Thread: Why is it? tha-------32 fords

Tweet

I have been around here a month now I have a 32 ford coupe one owner, street rod. I can't find anyone on this forum.......my ad for a wtb; swaybar is two weeks old. and not one bite.Does this forum ever get busy?????????????32 ford forum always has visitors,Are we the only street rodders left??

Bob,
In my experience CHR is not the place to buy & sell as much as it is the place for technical Q&A, advice and experience as well as socializing. In fact, all posts in the "For Sale" section get locked immediately, as they often get ugly fast. All interest is handled via PM or e-mail. If you haven't had any bites on your WTB a Swaybar I'd say no one has anything that meets your needs.

Well no one is stopping you from waltzing right on over to that '32 forum - and possibly, just maybe you can buy it there - oh wait, dam', you already tried

This place has been quite busy, compared to others I've tried. I think the membership is pretty large. It is also a very friendly place, compared to most.

I would simply assume that nobody, who has checked out the swaybar ad has what you want... or the car offered for sale doesn't happen to interest them.

For sales, you might try Craig's List, or Ebay, if you want immediate offers.

Jay - he's a newbie that wants instant response. I sometimes just don't have a lot of patience

I assume that if you want a sway bar that you probably don't have stock suspension---a little more info or a dozen pics would help out

i didn`t understand the question

Sometimes people expect too much of a forum. I see people post questions on here, and other forums, all the time and if no one has an answer right away they get the impression they are being ignored, when it could be simply that no one has an answer to give. Or, in your case, no one has a sway bar to sell.

I'm lucky enough to be on several excellent, friendly forums, and CHR ranks right up at the top of that list. If someone has some help they can give they are only too eager to jump in and offer it. You also have to realize that we all do this in our spare time and have lives outside the internet, so your thread might not even be seen by someone who can help for days or weeks.

Just have patience. (Or buy a new sway bar, how much can they cost? )

I always find the best way to get something you want is going and buy the part,then a few days later everyone has one for sale.

Or you go ahead and buy it, then find a duplicate in your stash !

Bob, I'd start checking out the salvage yards. Bet you could find something that would work for ya under the front or back of a Camry or Accord.

You can't use a Toyoda or Honda part on a Merc!!

Well i see how to get everybody to respond,just "get up" alittle about something and you immediately tear his head off. Sorry i ruffled so many feathers!!....but i found out, i was barking up the wrong tree. ps Anybody knows the tru--" hot rods are deuces---, heh heh. Thanks but no thanks to most of the help. To the friendly replys..you know who you are!! thanks a bunch for the help the rest can "sit on it" as the The fonz would say.i suppose none of you ever heard of the Fonz.I'll try ebay again and craigslist is only permitted to be used by the sex perverts and killers.
Sold a set of seats there and nothing else. HEY guys look what post i'm on, the 32 thing must be! aaaayy true heh heh heh see ya

Salvage yards here, are mostly for getting rid of steel[crushing cars] small stuff yards aren't to happy to waste their time i guess. thanks for the reply though...least you tried to help! Has to be a caprice wagon or impala.early 90s to work on a 50 merc.

Look for "U-Pull-It", "Pull & Save", "Pick-A-Part", ""Pick-and-Pull" or something similar. The true "salvage yards" are not into selling parts anymore. I think you will find some self service yards in Michigan if you really look - maybe not in your back yard, but they are there. What about the Speedway universal?
