It seems more and more guys are posting their projects with detail lists. Some showing all kinds of pics. Yet who are they? Where are they from? Do they even reply to any other threads? Are they giving input or helping others? Why aren't they?

Is it show boating only? What gives guys? :mad:

i know... ill chip in more in the future...

but since this thread is going i might as well share alittle, im 32, from denmark.. im a mechanical engineer, self-educated gearhead and back in university studying medicine on my fourth year!..

my cars (that all except a 500 dollar beater are immobile) include a 65 mustang coupe restomod that is 98% complete.. 5.0/t-5 power btw. a 66 impala SS i brought home from minnesota where i did my engineering internship. a 32 ford roadster powered by a 454 (hence my name) its full independent suspended, jag/tci rear and front.. and an 80 malibu, see sig for details.. and i got it after (and as a result of) learning of this site.. just had to have a PT car, and g-bodys are rare over here.. so being in europe i guess i am one o fthe few here who can say " imports rule" and not get flamed.. :thumbsup:

He's referring to people like me. I just showed up out of the blue and started posting things.

I'll elaborate on myself a bit.

Name's Travis, I live in Alaska, and have a 1968 Barracuda I've been working on. I started posting project things over at Pro-touring.com and found these forums as well. I like both, and enjoy all of the projects both are doing. However, not everyone visits both sights so I figured since people enjoy looking at project posts I would post up here too.

I try to read all the sections of the forums that I can, but honestly I don't know jack about Chevy's , fords, or the like. I've only really been into mopars when it comes to muscle cars. I can't help a whole lot with the questions regarding those cars. Also, I don't have a whole lot of time to answer questions, let alone browse more forums.

Me personally, I have alot going on night and day and can barely find the time to post up my own project pictures. I make it a point to do so now and then, however, for my benefit of a project log, as well as others to learn from and enjoy.

No, I'm not offended by the post you made at all, nor upset in any way. Just thought I would chime in and give you my opinion/side of things.

Hope I can help more in the future with things as I learn! :cool:

Guys I'm a novice myself. Don't be afraid to ask questions or make comments.

Like you guys I also have learned from this board. If you want a hint as to where I'm coming from, check out the last couple new introductions. Anybody can list specs, show pics of your project, are they contributing to the forum or are they on an ego trip? See what I mean?

I am gonna try to look at this from a different perspective...

I don't really care if people only post their new projects/intro with tons of details and pics. To me, THAT IS actually contributing and adding value to this forum. It can provide new ideas, inspiration, and a different way to approach some part of a project. Is that so bad?

Is there an unwritten rule that people must post often and reply to many threads? I don't have hundreds or thousands of posts either, but I didn't know it was a requirement. What's wrong with people lurking and trying to learn? Not everyone may feel comfortable chiming in on all sorts of topics, for various reasons.

I just don't get it I guess. I mean, I do hear what you are saying in a way, but I think everyone should cut everyone some slack here for posting their new projects. I really like reading/seeing them, whether it is ego driven or not.

Isn't this a forum where people can go to post their project details/pics?

Okay, enough rambling for now from me.... just my perspective on this.

Well my name is Richie Hester. I'm 20 and live in Palmdale, Ca. I joined this forum because I love older cars. I don't post because I do not have very much mechanical knowledge. I can do oil changes and brake jobs and swap stuff that was already on the car like alternators, starters, a/c compressors, stuff like that. My dad is a mechanic so I never do anything important unsupervised and if I can't do something, I'll watch him do it or he will tell me what to do and watch me do it. I only work on my own car, btw. I drive an 1987 Chevrolet Sprint Turbo, kind of the opposite car for this forum :_paranoid . I just started working and I plan on getting a '68 Camaro and dropping an LS motor in it, my dad has lots of experience doing this. I know he's not going to do all that work for free, now that I have a job, so I'll probably end up giving him the money to stroke his LT1 in his El Camino or paint it, which ever he wants. So basically I'm here to learn and drool over your guys cars :hail:

I'm with onebad68. I'm pretty new to this game and am working on my first restoration while I go to school. I don't have any engineering background or anything like that. I just know the right end of a screwdriver to use and that I want to learn as much as a bunch of you already know. I try to contribute when I can, but I really try to soak up all the info and ideas presented here. I have a lot of passion for this way of life and I'll bring that to the table more often.

