Re: A Shout Out for CG
Let me first say, before commenting on CG's further generousity, that Ironhorse is another great member here who has the sense of brotherhood/sisterhood (Hi Liz... and the rest) and the overall sense of community this place offers, if willing to join in. He has worked with me on purchases, never ruffled feathers, has good breath, and presently is sending a part for my pre-inspection because we agree pictures don't always tell the whole story. And this came about by him remembering I had a desire for such a part and first PMed me before listing it. Thank you for being a truly good real person member.
I gave that exact same Danbury '57 convertible to a friend and truck board member Liftmeup because he has unselfishly given me help when needed and had a '57 Chevy convertible he had forever. He did finally sell it to a man who had religiously stopped by year after year making offers on it. Reason being he had just had a shop built and the money was enough to pay it off... and then some. Thanks for starting this thread on CG being a more than great person/member with generosity that is unrivaled. I've been meaning to do the same thing. I could tell you about all the PMs between us about his general concerns over the state of the board over the years. I could tell you about him sending a bunch of Vintage Truck magazines because he knew I'd enjoy them (they were old getting tossed out anyway ), I could tell you about the two t-shirts he picked up for me at Bonneville Speed Week (Probably bought for himself but didn't fit ), but what is really amazing is he has had this '68 GMC grille he has been saying I can have for a few years (all talk up till now ) that he actually did send me free of charge!!! Yes really! It's a real nice one if anyone wants to PM me about buyi...... just kidding. I will never sell this. I'll build a truck around it before doing that. I want to return the favor in any way that would help you, Mark. What I'd really like to do is come out there and shake your hand and hopefully enjoy some fun time together (got a place a feller could crash a month or two-three? ). Seriously, maybe come turn wrenches a bit, work on your house, make all your decisions about your hoard for you , anything. Thank you Buddy!
