If this is the last thread I start, then I have enjoyed my time here. I have noticed in the past several months that not very many posts have been put up, but these projects take a lot of time, and money. There has never been a lot of "action" on this site, but I would hate to know that the sites moderator has lost interest in this. There is a lot of very awsome builds going on here, and there is even more people that I turn on to this site all the time. They may just visit, but it's still a hit. There are more of us than I could imagine that have the love of a V8 and the drive to shove it a Beetle! I'm already working on plans for a second V8 bug, The madness never stops!! ;D Carmen, If you read this, please dont kill the site , I'll be lost. Thanks Chris Mock,( Mock1racer)

WOW!! There is 8 pages of registered members on this site, and more than 2/3 of them have never posted. What's up with that?? I'm callin ALL of you out!! Start some disscussion, get involved, ask questions, DO SOMETHING!! 8 pages of members and there are maybe ten of us that really are involved in this forum, and actively post regularly. We may not be many, but we're proud of what we do, or we wouldnt do it, I do it for my kids. When I'm dead and gone, my kids can look back at this and remember me through these pages, and posts. I leave for them a legacy of a custom HAND BUILT hot rod that nobody else has. The next one will be even better, and the next one after that,if I'm still here, the next one. I'll build V8 Bugs, and post here until my dagum hands fall off, THEN I'LL USE MY TOES!! I'm not askin much guys, just get involved in the site,eh?

I really don't think he is interested in the site anymore and hasn't been for a long time. What do you think? Sure wish I knew how to set up a website. I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Hey guys, I agree with Chris (Mock1racer), there's lots of good info here and different approaches to building a V8 bug and I would hate to see this site disappear. It's probably my fault this thread started cause of my post on volksrods.com about the v8bugs.com splash page being gone. I noticed the initial splash page at v8bugs.com is gone. In other words, the service wasn't renewed which raised the question of how long it would be before the board hosting expires as well. I agree there never has been much action here because of the nature of a V8bug build. Thanks, CMD. There was quite a stretch when I was was one of very few people to post, but these projects take a lot of time and money. So they're slow going. Now that my project is near completion and I just don't have money at the moment with my wife staying home with the baby, one income, there's not much going on with the bug. Heck, I can't really afford to put gas in it and insure it. So even if I wanted to just cruise it to shows as is, it wont be very often. Anywho, I'm still around and will be until this site dies. Whether it does or doesn't. See you guys around, Matt

I just posted this in another thread, but thought this might be a good place too. If anybody is interested I could start a forum up on my website www.v8beetleresource.com and we could all move over there. If you are interested let me know and I'll get started on it.
