So, do you think they had Swervins permission?

Came across this today. Wonder if Mike knows about it. Might have to give him a call. Regardless, I miss the truck, Mike...and his usual good advice here on the board.

I'll bet they didn't. Much the same way that Phoenix Graphix didn't have mine...

I would, but try to find an email address anywhere on their site. If you call them, the order people don't know anything about who might have had anything to do with the website (or at least that was their story).

My site is down. It wasn't getting any traffic and I didn't have the time to maintain it and make it better. I let it go.

Re: So, do you think they had Swervins permission?

Mike was the owner and operator of 73-87.com. He turned the reins over to me, as it was taking up too much of his time and felt it could use a breath of fresh air. He also owned the sweet '85 in the link I posted above, but has since parted it out and he has left for personal reasons. Mike is a great guy, and always had good advice to offer to anyone who would listen. We still talk every now and then, and he is doing well.

I bet they didn't.
And that sure is a crap ass site. I know I wouldn't want to be associated with it.

Most of the sites like that just google and find a picture they like.
