Thread: Where is Brian?

Tweet

Every once in a while we look up and realize we haven't heard from some member for a while. It just dawned on me Brian (Brianrupnow) hasn't been here for a while. I checked his stats and the last time he posted was Sept. Hope he's ok. Has anyone heard from him?

Don

I saw him answer a thread the other day - can't remember on which site. He said that he had hardly any work & that's about all.
Doug

I saw the same posting Doug did a few days ago ((I don't know exactly how much a "few" is, but I saw it, too).

I had been wondering about him myself.


Jim

Last time I saw him post he mentioned that, since he bought the metal lathe, he had become involved with building model steam engines and was spending a lot of time on a forum that was dedicated to that hobby.

It sounds like he is ok then, maybe just taking a little break from car stuff. Hope that is it.

Hi Fellows--I am alive and well. I've had a bad year here with very little work, and suffering a bit from winter "blahs". I'm sure that my "hotrod flame" will burn a lot brighter when the warm weather rolls around again. For now, the "Wild Canary" has gone to bed for the winter in my garage, covered up with a couple of old bedsheets. After such a wet nasty summer last year, and such a lack of work this summer and winter, I just haven't had anything "post-worthy" to talk about. Thanks for asking about me.---Brian

Hey Brian, you may remember me from another site. You always had post worthy stuff. Hope work picks up soon for you.

I just did a quick read thru the post on making a grill shell. Dang, I was good, wasn't I!!! I just love doing those "How to" posts. I haven't really done anything "New" on the Wild Canary since last spring when I made the sidewindows and took that trip down to the east coast in two weeks of wall to wall rain. The car still works great, and I MAY build a 350 to replace the tired 305 this coming year---Of course, that depends on this miserable economy doing better in the coming year.--cross your fingers, guys---Lets hope for better times ahead!!!---Brian

Glad to see you back, Brian! You know, if you want to ditch the 305 but you're worried about the economy, a turbo or blown V6 WOULD save you some $$ on gas.

I just acquainted myself with your grille insert how to,and thought it was kool...have seen a few done down here very similar to yours,somehow,I think a lot of guys are forgetting the DIY approach,gotta have the best and flaunt it,type..
The Canadian economy is one we dont hear about,so dont know how bad it is...Things still a bit tight up there too are they?? Hope it comes right for you soon,we are getting a little more work lately,hope it keeps going..
