Can't PM ronnieroadster

Hey gang,
I've been a memeber on the hamb for some time, but dont post alot. Is there a minimum amount of posts I need before I can PM someone? ronnieroadster Has a dry sump pump listed for sale, but there is no option to PM him, even if i scroll over his user name. Help would greatly appreciated.
Thanks

@ronnieroadster

Might get his attention

 

I understand them trying to weed out scammers, but it alienates the people who dont post a whole lot. Hopefully it will get his attention. Either that or I make random comments until i get to 10 posts

 

Lol. Well, go ahead and reply and tell us what you need it for.

 

actually, nothing at the moment lol, but I would like to use it on a french flathead block and use it to build a 32 3 window coupe inspired by the proportions of a 1929 Ruxton. One piece at a time...

 

Dry sump to keep the hoodline nice and low

 

I have a set of repo Kong cylinder heads on order from Flatattack as well that will be used in said project

 

Just don't use that paint job Ruxton was famous for.

 

What color will the car be?

(I’ll try to get ya to ten )

 

I have a few colors in mind (I appreciate it) Black is always a classy choice, but also a very deep non metallic purple also came to mind.

 

I also picked up a set of repo woodlite headlights for the project as well

 

Sounds like a neat project .
Keep telling us stories... you’ll get to 10 soon enough.
Possibly like it here and keep posting or slink back to the shadows ! Lol

 

Thanks. I'm actually on post 15, but it still wont let me PM him. I'll just keep going lol

 

I'd like for it to have 4 wheel independent suspension, similar to alfa's and mercedes benz's of the late 1930's. I was thinking of using VW beetle suspension parts. Any other donor Ideas? I know that its usually about soild axles around here, but I want this thing to handle corners well, while still keeping it looking Pre War

 

No, They are beautiful cars, but I am not a fan of the horizontal stripes at all

 

Just sent Ronnie a PM, told him to join in this thread. You are new here so scan the rules VW and independent suspension are frowned on, use Allard stuff and you will be ok. Bob

 

Thank you Bob

 

Wow, is that an ardun in that allard? I knew they used flatheads and cadillac ohv, but never knew you could get one with an ardun. That is awesome.

 

Hey @DemonOfSpeed, when you say you are trying to "PM" him, what exactly are you doing?

Are you using the "Start Conversation" feature? Because that is the correct way to contact a seller. Hover your cursor over the seller's avatar image and click Start Conversation.

On the other hand, if you are trying to post a reply to his classified ad, that will not work, no matter how many posts you have. Nobody can post a reply to an adverstisement, except the orginal poster.

 

The only thing that presents itself when I hovered over his user name was profile page, but it must have kicked in because I can now see start a conversation. Thank you all for your help!

 

Hi Demon of Speed to send me a message if you click onto my picture you will see " start a conversation" Click on that and you will on your way.

done

 

I love it when a plan comes together and you're doing some interesting shit there demon! Most of us enjoy reading about what others are doing, and might offer some help, even learn from your posts! So get off your demonic ass and start posting! There's way more to this place than just classifieds brother

 

Thanks man, I could use all the help I can get! lol I really should be a more active member, I still have so much to learn...

 

Yes, Zora put one in his, Ronnieroadster is the guy that maintains it. Bob

 

Yep, it makes them look fat.

 

What a beautiful start to 2021......

 

DemonOfSpeed, Since you are new here check out the Auto Racing 1994-1942 thread along with the one on Cyclecars. Bob

 

That thing is killer! I love weird suspension setups like that. Swing axle and leaf springs...thats what I'm talking about. Vintage Independent suspension. Thanks for the thread recomendations.
