What in the world is the matter with you guys, anyway? If any of you have spent any time talking with Andre you will find that he indeed knows how to turn a wrench and is a wealth of knowledge about our hobby. I, for one, am currently involved in a frame-off on a 64 convertible and so far I have removed every nut and bolt myself. Does that mean I begrudge Andre for the path he has chosen on his 66? Heck no. In fact, I'm learning a great deal from his pics and posts.

The great thing about these cars is we can each choose to do what we want to do to our cars, however we want to or can afford to do. It doesn't make a hill of beans if one guy wants to do it all himself, if one guy wants to farm out the work, or if another guy wants to restore, customize, clone, hot rod, or whatever else he wants to do with his car. If you don't like it, then shake your head, close your browser and keep your superior thoughts to yourself. Or better yet, use POSITIVE comments about what you are doing to convince others that yours is the route to go, instead of using negative comments to try to tear down what others are doing.

My first inclination was to invite this punk out for an old-fashioned ass-whippiin' but then I remembered (vaguely) what it was like when I was an 18 year old know-it-all...the lessons in life came harder and harder the more arrogant I was. Then one day it dawned on me what an absolute jerk I had been and how absolutely ashamed and embarrassed I was by my past behavior. Bryan will come around eventually....and he too will be embarrassed by his youthful lack of tact and discretion. I just hope he doesn't lose too many teeth in the interim.

Now let's all take a collective deep breath and drop this aspect of this thread. Andre, please ignore all of this and get back to posting your excellent, informative and helpful pics. And Merry Christmas to you all!
