Xingu Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 Amazing, that one can't post an observation or opinion without all the 'custom and hotrod police' going ballistic and getting their jeans all twisted !! Everyone builds what they like and enjoys. I personally do nothing but factory stock. Last year I acquired a complete JoHan Olds Cutlass collection at an estate sale for a true bargain price. A lot of 442's and a couple of Hursts were in the collection but no more. Each is happily now a model year correct Cutlass Supreme or just regular Cutlass, and a few needed refinishing and are now gracing my collection in true factory Oldsmobile colors. Also had to send out some chrome for replating, but well worth it, as any Oldsmobile dealer or true Oldsmobile fan would now be proud. And no, not vein enough to post pictures, they are for my and my friends enjoyment and no one else's. Did the same with a few glue bomb Ford Cobra's and a few Torino models I acquired over the past several years. All are now happily a Fairlane 500, Torino, or a Gran Torino Brougham. To each his own....as I said beforeThis was being watched because the type of post you put up only causes trouble. You basically said that folks that don't do things the way you do are doing it wrong. You call them children for doing custom work. Folks that put out build threads are silly and their posts are a waste of space. Oh, you did throw a god bless in there to make it all better though. Now you are saying that the folks who post photos are vain. You do realize that is one of the main points of this forum, to show your work and to share tips and techniques. That is why a lot of folks join this forum. It seems you are offended by most of the things that go on here.

KWT Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 oh thanks, Dan. How could you.... I just drooled on my keyboard.
blunc Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 Oh my.... Is that a "model year correct" Olds Baja you have posted? Fascinating
MrObsessive Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 Well, then I guess I got to go and get rid of all my WIP threads over the past 11 years, because heck---------they're 'too wordy" and picture heavy! Seriously though..........I know not everyone is into my way of building, and not everyone has the patience or skill to do what I do. However, I could never go on said forum (here or somewhere else) and literally rip someone else's work to shreds because "Well, I just don't like it and it's a waste of space". How do you know the person you were referring to didn't see that?? Huh?? I'm not that big into trucks but I can sure appreciate all the work that goes into it. Not to mention there's always a hint or two that I never knew anything about that I can pick up on. Sorry..........this forum's not here to give someone else grief because an individual doesn't like it. You could always just ignore it and move on.
Xingu Posted July 8, 2017 Posted July 8, 2017 Since some are starting to feed into the negativity I will lock this down with Bill's reasonable summation as our closing thought.