By the way, my name's Ryan and my project is a 69 Charger R/T p/t car. I'll be putting in some subframe connectors real soon and buttoning up the engine right quick. Budget is a little tight since I'm working up to Chiropractic College in Sept or Jan, but I'm loving it all.

Thanks to all of you for posting pics and ideas. It's huge motivation for me. And the tech posts are dynamite. You all can look forward to some more input from me.

My name is Brian Miller, I am 21 years old and have been into cars since i can remember. I really fot into muscle cars when I was about 15 when I bought me Nova. I really wanted a 69' camaro (of course) at the time, but wouldnt trade my Nova for anything now. I put every penny I made during and after high school into it and pretty much ate slept and breathed the thing since I got it. I am a gradutate of UTI (i know a lot of people look down on it because kids come out and think they know it all, but I thought it was a good shcool), and am in the Air Force Reserve where I fuel aircraft. Anyways, I have a younger brother who also got into muscle cars, I think partly because of me and now owns a beautiful Nova that my dad , my brother and I built together. I also now own a 1968 Camaro (future project) and my dad bought himself a 1969 Chevell project. Up ultil I got my nova none of us were really into this stuff in a hands on sort of way, but now we are in it up to our ears and love it! I love this stuff and this site has been extremely helpful and I will try to contribute more in the future where I can.

thanks, Brian

I think I am also one of these guys he's talking about,My name is Darryl Clements and I am from Mantorville MN,just outside Rochester.I am more of a lurker here for the simple reason that I am not working too hard on my car right now(40-60hr work weeks plus going to school fulltime takes up alot of my free time), so I read up on everything I can so when I get elbows deep in this project I will be asking about more things as I need help.I am not that mechanical knowledgeable, my strength is more on the body and paint side.

i havent been a member here for very long, maybe a couple weeks. i hope i dont regret saying this, but ive been an import guy for a very,very long time. ive had a thing for cars since i can remember and it never mattered what kind of cars they were. i guess i realized the error of my ways with the imports and have come the the good side of the force. i wont make excuses for myself and state why i dont have a high number of posts. it seems that the majority of the people on this site have camaros,firebirds,t/a's and the like. i have a '55 chevy, its kind of a driver project, well in that i mean that it will drive around, everyone's opinion of driver is different. i suppose i should learn some about the cars that you guys have so that i can assist in the problems, questions that you have. by the way, if there is anyone on here that reads this and has a tri-5, or know about someone on here with one, get ahold of me. as for the guys one here that have the kno how and experience, my hats off to you, i like it here and i think ill be here for a while. with that said GO:lateral:

My name is Keith and I live in Mankato, MN for now. I am a Primavera project Scheduler for a large Ethanol producer. My car is alot newer than most everyone here, but I love the older stuff.
I am here to just and try and soak up some knowledge on rebuilding the older cars, as that will probably be my next project. I am more than happy to try and help on any LSx questions anyone has, as I have been researching everything I can for the last 2 years and am in fact in the middle of a complete rebuild as you can see here

Hi, I am Tony.. I posted an intro of me and my 65 chevelle a yr and a half ago when I joined.

I just thought I would chime in since I don't post or reply much. I am mainly on here to gain information.. no lie, just trying to learn more. If someone posts a question and I know the answer, then I will comment... lol.. Right now, I am not confortable doing that.

I actually work at a Corvette Restoration shop here in Longview, TX. I have been there part time for about a year. My Chevelle is at there shop now waiting for transformation to begin.

I have always been big into anything automotive related and when the "PT" movement began it totally blew my mind.. I absolutely love this revolution.

anyways.. here I am and I will hopefully be more beneficial to others in the future...lol

my name is Jeff. i found this site from PT.com i am in a little town just north of Orlando called Ocala. we used to be famous for raising horses here, but i think thats changed to raising retirees:rolleyes:

I am currently working on a 69 camaro...yeah yeah, i know another one...anyway, i bought it as a driver, and when i decided to redo it, it was/still is a lot more work than anticipated. my project's name is "Patches". that should give somewhat of an idea as to what i am up against. when we started the body work, we thought it would be just a little body work and paint. boy was i wrong. the front fenders were actually 3 pieces from 3 different fenders pieced together and covered with about an inch of bondo. no prob, i figured i'd buy new fenders anyway since i was changing from standard to an RS. easy enough right...next we moved to the doors. they were'nt that bad, but they are far from great. then we moved to the rear of the car. when we started working on the quarters, we found more bondo...didn't think anything at the time, but as work progressed, we found out that some idiot had put a quarter skin over the existing panel with rivets and covered it with bondo. it wasn't even welded on! anyway, it has been one thing after another on this one. the outer wheelhouses and trunk drop offs had to be replaced to. i was hoping to just do a little paint and body, and ended up almost having all new panels on the car. well, atleast its a bit lighter now.

my other project is a 53 belair. its on hold until the camaro gets finished. anyway, sorry if i bored you with my story, but now you know why my car is named Patches. i'll try to throw some pics up later.

