I just want to let you all know how much I have enjoyed being part of this sight. It has been a lot of fun helping you get your rear ends in gear :D I'm not sure, but I think I have been on this sight almost every day for close to 8 years now. I have met a lot of great people here and I have actually been able to meet some of you in person. I will miss being here each day, but God has led me in another direction and I must leave this behind. I will still be checking my email a few days a week, so if there is somthing that you need or a question that you can't find the answer to then send me an email. I'm sure that some of the others here will be able to help answer questions. I am in the process of closing my business, so I have some stock that I need to sell off. If I ever get that book finished I'll be back to let you know.
God bless,
Freddie Byars (BGH)

Good luck on your venture Freddie. Your insight and knowledge will be missed. I personally thank you for all your help.

If you are half as good at anything else as you are with Camaro stuff you will be a sure success. You sure made my 12 bolt endeavour a lot easier. Good luck in your future journies.

Take care Freddie , good luck and God bless. Love that 69 btw:thumbsup:

You will truly be missed on T/C. It's guys like you who have made this web site so valuable to us novices. I thank you for the help you gave me last month with my new rear gears and pray you have much success in this new endeavor.

Thanks so much for all the help you gave. You'll be truly missed by everyone here.

Thanks Freddie from Canada, You were very helpfull to me, with me having no knowlege, when doing my 12 bolt build... and a great parts supplier! Good luck.

Cheers,Mark

BGH... what kind of stock are you selling off? Any 8.2 parts. Sorry to see you going. :(

Fred, can't begin tell you how big an asset you have been to this site and how much you will be missed. :yes:
Wish you all the success in your new calling and hope you can find a time (or two or ... ) in the furture to check in with us if you can.

Your friend;
John

You will be sorely missed (you are already!) Good luckj in whatever you do.

joe

I'm sure I learned a few things by reading your posts. Thanks and good luck.

Freddie, You and a few others gave me the courage to tackle the rear rebuild I was so scared of. Your knowledge and help will be sorely missed by us all.

I wish you all the luck and may God smile on you on your new journey in life.

Best wishes.

P.S. You can alway visit us :D

Thank you Freddie for all of your help. Were gonna miss you.

sorry to see you go, but good luck with everthing you may do.
Kenny

freddie, i`m sure all the good you`ve done will come back to you in spades in whatever it is you`re going into...we`ll keep the light on for ya whenever you want to spout some of your vast knowledge, or when you just wanna say hi...

Anytime I saw your name on a post, I read it cause I knew I would learn something. Thanks Freddie. Folks like you are few and far between. I know God will, and has blessed you, as he has blessed us with your friendship. You take care, and please don't be a stranger. Drop in from time to time just to say "hello." You are part of this family too.

I guess I have to ask what only one other guy did.....why are you leaving?? Does anyone know??? Are you ill???
It's a computer and a website. Will you be somewhere where there is no internet....can I go with you???

You helped me in a couple of big ways with my 12 bolt and not only saved me a bunch of time, but you also kept me from repeating a mistake. Thanks for your endless knowledge. I hope if I ever have trouble with my rearend again, our paths with cross.

Freddie is fine, not selling off his tools but just repriortizing things in his life to spend more time with his 11 year old son, maybe start to build a car with him and more family time. Many folks in here have had to change their daily routines as their lives change around home. When the kids are all gone, its easier but until then... kids are priority for all of us. Right?
His efforts here will be searchable for a long time and equally valuable.

Thanks Jim....I have a wife that is 16 weeks pregnant and the car thing is REALLY going to slow down. Can you delete the link in the engine section?? I shouldn't have posted there.

Thanks for the contributions, all the best in the future! Your legacy is alive here, so follow your heart-

><>

good luck in your next venture and thanks for all the great info you shared with us...

I ain't buying it... you're as addicted to this place as I am, not to mention all the rest here. You were never here for business, and simply changing your line of work won't keep you from popping in here to help out when you can!

Good luck, take it easy, and see ya soon, Feddy!
Thanks for all your help, both with my 8.5 last year, and for everyone else here you've helped over the years!

Thanks Jim...it sounds like you knew him better than most and that was an encouraging post.......

Can we get Freddies posts all on a page/stickie/or something so we don't lose his knowledge ?

Can we get Freddies posts all on a page/stickie/or something so we don't lose his knowledge ?

Now there is a GOOD idea!
Who's in charge of the drivetrain forum?

Remember the "book"? He vanished for several months, lock stock and barrel, gone... But he came back.

I'll keep my hopes up. Freddy, if you're listening, and the rest of you "Pro's" in whatever automotive field who hang out here too, we need you guys, and we like having you around. A couple thousand really good shadetree mechanics can only go so far. The problem is limited experience. You guys who do this to put bread on your table, you experience is priceless, and thanks for taking the time to share it with us.

See ya Freddie and come back when you feel you want to.

We will ALL be looking for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pdq67

Wow, I got my 12 bolt done just in time by Freddie apparently. Take care Freddie and hope to see you back.

Man! Talk about a heartbreaker. BGH! May you find all that you are looking for. I (we) wish you all the best in life and love. One thing though, you may not have realized this but you have found a calling and it just may be from us. Please drop in from time to time so we know all is well with you and yours. Lets face it, we all hate to loose a friend let alone a friend with knowledge. BGH FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

R.I.P BGH.

Gonna miss ya bro.

Again, I wish Freddie & family the best of luck in their new chapter.

Talk about a wealth of info....he is it. Who's gonna fill in?

Oh NO! I was out of town and missed this thread. This is sad! Freddie you helped me too. Thanks again!

Best wishes BGH and thanks for sharing your time and experience. You will be missed!

Steve

Hi Freddie,
Glad to see you back on Team Camaro. You were greatly missed.

I doubt there is anybody more popular on here than Freddie. Kudos to Freddie for whatever he is doing next.

Hes back?!

Hes back?!

It appears so.

I/m looking for a 69 12 bolt???

Hate to see you go but you would know whats best.

So with that I say ALOHA and just in case you dont know it means both hello and goodbye. As Al stated the light is on. stop back in now and then when you can.

Hes back?!

This thread is a year old, something that apparently has been overlooked :). Or at least, you'd think the guy who just revived this thread would have quoted/followed a current post of Freddie :confused:

Yep Kevin is right, its a year old guys :) but Freddie does hop in and out on occasion, reading and just keeping a tab on us. He also takes direct questions via email if you get stuck. A great car guy and TC member :thumbsup:

I thought it unusual when I saw his post.

Yea, I've been looking in durring my breaks at work. I have missed this, but it took a lot of my time before. I'm trying to limit myself to just a few web sights instead of the 8 or more that I was doing before.

Great to see you back.Several times in the past few months when a ? came up I said to myself Freddie would know.

Just send me an email. I'll answer it.

Great to see you back!

I'm glad you're back Fred!....I followed your advice regarding the tightening of the pinion nut to 150 ft lbs torque and it worked excellent!.....Apparently the previous owner replaced the pinion yoke on my 12 bolt and finger tightened it and I thought I'd have to get the gears set up again until you suggested just to properly torque it down, it wasn't easy or fun laying underneath the car which was on ramps, but I got it!
