It finally came back thank goodness as we have a lot of people order time sensitive things (overnight etc) and now we can ship the stuff. So it all works

slidebite posted:reporters.txt I don't know if any of you guys remember, but seven years ago I posted a thread about a little body shop that did vintage Porsches and Alfas and such, and a local online euro magazine asked if they could re-print it. Dude loving re-wrote the whole thing, adding a car that wasn't even at the shop that day, making the article about that car, adding typos and poo poo grammar, chopping off entire halves of paragraphs and generally butchering the article. And he didn't use most of my photos so the text I wrote was completely out of context describing cars you couldn't see. I spent a few hours writing it, and then a few more re-editing to convert from the casual presentation of a forum to an actual article, and the way he hosed it up made me look like I have a third grade education. Of course he left my name on it.

Verizon customer support sucks a butt, but at least their services work. I'm gonna get a pool going to see I'm guestimating they might do it sometime in April, but I've only had service for like a couple weeks so it very well could be in August.

This is like the equivalent of Hollywood optioning a popular book and then changing everything to make the movie. Why the hell would you even do that? If you were going to change everything, just do it yourself. Especially sucks that he left your name on the thing. I'd probably bitch until he took my name off of it. At least they asked before just stealing the content, I guess.

Remember that time that one guy with the classic Buick agreed to have it be used in the Crystal Skull and they rolled it? Yeah I don't know why he agreed to it either but people do silly things. Maybe he got paid a lot of money.

LobsterboyX/Tome of Antiquities thread , who is a super nice dude (I have met him and bumped into him around town) and from what I remember he basically got lied to about that one because film studios filming in Los Angeles are the most entitled scumbag entities on earth. Speaking of which Lobster (if you come across this post) the shop you recommended to me was great and my folks decided to keep the '46 Woodie for awhile so I'll try to post some pics in your thread.

Right but like, Los Angeles and Hollywood, yeah? 'Lies' are just statements that people who don't sign contracts take as facts said by scumbags  I fully believe he is a super nice dude IRL which is probably why he got taken for a right.

Well, they literally bought the car from him; it was their property to do with as they pleased. It's just that they had verbally promised to treat the car well and sell it back to him after the film, no worse for wear. Then they rolled it, and didn't even put the rollover in the film (IIRC; I have avoided ever seeing the crystal skull for this and other reason). I guess they just did that for their own amusement.

Promises are cheap especially if you know you'll never see or interact with the person you make the promise to ever again. I'd imagine that if you were in the 'making movies' profession and you had to shoot a scene with props you wouldn't think twice about rolling some old car. When I work on my cars I don't think about using shop towels or oil or my tools, I've got to imagine making a movie you'd treat props much the same way. I didn't mean for this to become a 'beat up LobsterboyX' thing, it's just like, what did he expect to happen? It's Hollywood, you know?

That's how I see the film industry, but that's also largely informed by hearing about the lovely things they did to him. Before, I might not have thought about it the same way.

Speaking of which, remind me to be weary of sechuan peppercorns. I pooped 3 times today and not a single one was solid. On the other hand I think I'm cured from the beer farts that half gallon of Oskar Blues Ten Fidy gave me.

I saw Marshall last night, someone wrangled an advance showing for my company. It was really loving good, and I can see some awards heading that way. It's not a biopic, it's a tense courtroom drama with quite a few actual good laughs. Well acted, well directed, great script. Also, Cousin Matthew from Downton Abbey was in it.

They've done it plenty of times before, the E-type that gets smashed into the woods in the ropey film reboot of The Avengers was a real, restored one they bought off an enthusiast. Smashing up stuff that's already pretty beaten up and on the way out is one thing, as is when it's in that period where they're just old tat and not classics, but doing it with reasonable condition classics is like kicking puppies.

First attempt was two person which didn't work for poo poo, second was vacuum bleeder but that didn't work much better. Probably going pressure bleed next, not sure if I'll go from top (master) or from the calipers.

Pretty much everyone else here has always had a fairly sympathetic take on it. That's why I like the guy who does the F&F cars. He finds crappy examples to chop up when he can, particularly the Chargers. Cop Porn Popper posted:Do we have anyone who knows if a sbc 383 stroker crank can be put in a olds 350? That's kind of like asking if an Chrysler 318 crank will fit in a small-block Ford. Just get and Olds 403 to start with. Or a 455 if you can fit the taller, wider engine. Oddly enough, though, SBF adjustable rockers can be used on Olds engines with the right studs and pushrods (the Olds valve train is non-adjustable, for those that don't know. Becomes a problem when you move to a non-stock cam.) In fact, the Comp Cams kit is exactly that. Which reminds me that I need to install mine after I make the transmission shift again. bolind posted:I have two pounds of ground venison in my freezer that I should probably eat.

Oh man. Yesterday we drove over to see my dad and clean up and prep his house for when his sister comes to stay with him post surgery. Good times, his house is super cool and the PO kind of disaster prepped it. He was chatting with my fiance while I ran network cables from his office, through the basement and out to his breezeway and garage. So this morning he paypals me a huge chunk of cash so we can pay off our balance and upscale the menu a bit for the reception. I knew he was gonna help us out but man, we now only owe for our cake/cupcakes and the DJ.
