I have been on the receiving end of a project gone bad, check out "Project Death Trap" . That being said yes I have had my cheeks chapped here on the "Bolt" for doing a Hot Rod Truck and not sticking with the traditional 6. I'm not thin skinned(thank you David of stating that) but have questioned why I stayed with posting here on more than one occasion. I stayed because I liked the fellowship and enjoyed following other projects. I feel that I have made some friends and I hope no enemies here.

It's true that the Hipo forum is set aside as the place that we who would change our Trucks and choose to go in different directions can express those ideas. Often those ideas are met with some push back, I read the responses and try to take in what is being said, at the end of the day it is as we say "MY Truck" . I have a picture in my head of what the end goal is and how I want the truck to be, my plan has changed and adapted on more than one instance largely due to something I have read or seen here on the "BOLT". We are all here because of a common interests in old trucks, I can appreciate the work and attention to detail a purist puts into the project just as I can the guy who builds a Rat Rod.

If we have common ground with the truck than don't we all speak the same language? David I too am sorry that you feel that way.
