I know how having your car trashed can be. I'm sure you all know the jokes about the crossfire motor in 82 CE's. I feel the same as all the rest here, I hope that you find this forum more pleasing and the people friendly. Welcome and have a good time here! Oh, and by the way, I dig Maco's and other customs too. That nose does look a little bit on the hard side to judge where it is. I think it would take a while to get used to like anything though.

Thanks for the great vibes everyone! Some fine looking Vettes you got there!

That's a great idea about putting the backup sensor on the front too. I have one of those on the back of my pickup and it works great. It is tuff judging the front on my Mako and it's just as tuff backing up with limited visibility. Ah, the price we pay for being cool.

|QUOTE|Tyla said: I just left yet another forum because they enjoy trashing custom cars, vettes in this case,
When I joined it I was told it was not allowed, I guess their rules changed.

Anyway, I want to find out while this forum is just getting started will that be allowed here?

Tyla,

As the owner of this site, let me just put your mind at ease...flamming & trashing are not tolerated here, period.

Myself and my many moderators are always on the lookout for posts that don't belong here. If those types of posts are found, they are immediately deleted, and the author is warned not to do it again. If they repeat it, their account is removed.

Thanks for your concern, and be sure you'll have a great time on C3VR!!

Hey Debbie. What's this Bonk Bonk on the head stuff? We enforce this in this manner

Tyla, very sorry to hear about your experience. I can assure you, that I as well as the other moderators here will not tolerate trashing...objective opinions yes, I must say, i am not sure what site you were at, but i noticed down the string, there was a referral to the SuperCar Registry, and for those who have a bad taste with that site, i am very sorry, but i am affiliated with that site also... and am yet to have any probs simply because i own a BALDWIN-MOTION Maco Shark... the only true issue with their site, is that they ARE geared more towards the Yenkos and such, so, i apologize if it was that site giving you flack... i will talk to mr. clary, and see if he would place a note on the board asking them to be more tolerant of us :) keep in touch, i would love to get some pics of your car up on the LS5Corvette.com site :) to all that have read this post, happy cruzing....bigblock72, the other Maco owner :)

Yeah, what Adam said...!!! C3VR is a great place to enjoy being with folks who LOVE their Corvettes and respect others opinions. Check out this thread for the "Restoration vs. Modification" discussion (http://www.c3vr.com/c3vforums/message_go.asp?MID=446). I updated it so the picture I posted of some modified body panels from a 1982 Ecklers catalog would show up again.

Welcome aboard...!!!

I really don't want to post the forum name I left, afterall it's only partly the forum itself fault,
And members here may go there and have better luck than I did.
It wasn't the one named here it was a forum just for vettes.

I understand people have opinions but what I meant by trashing was more negative to me. opinion is saying something like: , "The back window or the nose of the maco clip is too big/pointed for me"
Trashing is: " Damn that maco kit is the most buttfugly thing I have ever seen to ruin a vette"

Hippy, I will look around on here , do you have a pic up of your maco?
It's been raining here and very muggy out I don't like to lay 'glass in such weather and have been moving slowly trying to get the fit of the cowl/rocker pieces better on mine, the drivers side will take a lot of work to get it lined up good.
Cheers, all
BTW, I have a vette friend with the cross fire on his 84, he would'nt trade it for the world.

Well I was trying to be NICE but since you brought it up...THAT is even a BETTER idea!!!!

Hi All,
Just Want to clarify that in my previous post I said “The SuperSnob Registry” as a way of kidding about any snobby type sites. It was NOT aimed at The Super Car Registry site (of which I am a member, and have received positive help from members) it just sounded close. The site I did not care for will remain unnamed. It was purely a spur of the moment, off the top of my head, name for a hypothetical club people can join to bash others cars (maybe I will start one, it would be like the Jerry Springer for cars forum, could be fun)....
Sorry if I ruffled any feathers.

Thanks!
