There Will Be Casualties...

I do wonder about this, also.
My hopes (and impressions) are that cars built with a traditional 'essence' will be accepted.

 

Hey Malcolm - quit that furrin stuff - 'essence' is French for gasoline...

 

Thanks Ryan! I'm 100% thrilled about the proposed changes. Since I started reading this forum, it has seemed obvious that more and more off topic content was being left to p*** over the years. Often lately I have thought if I could only be a moderator to this group myself, there would be no question that there was a new sheriff in town. So, my personal opinion is that it was something that really did need fixing. Good job.

 

You're going to force me to build that Model A hot rod sooner than I thought...

 

Your site...Your Rules....
My pleasure to be here.
Will do my best to do my part....
No problem here...

 

As you probably expected Ryan, the changes will and have already, stirred up discussion and emotions. You need to do what you feel is right, most will understand. I do.

On the other hand, when I started my build thread, the idea was to keep it traditional all the way. Now I've run into a few aesthetic and safety issues which perhaps may cross the line. (even though most are not visible from the outside). Things like radial tires, Hilborn efi on my 392 and airbags to name a few of the major ones. While trying to maintain the traditional aspect, safety and a low stance are more important to me. Personally, I would be sad to see my thread closed, even if it was only for the guys following it and the great support and knowledge I received from them.

Realizing that changes need to be made to keep the site back on track, I will respect your decision, whatever that may be.

Eric.

 

Right On! Ryan,
I was really getting tired of all the S10 and T-5 and other OT stuff.
Thanks for the great site!

 

I rarely post here, since my build is OT. Big question I see is; Why are you here? Is it to see, enjoy, discuss, help and share traditional Hot Rods? If so, this it THE place to do that. If you want to push boundaries, test moderators, and show off non relevant stuff that there are other sites for, maybe you are loggin in to the wrong URL. This here site is for the Traditional Rod, and stayin that way.
