Build Threads?
Does anyone know the status on getting a 73-87 build thread section? I am wondering because I am always interested in others progress and I plan on creating my own when I start my build.

Re: Build Threads?
i did the poll and it was overwhelming that people wanted it but i have yet to hear from the powers that be here .. Ultimately it is their decision.

Re: Build Threads?
I had been wondering the same thing. I knew the poll was in favor of, but I hadn't seen anything official whether or not we get it. I sure hope we do! ...Joe

Re: Build Threads?
This is just my opinion, but I don't see that one is needed right now. While there are a few guys that are actively working on their projects, there aren't that many. I know we all can use words of encouragement to motivate us, that's why I do the "What did you get done" post each week. I feel that adding another sub-forum would only serve to dilute the traffic in the main 73-87 forum.
I am not an Admin, so I don't have an "official" say on what forums are added. If you disagree with my opinion, then please discuss it with the Admins. I know there was a poll run on the subject, but in the meantime lets get honest input here.

Re: Build Threads?
ID love to see one and the reason being that anyone can start a thread and document their progress in one place on their truck. My truck was bought in October 07 and even tho ive kinda taken a break for the winter, id still like to have one spot where i can look online to see the whole thing and document feelings , observations , photos, etc as well as get feedback from fellow enthusiasts and an occasional kick in the butt when i do something that isnt a good mod . I would also be able to follow the progress of others trucks and get ideas as others would get ideas from me as well as getting some encouragement when i get tired of my truck or feel that the hill is just too steep in this project

Re: Build Threads?
I think its a good idea. The 67-72 guys get a project/build sub-forum. We are the second most popular group of posters in these truck forums. I think this would warrant atleast a polling by moderators to possibly add a sub-forum for build threads here. Just my $.02

Re: Build Threads?
I think the projects and builds here just get lost in the other threads. It would be nice to have them all in one place and easily accessable. I don't think It'll slow down the traffic a whole lot on the main forum
