What do you contribute to the TECH PAGES. NOTHING So tell me who this car belonged to.

I'm the guy that this forum was meant to assist, but I guess you wouldn't get that either. I'm the new guy who needed to ASK questions about my FORD. I noticed you took you little post off the forum before I could see it (you seem to do that a lot, why is that?)

I don't have a problem with people more knowledgeable than myself.
I don't have a problem with people who have more money, tools, cars, experience, a bigger dick, whatever...

I DO have a problem with someone who acts like a pompous shaging ass hole because they are pen 15y, or have "done it all"....big whoop.

I've got friends that own Porsches and Vettes, and yes, even a Ferrari. They're all pretty humble folks, and something else, they can change their own oil, and don't feel the need to make a post on some other manufacturer's forum and post this or that about which way there ed brake rotors go.

Also, the subject in question deletes his own posts after getting called out (like a whiny little ass) and threatens to leave occasionally. Need someone to help you hold the door?

It might even be said that you are quick to "brag" about doing this or that (in regards to a Fox Tbird, for example) but when someone asked you a simple question on fabbing some parts (in this case, a bracket to mount a rear disc brake caliper) you ignored that question, and continued post-whoring and shoving chevrolet shiznit down our throats that I said forget it, and I did. I now have a setup that's reliable, works, and I did it myself, with a little help from Clayton and the folks who compiled the rear end chart and put that info up without expecting everyone else to roll right over and kiss their ass...unlike you.

I don't give a if I'm out of line or not, but I think I'm not the only one who feels this way. This place was better off when we didn't have someone posting about LS this...LS that...and causing a f*ckin' argument everytime he posted.

See ya.
Maybe.

This whole rotor thing has been a good lesson, it actually plays into heat gains in areas that break down braking parts. I know that my rotors i buy today will eventually warp and give me that shaky feeling up in the steering. when that happens i will verify the warp with a magnetic dial indicator and then replace the caliper hoses (got a log story about how they break down inside along the rubber to metal crimp) and replace the rotors & bearings but also inspect the spindal.
i have only successfully worn out one spindal in my cougar career. I suspect its due to my neglet for improper final tightening... a lot of people dont know on our cars you have to come back and fine tune after you run down the road a couple miles to take up any slack.

Chuck is keeping forum and car related which i cant argue with having thought about it. We do have a site about specific cars and keeping that heritage isolated and clearly identified, a line has to be drawn somewhere. another catagory like "other car stuff" in the tech section might one day be an option.. but this istn cars.com.

here is whats gonna happen Tom and you wont be able to stop it, you just simply are not capable of preventing it. Your gonna wake up one day and all the superficial garbage is going to disappear. your not going to exhaust yourself with posting things that deviate from your topic regardless of previous posts, your gonna stay on point and let the thread stay on target for the sake of the threads content and your seriousness for wanting to make that the end objective resulting in 100% efficiency. i use to be you,, that part you dont have time to confirm but i do regret a lot of myconduct in the past on this forum. That being said, i have never demanded anyone treat me with respect for the sake of sensitivity. Some people have asked you not to bite at them while taking the time to do the opposite. See we are not all perfect but in the shop person to person ill bet we all would get along just like brothers. I wouldnt mind wrenching with anyone here and my shop would be thier shop if the opportuinty came about.
so , let the clock roll and we await that magic moment when the garbage is taken out.

I honestly don't care if he (or anyone else) posts other tech, or other projects. What I do care about is getting for moving it to an appropriate location on the forum.

I never said it doesn't have value. I said it doesn't belong in it's original post location.

Let's stop with the drama. It's like a bunch of teenage girls in here sometimes.

Well said! I do think it's a shame that this issue is always ignored to the point that someone has to get so upset that they take the initiative. Then someone has to always drop in and make excuses for him. Like I said, he's running this forum and doesn't seem to give a what anyone thinks. There is a reason he has been evicted from other forums. Chuck W. I usually get the most upset when you are arguing with him. You always have a good point, but he ignores you as well.

Thank You Chuck i appreciate that. Honestly. And i do understand what you meant.

Just for the record stacks it is FOX related. Marilyn Monroe was a FOX. This car was MARILYN MONROE'S CAR. One of the most most sought after T Birds on the planet. And 86 i do not think the owner made any excuses for me when the final results of this project. Thought you guys would like to share a piece of history with this particular FORD !!! We have been involved in other famous cars as well but they are not FORD platforms so i wont post those. I was not going to post on this but i wanted to clear up the fact that i know the difference between FOXES!!! Thank You

Now for the sharp eyed the car is 94% original that is the best we could do!!

That's a slick 'ole Thunderbird.

Hey Tom...Marilyn Monroe spent part of life as a kid in the little ole town that I live just north of. Her grandfather lived here, way way back when. Of course the house is long gone, but I can show you exactly where it was. My grandmother told me a lot of history about the people that once lived here. Of course, a pretty well known WW1 general spent his youth here too. You may have heard of John Pershing. AKA Blackjack.

When this car came in i had actually thought JR was messing with me. But we had the ORIGINAL TITLE. Naturally the new owner has it now. A lot of history in this car. I personally do not know where she lived. I was to young. And back then i did not care. But that is cool that she lived close to you. Rumor has it that she was very down to earth. JOE DEMAGIO. was one of her husbands and from what my dad told me he used to put flowers on her grave every day. Weather this is true i really do not know. Well i posted it so you guys could see it. It drives perfectly. It now has a 312 the original 292 was beefed up to a 312. I figured what the HECK!!! Thanks Tom
