yeah Ron Wilson was really active on a couple of forums
good guy with a good heart/people person
didn't know the most about stuff, but a good guy
he helped me thru a computer issue
& we struck up a conversation, would talk from time to time

He was active (MMM) MoPar Muscle Magazine Forum too
before it went away basically
I use to go there a lot... Daily an hr or more

Ron was a regular too...
I had found the Chargers forum, he was there too
it's a morgue essentially now, shitty ownership & hard to post photos
too many hatters & liberals, with no sense of humor etc.
I was recommended to come here by a member from over there
that use to live here down in Sonora area Dan @68X426 ,
with his red 426 Hemi RR, lives in Texas now
he's still around...

I saw Ron was here too, along with a few others
that migrated around from MMM, to DC . com (graveyard)
then to here, to the 69RR forum, the truck forum
pretty much now I spend most of my forum time here...

funny how many names I recognize from the 1st forum I joined
Mopar Muscle Magazine Forum
Jim @IQ52 (& his son Cody) was a regular over there too
I don't see him posting much here much anymore...
I think he was going to retire engine building,
spend more time hunting exploring etc.
he is a real pro, he knows his stuff & a really good guy

another guys name eludes me, been a while
I think, I'd recognize it if I saw it
IIRC he was called Rev or something
he was a regular on a few of them too

Revhendo @Revhendo. He's in Cali too. He's active over on FABO

REV!
Yes..
Hey!
Everyone....
We are not seeing much of our old timer hero "Mike Gaines" either!
A true pioneer back in the Hey Day!
Mike!
God Bless

Seems like I came in and got stuck here....

Not a bad place to get stuck sir. A lot of good people here. I’m glad you got stuck here. Take care!

 

[super-bee_ski]

Let's not forget the classic Bruzilla. RIP

Yeah, Bruzilla (Post 43)
He was always making great and authentic Creature of the Black Lagoon costumes etc
IN FACT, the actor from the original movie actually posed with Bru's Creature!
Bruce and I were both military Air Crew members..
He was NAVY and flew on the "P-3 Orions...
I was Air Force and flew on the ARIA

He passed at a young age IMO
He had health issues God Bless him

Al is ok. I talked to him just after Christmas. His computer took a **** and he is trying to fix it.

After 9 years, I'm still here to entertain the masses.

Someone asked earlier about Jimmy Bladecutter. I may have been the last one to have talked to him. When I got back from Puerto Rico at the beginning of all this b.s. we’re going thru I called him just to check up and ,are sure he was ok. We have a chat and then as he was known to do - he launched into tirade about the inside the beltway crowd. He brought up that council of “elites” that are tied to the World Economic Council - I forget the name. Anyway he essentially went completely bananas that I didn’t know much about them. I took it for awhile and the said Saya Nara. He could easily get that way and I wasn’t feeling it that night especially since I was essentially on a welfare check - let go, we parted and never spoke again.Ne told me he was scrapping his cell and Wi-Fi to save money go off the grid for awhile. So that was it - around 2/20. Nothing more after that.

I was just on the phone with Jimi/Bladecutter. I've talked to him a handful of times over the last year but it always seemed to be not a good time for him, he was occupied with something else. Today he had some time so we chatted a bit.

He said to say hi to anyone who remembers; I let him know of some people on here who've asked about him since he left.

He sounded pretty down and out, tired and depressed. He doesn't go out much except for appointments every three weeks or so for his cancer check ups and treatments. On that front, he said he's pretty much the same as before - basically staying the same. Not getting worse, not getting better either. Hasn't any interest in things that he used to do, like cars or his guitar. Not too much of a conversationalist this time either, not like previous calls.

Just a little update for ya...
