Matt. You should talk to him since you can't seem to get that first gen of yours to measure up to his.

Me I'm charting my own path and will be just fine.

If I need any help copying what's already been done I'll give you a call.

I heard from some of the older guys around here that this car actually ran and the owner explored its capabilities? I thought this site was just to talk about cars. Learn something new everyday.

You should start a thread on it. Call it "glory days"

I suppose I must give credit where credit is due. In a sea of people who like to fix things that aren't broken, (or completed) you manage to stand out for actually trying to fix something that is broken.

That's profound Bro. I'm gonna sleep on it and get back to you

Edit: Guess I was right last night. This site is turning into a Torino Blob

That is why I haven't posted any updates to anything that I've been working on.

We really need Jody to create a section called the junkyard. We will move a few build threads over there. No reason to name names. You guys know who you are. Members will then have to pay a nominal fee to be set free to go digging for information, pictures, etc. Whatever they bring back, if they can find anything of value, will be charged accordingly. Half off on rainy days.

It makes a lot of sense Matt. Sometimes a builds technical details, pictures and lessons get buried in antics of peoples friends and errant members. It does make it harder to use those threads for informative purposes.

I'm glad to see you aren't one of those guys.
