Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
Everyone has bad times. It's how they choose to handle those bad times that determine what their character is. Some people do it the right way, some do it the wrong way. Carlos may be a great guy, but he chose to handle this the wrong way. Hopefully in the future, he will do it differently. With that being said, it's probably time for everyone to move on......

Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
Sounds like a tough ordeal to have been through, but at the end, it's looks like it's going to be a truly sweet ride.
Congratulations on that, and I for one, am looking forward to more updates & the completion of the build. Also: to 68 Short Step: Sorry if I appear to to have maybe "stepped on" your Board name, by choosing the one I have. When I signed up here a couple years or so ago, I just typed that in as a possibility, it was available, and that's what I got. It wasn't 'til later, after I'd read a lot of the posts, that I realized mine was so close to what you use as your name. No harm intended. Maybe some day we'll meet & I'll buy you a brewski.

For the record, my post has nothing to do with Don or his gospel.. you can ask him yourself as he n I rarely see eye to eye. Not that you deserve an explanation on my side.. but if you actually read the review forum and not just the one post, you would see Carlos was suspended from here BEFORE any of the issues with he and Don came to light. Thank you and have a nice week... back on topic or the build thread goes buh bye |

Re: my official 68 shortstep ls1 thread (lots of pics)
well i can sympathize with those involved (both sides) i had a similar ordeal with the trans. shop that did my tranny. it was recommended by people i knew & when it was all said & done i felt pretty bad about the whole situation: client (me) not happy, shop not happy, & people that recommended me felt bad, although they still use them & i beleive have not had any issues. i completly agree with hart-rod! anyways everyone can move on & now enjoy the re-bulding of what appears to be a great looking ride that all will be proud of. keep us posted on the progress!!! again great truck (even for a step side.... lol)

I really like my AeroForce Interceptor in my T/A. Too bad they only make them in 2 1/16"...
