I wonder how many of you fall for the traps Facebook puts in your feeds, because most of you get so upset at the drop of my keys on my keyboard. Spell correctly, proper context, at least to a 10th grade level, this is and was and remains my claim. To the chap in Florida who just had to insert that his wife has new tits, you are amusing, and I'm glad I am nothing to you -- thus your replies! My point is and remains an effort to not look like collective dullards. I'm not advocating we get on a BA or Masters Degree level of grammar, just past the elementary school level of communication. For goodness sakes, we all have spell check which works automatically, you have to chose to ignore it -- which makes sense as many of you likely hunt and peck on your keyboard. If you can't type with 4 fingers as you look at your screen utilizing Home Row, you need help. It was fun looking for your projects as I received flak from you all, still sort of looking...again, not to be critical, but to see what I can incorporate into my own lane from your skill set and talents. I still would buy any Shackle I could find for the leaf spring. I certainly would not go to the ends of the country looking for an OEM one, but hey, enjoy the hunt!
Funny how some of you are 'new' here to fbbo, if you have been here since 2009 as I have you would know a bit more about me. Granted, I didn't wade into this conversation gently, that was my choice, which I do not regret. I'm all about getting down to business, perhaps it's my PTSD and or my surgically repaired foot that has been bothering me, at any rate, there is no excuse for such silly mistakes in how we present ourselves in our language. Levying insults isn't in the tool box, rather shouldn't be in the toolbox. If anyone is offended at these efforts then I am not sorry. Language, Where's your work is the question(s) that I have when I read the copious remarks about GYC sucking etc. in their restorations contained in this thread. How we got into welding, who has the biggest Johnson, me being clueless about industry standards and even what OEM is really shows me the core group we had here in fbbo has been infiltrated by thin-skinned keyboard crusading dreamers whom likely have their DVR set to every silly car show on Sunday morning! Guess what I'm doing on Sunday morning; Media Blasting, yes, being self-employed every day is a work day. But, I'll have 2 Challenger Doors, 67 Mustang Doors, Fenders, Hood, Deck Lid, and Valences done today, and my support beams to a paint booth I bought cheap as it was left outside and the support beams have some rust on 'em, yeah, all done today, and the full Body of the Mustang done this week, and concluding a 53 F100 Cab metalwork operations on, and resuming on the Alfa Romeo GTV, and of course my Satellite 'Street Ripper' I'm building; 5.7 w truck tranny, tubbed, widened qtrs., 335s out back, all new AMD metal, and time to banter with you all here!
My points remain: Grammar/Spelling, Show me your work (maybe put in the Members Restorations forum)? and if you're going to fire at Warmon and GYC have some comparable work that you've done in a cumulative fashion -- not just a nut and bolt that you are impressed with the sheen of in your valiant efforts to 'restore'. I don't claim to be the best except in Media Blasting. I never claimed to be an expert welder, only that I went to the school and graduated and put into practice those skills since 1987 vs the many self-taught welders out there that are really clueless and producing dangerous product that will not withstand the test of time. And my floors, qtrs., etc that are welded in/on are all metal finished, meaning when it leaves my place, I have no body fillers on it to 'hide' poor work, but the respective body shop/painter the customer takes their work to has less work to do in their lane because I did my work in my lane so well.
Here are some pics Worman posted of the cars they've bought.
