"What in the world is the matter with you guys, anyway?"
I have problems with people that swap vin plates. Its my opion/my problem and I still did compliment on the resto.
"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."
Never questioned any of this. Bryan has to answer this
"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."
You do understand under todays lack of ethic, you may be restoring a vin swapped car? How does that make you feel that you cannot accurately trace your cars history? Honestly to me these days a GTO is just as valuable as a lemans because of this.
"In fact, I'm learning a great deal from his pics and posts."
Please elaborate because all I am seeing are painted parts put back together nothing technical. I am also seeing excellent work and progress excellent for motivation.
"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."
The only things I have had to comment on are the vin and claiming to take credit for the work only after I used POSITIVE comments on how nice the resto looks. The GREAT THING about America is we have the 1st amendment and you are definitely not going to take that from me nor do I care if you don't like what I am writing in this thread. If you don't like it, you can respect it or just use your own advice and ...close your browser
"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"
Bryan does not have very good computer/personal communication skills like most of us here. Just because he is 18 doesn't mean a thing. Us younger generation is the future. No need to start name calling because it is not necessary. You say he has a mouth on him..just look at yourself. Also since you are considering offering them, if you ever want to invite me to an old-fashion ass-whippin' just let me know. I am passed the 18 y/o excuse you used and I am really curious to know if your mouth writes checks your A$$ can't cash.
Andre,
I hope you get those wheels. They will look good on the car!
Merry Christmas all!!
