Hell you don't have to go to CF, you can get plenty of that right here with the right people.

Also too much bullshit chasing urban legends, like the 67 SB's with BB hoods. A lot of the time I think they're doing more harm than good with their "expert" advice.

there is no right or wrong approach, you do what you like and what you have time for and what you can afford.

had a dent and paint chip missing on my truck fender this past winter - it got spot painted in about 10 minutes. enough to cover the bare metal. a real 'car guy' would have banged it out and added bondo and made it perfect....guess i'm not a real car guy.
OH BULLSHIT, any guy with your woodworking talent can do cars EASY.....

just a matter of interest.....

trick is, I have almost zero money these daze, for business stupid reasons,....but manage to drag out the car hobby from junkyards and some ideas....

concepts man, concepts, and don't tell me you don't have them....

oh, i have ideas, lots of them, just a matter of what i want to do. right now, it's making sawdust, creating things out of wood that have beauty and utility.

God gave us hands to hold and create, and brains to tell right from wrong, and to make a difference. i'm trying.....i'm trying.....

Until very recently, if I wanted to "play" I came here. If I needed serious help with the car, I went "there". It has changed though. My transmission post here got more response than it did over there. It was actually a pleasant surprise. Over there a guy got over a hundred responses to a post about his girlfriend putting her feet on the dash,and my issue got two replies.

I am not upset about it. I just needed feedback. I don't really care where it comes from. It is nicer to "one stop shop" on one site.

same reason Datawiz couldn't fit into the C3 at the track day during BR1: too much leg.
Poor DAB was able to get into the passenger seat of my C4, but he couldn't move at all once he was in there.
