Tell Dad to get with the program. You are never too old for toys. I bet he is younger than me. (50)

Quick6,
The plan for his is a 350 330hp. We will be keeping the TBI set up (with mods). It currently is stock LO3. with 3" edelbrock cat back exhaust . It has a killer sound system and X box set up. The whole back seat is filled with sub woofers.

Yea hes alittle younger (48). He has nothing against thirdgens its just that he is really old school and loves the first and early second gens and has a 396 he wants to put into one one day, even though he knows a good body will cost like 15g's. I keep telling him that a 3rd gen is the way to go but he wont budge!!

I understand how he feels. I have had a 69 camaro, 69 firebird and a 81 z28 in the past. Give him a little saddle time in your car. Then tell him a big block will fit in it

My dad is currently driving a 02' Grand Prix GT with the 3800 series 2 V6. It's no third gen but it could teach my RS a thing or two about MPG. I'm trying to talk him into a local B4C 4th gen in really good condition. it's got low miles and a low price so I might be able to pull this one off.

The Maryland show was small, But you were a great bunch of people. If he holds it again we will come down there. We really enjoyed the day. Yes Thomas's car was teal last year.

Thomas and I have had some good Father and Son quality time with the cars.

Image removed- For the same reason I removed it last time. Please check the rules, thanks.

I have had it for about 9 years. It had no stripes when I got it. This is the second paint job I have had done. Last time it was black stripes. You can see it at Hawks website under project cars.

metallicamaro,

I cant belive you removed my photos again! This is an appearance board the three photo rule is silly. It also is not enforced at many boards on this website. I have been a member for many years and I don't waste server space with useless posts.(check my post count) There is a reason for every post I make! This post was to try to build a little togetherness between fathers and sons. I know that you are young and I am trying not to get angry with you. The best way to get these cars restored is for young and old to work together. You need to think for a minute before you edit. I will await your reply before I deside if I will remove myself from membership at this site.

Please don't let me intrude between you and the admin, but I just wanted to recommend you a site. I use it all the time and it is great.

Photobucket

This is a site where you upload photos to an online photo album just for you. It then gives you exact code that lets you put them into forum boards like this one. All you have to do is Copy and Paste some code.

Ex:

[IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y149/youralbumname/yourpicture.jpg[ /IMG]

I tell you this because if you use this method, you can post as many pictures as you want on here because its not using there space! Hopefully I don't **** you off. Just a friendly suggestion!

Doc

Those people arent attaching pictures they are linked pictures from a web site on the internet, that is the reason he is doing what hes doing. Its all part of the rules here, we all follow it. Dont take it personally as we are all here to get along with each other. Hes just doing his job as a moderator, that is all. Im sure he prolly hates the 3 attachment rule also but we have to go by it.

Nice cars btw, im sure someone would be more then happy to upload them for you.

My dad drives a '68 mustang...and interestingly enough we dont get along at all anymore. All i here are "get these car parts out of my house" Yup...i grew up liking cars with him and we used to go to so many car shows...but times have changed. I like to work on cars he just likes to look at them...

Also im 19 and live at the house still...he dont want me no more

The rule isn't about three pictures, its about three attached pictures. If they are hosted elsewhere, then you can post as many as you wish. But we would have people posting and uploading 20+ pictures. It is nothing personal against you. I am not accusing you of making pointless posts (believe me, I've seen plenty of those). I don't see what my age has to do with anything here. I do think before I edit. If people would read the rules before they post, it would be easier.

And as for me not liking the rule, I actually came up with it . Why? Because I'm a jerk. People still upload the same pictures over and over again in thread after thread.

And for reference, a PM would be a better way to discuss matters like this. Thanks.
