I joined the old forum around 2003 and learned a lot. There was an expert on U.S. military shotguns at the time...from Phoenix I think...does anyone remember this guy?

The only name I remember as being a poster from that area was Ron Weddle. He often posted what was happening along the boarder nearly on a daily basis.

I was making money hand over fist for a while, but some YouTube blogs have driven the price of old cars through the roof. I looked at a '47 Ford pickup so rusty there was no spot on the vehicle you could stand without falling through. The asking price was $5500. I tried to explain to the guy that no matter what car you started with, the cost was about the same to restore it. Generally about 1000 hours and $20M to $35M to restore any vehicle. I just spent over 100 hours removing the paint from a vehicle. One can expect to lose about 20% of their money if they sell after restoration. No one is going to give you $30M for a Volkswagen. You see ads for extravagant money for cars, but what few see to grasp is that they actually sell for far less than the asking price.

Bruce Canfield was another interesting fellow on the old forum. Whatever happened to him? His books are pretty good in my opinion...

I am 90 so I guess I am the oldest one here. I still remember Bob The Beagle Master and also Bubblehead on the old forum. Bob was the manager of a hardware store. Bubblehead, if I remember correctly, had been in the Navy and had served on many submarines. I also remember the posts made by Major Culver and how he often referred to his wife as "the Swede."