Hi Roger! How was the show for you? Your car looked amazing and it was so nice to meet you and your wife! Will you be going to SEMA?

John

No, not unless I'm someones guest or a company wants to sponsor the car. I do come cheap since the GTO is already finished.

The show was an experience. Too much going on and not enough time to take it all in. I think it's best to visit these shows as a spectator. If you bring a car you are stuck staying by the car making sure someone does not bang into it. Even with me at the car my passenger outside mirror got rattled twice by some females with their strollers. Between the ladies with their kids and the old people running around with electric carts it was like a zoo.

I like to sit back go get something to eat and check out the scene, talk with the guys and have a drink. I'm looking forward to Muslerides.com TN event this fall. More my style.....

On the bright side many spectators thanked my wife and I for bringing the car. A lot of people relate to our GOAT because they can envision creating their own car in a similar style without spending an absorbent amount of money.
The poor mans pro-touring car if you will......

You would not believe how many muscle car people that are uneducated about what can be done to these cars to enhance the drive ability and safety. It felt good helping them and answering their questions and concerns.

Oh yeah, Linda is in love with you. A straight guy in the fashion business. If that doesn't take the cake I don't know what does..... A womans dream male!

Tell her that I enjoyed our talk together but for that matter I really enjoyed meeting you too! You've really been supportive of my dream and for that I am grateful!

I hear you on how many people are unaware of what can be done to a muscle car. When I tell people what I'm doing they say "But why don't you just by a Z06?":lol:

I can also relate to how unnerving it is to watch people walk by your car and get really close to the point that your poised to pounce to get them away from your car so that they don't scratch it!:wow: :rofl:

No, not unless I'm someones guest or a company wants to sponsor the car. I do come cheap since the GTO is already finished.

The show was an experience. Too much going on and not enough time to take it all in. I think it's best to visit these shows as a spectator. If you bring a car you are stuck staying by the car making sure someone does not bang into it. Even with me at the car my passenger outside mirror got rattled twice by some females with their strollers. Between the ladies with their kids and the old people running around with electric carts it was like a zoo.

I like to sit back go get something to eat and check out the scene, talk with the guys and have a drink. I'm looking forward to Muslerides.com TN event this fall. More my style.....

On the bright side many spectators thanked my wife and I for bringing the car. A lot of people relate to our GOAT because they can envision creating their own car in a similar style without spending an absorbent amount of money.
The poor mans pro-touring car if you will......

You would not believe how many muscle car people that are uneducated about what can be done to these cars to enhance the drive ability and safety. It felt good helping them and answering their questions and concerns.

Oh yeah, Linda is in love with you. A straight guy in the fashion business. If that doesn't take the cake I don't know what does..... A womans dream male!

I was walking behind some woman that almost took your passenger side mirror off with her left wrist. It was on Saturday, when your car was in the pros pick area.

She turned around and laughed at me about it. I wanted to call her a dumb b. Some people really shouldn't be around nice stuff.

Well I'm not really a post and forget kind of person. But I noticed I do see folks in the art form and do post and forget too. I do try to post in other ppls threads but I mostly don't have much to say other than, "It looks cool" or "I like it."

To be honest I don't build cars even though I have helped knowledgeable ppl build cars in the past. I mostly did grunt work like clean blocks and heads etc.

So I don't know much. I'm just an artist who loves "all" kinds of cars. I have owned a muscle car in the past but I don't currently own one. I just like the hobby. Some may think I try to get business for my art business but this isn't the case. I don't even have time to draw for other ppl anymore. My professional life has taken over. I hope to build a car some day.

So to some it up I just like looking at them, going to shows, races etc. So I can't help w/ technical stuff, I can draw your ride though :)

I think the ppl here are very nice too.:lateral:
