What is it with some people..

He seemed like he was a reasonable Jury Rigger when I first started paying attention to another thread he did.
But he continues to say more objectionable things and page after page of them. Didn't bother to read every page on this thread & had skipped to where members were piling on again before he proved to me he's one to ignore/block.
I'd bet he'll come back w/another screen name, if he is computer savvy enough. Not sure if you can get banned from facebook?

I actually have no problem with HOW he does repairs on anything. I couldn't care LESS if he uses cardboard and paper mache. His attitude is horrible. He keeps coming back at the mods over and over and over again. He doesn't know when to stop. He got what he deserved.

Small stiffeners glassed in where needed may not be as objectionable. Could just do it w/ glass instead.
I fixed a cracked plastic motorcycle fairing w/ epoxy & a small riveted plate one time. Saved the paint & it paid well & didn't come back.

I could see a similar type repair. It's a 60s and 70s back yard body repair. If you cut ALL the rust out, treated the area with something like POR15 and proceeded with your "whatever" filler, fine. But do it your way. Don't come in here trying to argue people down about how it's a great way to do it. More like "I know this isn't picture perfect, but this is how I did it" kinda thing. Sometimes people have to do what they have to do. If there's anybody that gets that, it's me.

And he started off talking that way, and then was saying stuff that didn't make sense, and then arguing and misleading.

I know. It's just like ANY other post, yet you'd think it's the frickin end of the world. "Don't do what the Nazis tell you" Resist! Resist! Dumbest **** I ever saw.
 
I'm a member over there now. I will just read along and not comment. He just won't listen and is doing the same thing there that he was doing here. Thanks to the FABO members there that are trying to explain to him. Good luck though.
 
He keeps posting and the guys there are piling on telling him what kind of hack repairs he is doing. :lol: He doesn't get it though. He says he has patch panels and a welder but chooses to use chicken wire and bondo. What ever trips your trigger dude.

I wonder if he shares his "methods" if/when he goes to sell the car? Sure hope so.

I don’t know about the welder, but the patch panels were literally in the trunk of that car in one of the pictures in his thread. If he has a welder he’s just completely clueless, he spent more time making that chicken wire abomination than it would have taken to burn the panels in.

This. He’s clearly obsessed with raising the resale without spending much money. I totally get being on a budget, but the way he keeps talking about the resale and repeatedly mentioning he's not selling the car tells me that’s exactly what he’s doing. Add that to doing that to multiple cars in a short timeline? He’s slapping lipstick on a pig and doing the minimum mechanical work at the same time. Dudes a flipper, that’s why he comes off like a used car salesman.

Sad part is, he already has the panels. If he has a MIG then it wouldn’t have been any more expensive to weld the panels he already has onto that car. Unless he’s planning on using them for something else or selling the panels themselves. And either of those would probably make him a flipper.

Ad’s gonna say something like “fresh paint, mechanicals gone through, good car for a driver” and then he’s gonna sell his same BS about welding patch panels in being something that only happens on cars that get restorations that cost “tens of thousands of dollars” (if he says anything!). He could easily convince someone without a lot of knowledge in the hobby that his POS is a good start. And then some poor beginner will start their old car journey with a POS that’s gonna be a major problem in a very short time.

& he's gotten less reasonable the longer it went on, until you just say Whaat! You're just full of it! I wasn't laughing after that, just shaking my head. He hid it for a while.

Yeah I blasted him a time or two and then blocked him. lol
 
For the Jury Rig thread: has anyone that looks at Facebook, seen the guy painting a Chev Square Body PU with a roller? He looks like Bob Ross! And they did a Bob Ross voiceover so he sounds like him, too!
Sorry, but I don't know how to put the link on here.

I have not. But I've actually seen some pretty good roller jobs. We have some members here who've done it and it turned out much better than I thought.

A mag, Mopar Muscle(I think)Editor Randy Bolig(IIRC) did a Rustoleum roller job on a 65 Valiant(maybe) in White that looked good & glossy in pics. Took several issues.
I'd previously seen, in Wooden Boat Magazine, a row boat being painted with a roller, & then tipped off with a very high quality brush, a common boat painting technique, due to needing no overspray while painting around other boats. You use special thinners to get it to level afterwards.
Marine Paints are made for it, too. They used 'Awl-Grip Polyurethane' paint , a very high quality marine paint. Rowboat looked very glossy.
Others used Acrylic Latex over epoxied plywood built and coated small boats that stayed outside all winter & had lasted for years.
Roller & tip off w/foam brush does the best Varnish finishes that I've personally done. Not all foam brushes are equal, either. No orange peel like spraying gives you. Very level finish.

Actually quite the opposite and easy to check out. Lots of compliments and verly little negativity. But.. people can go see for themselves if they want the truth.

Car isn't for sale but I certainly would tell all I know. I wonder if people that load their cars up with repop parts tell everyone which parts are not original Mopar parts. That's what I would be concerned about .

Like everything else, you're worried about the wrong thing. The people that want original parts know exactly how to identify them.

You know how you can tell someone knows how to identify original Mopar parts? It's easy, they'll tell you. :poke:

Whether you give a crap or not, they'll tell you every single non-original part on your car without provocation and without considering that the person they're proselytizing to was in fact the one responsible for installing every one of the non-original parts they're so deeply offended by.

It's the people that may think they are buying a mostly original car and may not know. If you are going to refer to someone as a con man that makes something look original but it isn't, to be fair the same can be said about parts that are made to look like something they aren't.
