Now that the ruckus of the past week has settled down in a positive manner, We've decided to make a change here.

Effective now, I am the "Copo and Dealer" forum moderator.

Jeff has done a great job here, and he's a good friend. When the ruckus started last week, he chose to pull back, thinking that his close ties with one group hindered his ability to moderate both. Al stepped in, and things are now looking good.

Since Al can't moderate this full time in addition to administering the entire website and 3 more, he's asked me to step in.

I'll be adding more, will try to keep em short.

[JimM]

For those who aren't regulars here, justa bit about me.
I'm 48, married with 3 boys, and live in suburban Chicago. I own a small business.

I've been part of Team Camaro, and it's been a part of me, for 7 years. I posted for the 8000th time today. I've been a moderator (in electrical) since Devember of 05, and I'm the newest mod on the site. I like to think I'm liked and respected by most here, and I think of hundreds as my friends.

My favorite musclecar is topless, I'll own or drive nothing else. Lifetime so far, 14 drop tops, t-tops, or removables. My favorite is the 68 Camaro, second 67 GTO.

I do my own work. All of it. The only thing I've farmed out is engine machine work and wheel alignments.

I don't weld. Thankfully, my current ride hasn't needed any. I consider this to be a huge character flaw, and one I will rectify someday.

I don't know a lot about "supercars." I do plan to do a lot of learning.

I know very little about the supercar scene, and the people involved, but again, I plan to do a lot of learning.
Since I don't know, I expect I'll be extremely impartial. I will act on what is posted here, not based on any relationships or friendships. "We" do not have a past. Our future starts now.

[HawaiianCamaro]

Make sure Al gives you the same pay raise as I got when I first took it

Really though Jim, Al couldn't have asked a better person to take it over.
Besides now I got the last peice of sheetmetal for my 68 that is long overdo for being put back together and Ill be doing a lot of that over the next few months trying to get it together for the Hawaiian Island Camaro Round the Island Cruise. might not be in paint then but oh well will make for a fun day

[JimM]

pay raise... lmao.

If you get bored, I think there's still an opening in Transmissions.
By all means keep the flag. We need your input in the back room.

Maybe we need a Bar and Grille section to sit and miserate about the wages
Ya know that might be a cool additon now that I think of it. We can have our BBQ receipes, food and beverage ideas etc. OMG that might get to dainty for me, yikes

[Larger Dave]

As a former owner of a '68 Baldwin Motion Phase III Camaro can I say, congratulations Jim? Shucks, I'm going for it! Congratulations.

OK DAVE open up a new post and tell us about your old 68 BM III Camaro. IS it still arounds anywhere and if so whats the status of it!!!

[Rabbit]

Congrats Jim, You seem to have done a good job here so far.

Jeff good luck with the restoration of the Camaro. As we all know it take alot of work and many hours to put new life into an old car like we do. Have fun and don't get dishearted during those times when the rebuild slows down just think of the fun ahead when it's done.

[JimM]

[MrDanB]

Jim, we'll see if we can get some good educational posts going without making them combative in any way. I will have to put a disclaimer on mine since I know I will mess up some details and that's where I hope others will chime in to help to correct things.
