Hi Mike, I drift in every so often to check the messages from Jim but it is mostly tumbleweed here. 

What are you up to? How's the Mustang project?

Hi Chris, the Mustang project is coming along. The car is in primer & I am going to try my hand painting some of the small parts first to see if I can tackle that job or if I have to send it out for paint. Not looking for a show car paint job, just something that looks nice. I have to bleed the air out of the hydraulic clutch system then get a battery & see if it will start. I tried to uplaod a pic but I keep getting an error message.

Sorry about that - something that used to work in the code has broken - I have cut out the dodgy bit and it should now work.

I have four cars that need paint and my tame paintshop man is retired so I am a bit stuck until I can clear out the garage to be able to spray them myself.

The worst one has clear coat peeling off which means sanding the affected panels back to primer coat and spraying colour and clear coats. Fortunately I have a couple of litres of the colour coat which wasa special mix with larger metallic flakes.

Lake Mead here in Las vegas has more going on for it water wise than the traffic in here.. Tumbleweeds is an understatement..

Agreed.. we can usually jump on any other Post for a response, Can't start our own posts.. its ridiculous to be frank. You cant expect people to stay and post if you cant even post anything because the site wont let you. 

It's like having an extended fuel tank, but you poked a 1" hole two inches above the bottom on the side of the tank. What you try to put in runs right back out and the tank holds nothing but bare minimum of fuel.


We can't post Ads, we cant post Articles, add to the post counts.. after you try 3-5 times and keep getting error codes from both the site and even firefox. You've already spent more time than needed for effort. No reward for your effort, no ones going to post or engage. So if you're looking at why participation is down, stop blaming FB for everything and think outside of the box. 

That is one of the things that on a personal level drives me nuts about most forums and why they're disappearing, most of the people running them cant step outside of 1999 to be different. TRS thrives because its not cookie cutter, and the guy operates within current trends, and listens to people with positive and serious input.
