I am sorta a newbie here as well, and I am somewhat surprised at how quiet this board is, I am thinking many of the regulars no longer visit here.

Same problem we've always had, lot's of people just look and think, not too many communicate. Don't know how you can change that other than get more members???

It is what it is. I thought when we started this it would bring all the 65 guys together. A place where us misfits could talk shit, a gathering place for 65 guys. But it hasnt went that way. Only a handful of guys post anything. Many just log it and never say a word.

honest to shit we are all still here, i guess lurking and interjecting when it seems important. alot of times if i dont know the answer to a question a stupid reply comes out. i could reply more often with stupid answers and drunk and stoned reply's i guess,

Maybe everyone is in the garage working on their car(s). I have been busy shipping things around the country. I wish transport costs would drop a little...oh that's right, someone in the government wants gas prices to be on par with europe. In that case, I better sell some of my cars to avoid this issue in the future. At $7 per gallon we will go broke just driving these cars to the gas station. Anyone consider a resto-mod with an electric motor?? I hear the tesla motor has some get-up and go......damn, the steel frame, terribly heavy axles and sheet metal would probably kill the power. Alright, enough on this little rant. Time to search for more parts.

I think we all agree this is a great place to learn and share info on our babies and from my point of view its more about age and time. I don't spend a lot of time on the board unless I'm looking for something. I'm usually working on one thing or another (not always the 65.) I look at it as more of a tech site rather than a social site. But as soon as BRO gets the gathering together maybe we'll be able to put a face with a name. Gary

Gary, great point. I finally got the Ford Exploder out of the garage last night. Now I can sell it and send Geraldine to the media blaster / epoxy coating she deserves.

The reason I don't post more is because my knowledge is more focused towards the Olds performance side of things rather than specific to '65 factory correctness. Most posts on here are more about restoration which is great and I enjoy. I do try to chime in when I see a performance oriented topic I can add to though.

The old farts are not to interested in that stuff. (Been there and done that) that's there quote

Why cant you use the tech forum for performance posts? "Restoration and modification", right there in the title. This site doesnt get the traffic to warrant any more forums or subforums.
Ive noticed some members that have been here for years, log in all the time, and have 4-5 posts. Quiet people I guess.

I have to agree with chadman in that I don't post as much in response to a lot of the questions as I am geared more to customizing now rather than the factory correctness....not to downplay that....I really enjoy seeing these '65 cars being restored "like new" again...unfortunately, my buggy wasn't in good enough shape to put back into that kind of condition. For my two cents worth, I owned a '65 post car back when they were new, which was great, but I guess I'm looking to have something different this time around. Still enjoy the forum.

For me it goes in waves... I've got two '65 442s so this is a great site for me, but I also have the "Andy Problem". (no, not that problem) I also have two Chevys, a couple motorcycles and more recently a F :oRD, all of which need attention except the damn FORD! (Which I dont dare talk about on this forum... whooo wee!) When I get a chance to concentrate on my 442s, this is the place to be though. -grant
