to do the LS3/DSE sub frame swap (Auto Rad and Vapor Works). In the meantime, Brett will be seeing the car again to put the mini tubs in it and help me squeeze a bit more tire up front. Once he gets that going, I will hope to post up some pics and get back on the board more once again. I am still driving the car weekly and it gets a lot of street miles. The race car is once again waiting its turn to get to the track. I am hoping by November to be able to have some first passes on it with the new chassis. Still needs a bit more dyno time before it gets there.

Miss this place and the people. Hope to see you boys at SEMA---it will be here before we know it.

Doc Fresh.

Personally I'm thrilled that you're selling so much Gap Spray that without a CPA you can't begin to count the money.


Last time I had a CPA exam I had to have surgery to remove part of my colon.

:BlahBlah: :BlahBlah: :BlahBlah: :BlahBlah: :BlahBlah: :BlahBlah: :BlahBlah: :BlahBlah:

Whatever. Get your butt out here for SEMA.

:captain:

Good to hear from all of Dub's ...

LOL
Good luck with the testing "Doc Fresh".

Once I get past this, i will be able to remove the other half for you quite quickly at a reasonable rate--about the cost of Texas Motorsports LS3 heads to be precise. We can do this at your new shop. I travel.

The Man, the Myth, the Legend...your post is almost like an Elvis sighting.

I am glad someone is actually driving their car. Post up a picture and show these guys what a completed car looks like. LOL

Will do---good to hear from you bro!

Skippa, ever since watching this, I have been unable to get this theme song outta my head. It just keeps replaying over and over. Many thanks.

Good to hear from ya Doug, glad you're still getting the Camaros out for some driving. Getting out and driving for me is like medicine for the soul. Good luck on your CPA exam, keep moving forward! :thumbsup:

X2! See you at SEMA.

Hey what's happened to all the pics and updates from this thread?

Looks like Brett deleted every post he ever made....

hmmmm, ok what's up with that?

Not sure---but that is disappointing. I'll check in with the Mod's to see if something else may have happened.

I wish I had copies of all of those pics as it was a great way to look back on the history of the car.

D

We were all wondering the same thing.

I was bummed to see that as well, Dave, can u let us know? Sorry for the thread jack....Mke

Pretty disrespectful to the people that paid for the work.

She's a legend without the photos....:D

So maybe this was for the best after all. Nice spin brother. LOL

Brett hasn't been banned or decided to no longer visit the site has he?

Sorry you don't have more pictures of the build process, D. I always enjoy seeing those pictures.

No he has not been banned. Whether or not he chooses to visit here is his choice.

Trey, I am picking and responding to your post in Dave's thread. This hasn't been an intentional stall on my part, rather I needed to get my understanding clear as well. The community here is important to me also, but these types of things aren't always easy to explain--and the folks involved have their own interpetations. I sometimes wrestle with what's appropriate to share in situations like this since I ascribe to the notion of "Do unto others as you want done unto you". I want to take the high road of course, and in my case I will just say that Brett got to busy to finish the car up from the work that was done a year ago. I've decided to move on since there is no clear date in the future to finsh up the car. His work was outstanding as the remaining pictures showed, he just has to many other obligations at this time. I haven't heard back from him on why the pics had to come down, but technically, they were his property. I am bummed they are gone, but that is his choice.

I am trying to figure out next steps, and have a couple shops in mind, and wish I wan't in this situation since I came to appreciate and count on Brett and his work, but it is what it is for me at this point.

I will post up pics as soon as I get it to where it's going (most likely in January).

Merry Christmas to all of my bro's here.

Blessings--

Doug

So --- In other words he found some paying customers that took your place...


HAHAHAHAHAHA Just joking around here.

Merry Christmas to you also Doug.

Merry Christmas!

Thank you, Doug. That's a perfectly appropriate response in my opinion. I'm glad to hear this hasn't been a nightmare scenario and that you were pleased with Brett's work. Best of luck finding another shop that will take care of your car.

Exactly. LOL.

XXX-OOO

Babs.

I'll keep the updates going once I get it into a shop. This time, I'll post the pics. :D

Nothing but class my friend. One thing I've learned is to make positive assumptions and realize that many times there are underlying circumstances. It's not personal unless we make it that way. This takes emotional reps and discipline. Merry Christmas to you and the family.

Way to go Doug. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Hey Doug, I really like your's and Dave's response's to the "wondering public". It is so cool seeing the pics and how some fabbers decide to do things and then when it just goes "black", its kind of a bummer.

But I for one, really appreciate the class shown here. All of us know "sheet happens" and perspective is usually reported from one side only (aka typicaly media), But we all know there are three sides to every story, "yours, mine, and the truth"

Back to our regular schedule programming (and now the wise words from the prophet Larry the cg, :gitrdun:
