-Jeff

Jonboy · 11-17-2003, 01:45 AM

Congrats. My biggest complaint was that you had to log in every time you wanted to post something. However, I did buy my front end sheetmetal from that site. Gotta take the good with the bad,I guess.

soleeagle · 11-17-2003, 01:57 AM

Ive been there before but it dosnt get much traffic. I hope things pick up for you. I have never registerd there but I may if it starts to pick up.

Good luck with it.

Russell · 11-17-2003, 04:01 AM

Hmm... If only I could find patch panels that cheap somewhere around here...

low 84 · 11-17-2003, 04:03 AM

so do you own the buisness now as well?

87 Shortwide · 11-17-2003, 04:09 AM

Aint that crazy that I need inner fender wells and they are right there on the front page! cool shiet man

BaggedC10 · 11-17-2003, 04:41 AM

I've been visiting that website for a few years and it keeps getting better.

*1FaastC10* · 11-17-2003, 05:15 AM

heh, with the Captain in charge, i'm sure the site will pick up quite a bit.

Mike76251 · 11-17-2003, 07:42 AM

I checked out the message boards over there and found out why they seen slow.
Can't post pics.
That is the "death-nail" of a message board.

**N2TRUX** · 11-17-2003, 10:55 AM

Chris,
I'm glad you got the deal worked out. Now lest get some traffic through there. Maybe we can get Josh to shut this forum down again for a few days.....Just kidding guys, put the rope down

Good luck with it buddy. BTW- Is Ol' crooked toe still a mod over there? :p

LOHRTBT · 11-17-2003, 11:38 AM

hehehe!! Cool Chris!
Yeah...last time I checked I was....the board is just too slow and outdated so not many people post...not hard to mod it!! lol

**Captkaos** · 11-17-2003, 04:19 PM

Yes, I am the sole owner. Dave is still a mod there. I don't visit it that often, but I will now. If you don't mind, give me feedback, but lets put it on my forum to keep the confusion down here.

Mike76251
The board allows picture posting, it just doesn't have the capability to upload pics.

Tom · 11-17-2003, 05:42 PM

cool....I always stop in and post there, havent much in the last couple of months with v6performance.net taking so much of my time though.....

**N2TRUX** · 11-17-2003, 07:05 PM

Yeah it's pretty slow for now. We should all go over there and get really rowdy. Don't worry about getting banned, we know the Admin, and moderator....:p

Ron Storberg · 11-17-2003, 07:33 PM

First of all congrats. I checked out the site and bookmarked it. I am sure that I will be doing business as I have just started a frame off on a 77 GMC Stepside that is pretty much a basket case. I am glad to find this forum and the various link information as the post 72 market seems to be the redheaded stepchild of the truck restoration business. Finding quality parts is like.

Well you get the idea. Supply and demand I guess. Best of luck.

**swervin ervin** · 11-17-2003, 08:39 PM

Do what?? Well, I appreciate you leaving me out in the cold.

This is cool though. I'm guessing you bought it for the parts business, right?

Hey, I don't sell anything on my site, but I'll sell it if anyone wants it.

bagged81 · 11-17-2003, 08:40 PM

Wow, congrats.

C&C Chevy · 11-17-2003, 09:56 PM

Congrats, Chris. I haven't been over there in a long while. I'll be sure to check it out.

**Captkaos** · 11-17-2003, 10:31 PM

Thanks guys. If you need 73-87 parts, come see me.

Swervin,
Sorry about that. I mainly got it because Matt was just going to let it go away, and I originally wanted the URL and he got it before me, so we worked out a deal.

87 STEPPER · 11-17-2003, 10:58 PM

Chris,

Congrat's iv'e been reg. there for a while and like everyone has allready said it's just too slow there but now that may change.

I wish you the best of luck with it!

73C20 · 11-17-2003, 11:03 PM

Hey Guys,

I just had to jump in here and wish Chris good luck. Everything you have read is true. Chris and I have been working on this since near the end of August/begining of September. I really enjoyed owning 73-87ChevyTrucks.com from the beginning in April of 2000. Building the business end of it was really cool also. It was getting to a point where I really needed to push it to the next level, shut it down, or sell it. Through divine intervention I emailed Chris just to say, "How's it going", mentioned the site, and before I knew it we were in serious discussions. It has all worked out really well. Chris is a great guy (as you guys know), and I'm sure the next phase of the 73-87ChevyTrucks.com legacy will be better than the first.

Swervin, not trying to leave you out in the cold. I wasn't saying anything, but Chris could tell anyone that he wanted. And no, my truck (Project 73 from the site) is not any closer to ever being finished than Chris's! (I just had to throw that in!) I guess now that I am registered here I'll have to start posting on here as well as 73-87ChevyTrucks.com. Good luck Chris.

Matt
Former Owner 73-87ChevyTrucks.com

87 STEPPER · 11-17-2003, 11:24 PM

Hey matt,

Congrat's on the sale to chris and welcome to the board!

Now you should have plenty of time to finish that truck of your's.

You just HAD to say that didn't you

So much for my nutshell, readers digest version. I think you covered the whole thing. Thanks a lot for the good words Matt. You are a great guy and friend and I hope just because you don't have the website you aren't going to leave. I am pretty sure we are going to be continually communicating. And I want updates on the truck!
