FBBO Who's Who

Yep the "You pick 'em" thread is very entertaining Bel, enjoy it very much! I'm sure if we all found a place to get together it would be a heck of a time.

Thanks for the mention Runner :icon_thumright: It made me chuckle to read my own.

Can I put forward this one;
Mr.SpeedFreak - The future of where we want our hobby heading. Wise beyond his years and still willing to learn. :headbang:

Damn I was wondering why my ears were ringin haha thanks for the shoutout Kiwi! And tallhair was spot on with "too much of a gentleman for this forum" haha, always an appreciated source of encouragement and owner of one hell of a sweet GTX

Late to the party as always, so most of anyone I could think to mention have already been covered but here's a few repeats anyway

-Budnicks: already been covered, "cybernetic organism with a mopar ecu that traveled back in time to drop some knowledge in the form of endless multicolor/multi-font/multi-picture posts." (With an occasional humorous sub-routine thrown in for good measure)

-747mopar: custom fabrication wizard and all-around great guy, still owe you one for donating your original grille center trim to my car, been a lot of fun watching your build come together to such an awesome final product!

-Propwash: master of all things once rusty, full-on restoration sorcerer, and always willing to lend some helpful advice to us foolish mortals haha (still waiting on my signed hardbound copy of Family Tradition)

-Hyrdgoon: can be summed up with "Fer Racin," "viiiideeeeooooo," and "paint it black" lol always fun to have around and your buildthread has given me some great tips!

-CDR: "Charger Charlie" one hell of a great guy and always Johnny on the spot with the Charger info and encouraging posts.

-Hunt2elk: another Charger encyclopedia and the mind behind one of the meanest looking '69 Chargers I've ever seen. Also a source of some great info thanks to his buildthread

-Kahn-vertible67: always encouraging and with no fear of diving into a project head-first and learning as you go, something I think a lot of people should look up to. Always a great guy to have around

-USAroadrunner: an inspiration to be pushing forward through health issues with such a positive attitude (also applies to CDR), and creator of one seriously mean-mugging '70 Plymouth I get more and more jealous of with every update haha

Typing this has sucked my phone's battery pretty well dry but still a lot of people on here I'd like to give a shoutout to, Ron, RC/DH haha, 440+6, Photon, daytonakid, Bigblock61, 69runner, roadrunnerman, basketcase, mopar4don, pfg, cranky, chargersteven, marpar, chargerjase, too many to even think of. But in general the entire site has been a huge help through some excellent how-to posts, people willing to lend help when I've hit roadblocks, encouragement and always a good laugh, so a big "thank you!" out to all you guys!
Cheers!! ccasion14:


Oh and that's "ripe old age of 22" nowadays Dev haha thanks man!

thanks SPEEDY & YES YOU are an awesome car builder. at any age .

what happened to Revhendo too ??, I miss his wit & style

I'm still here. I just mainly lurk and drool over the pictures and awesome builds.
I used to have to log in all the time to keep Mario in check, but he's been behaving himself and I haven't had to save his meat from getting banned.

Lately....

I quit working in the hotrod/restoration industry a year ago and got me a job with the city as a mechanic. I was burned out, bigtime. I actually had learned a new definition of the phrase "Working with tools".

I still love these cars, and more importantly, the people here that make it all worthwhile. I'm not going anywhere.

Can someone put in props for Tem Green?

Glad to see your still around...


Tem Green I can't say I actually know him but knew of him, here...
{69 Runner was a great guy, tons of help, a wealth of knowledge, sad he's not here today}
I had just joined the site, IIRC Jan 2011 just a month before, when he had passed 2-9-11,
I've read allot of his old threads, he was very well liked, he must have been a great man...
may he rest in peace,
Maybe he's driving that 69 Road Runner, like a Bat out of Hell in the afterlife, Gods speed....

As the OP, I move that somebody needs to scrub this thread and compile a master list, from all the input, that can be added to in the future.

I nominate Budnicks as he has over 18,000 posts and over 15,000 thank yous (given). He is clearly the most qualified to take on a task of this magnitude plus he obviously has enough time on his hands..

Do I have a second?

I agree

It has been moved and we have a second. Let it stand.

Mr. Budnicks we need a complete, comprensive list of the FBBO Who's Who compiled from the input provided on this thread organized and posted in the original format (see the OP) by close of business, August 29th, 2014 (Pacific time).

Have fun.

We look forward to the results.

Thanks BUT No thanks, I answer enough stuff...
let someone else do the dirty deed...

I have FBBO logged on in a tile/link, on my screen, when ever I'm on internet, sitting at my desk,
at the computer...
I like to read allot, I usually don't come on at night, usually just when I'm at my work desk,
in between phone calls & e-mails, or finding parts, but normally between 7:00am-ish
{usually later like 9:00-10:00am-ish, after dealing with other issues}
to about 3:30-4:00pm-ish PST, except when I'm really bored at night...

I just browse some of the other forum sections, I stick to only a few forums mostly,
some I just read & don't comment much & try to fill in or help only where I think I can help,
if someone hasn't already helped or antagonize someone, sarcastically maybe...LOL,
It depends on what section & who's the poster is, what the subject is etc...

I have my haters, I guarantee you, one specifically lately, an utter & total jerk,
that seems to get off on talking crap about others, instead of actually helping others,
it makes no difference to me, I'm not a self proclaimed "Know It All",
like some people think that they are, I actually learn stuff everyday,
I'm not to big to admit it either, I like to converse with allot of people...
I say my piece & move on or just ignore the utter a--holes, it's the best way...

Carry on folks...

What do you mean no proof? It's got a date and time stamp and is available for public viewing. What more do you need?

How about we update the list with;
Budnicks: When the going gets tough, he quits.

Roped and tied buddy, roped and tied.

Bunicks? spelling issue!

What? Spelling issue? Where?

Is that what you want to be called? I've never seen it personally but whatever floats your boat.

OK! Budnicks! 18,000 posts? really?

That's 18,000 posts in 3.5 years.
14 posts a day for 3.5 years, every day, solid.
Like I said, he obviously has the time.

Hey thanks for the kind word's fella's! Everyone give themselves a $1/HR raise!

Pretty interesting thread, this "FBBO Grammy's." I could easily fill a couple pages with all the great folks on this site. By far, folks here have made restoring a car 100% easier and a 100% more enjoyable.

Anyways...Good to see you gent's spreading the limelight. The biggest point coming out of this thread is basically how great this site is because of all the members that make it that way. Thanks Runner68 for starting it.

Rev....Good to see you man! Don't be a stranger chief.....and I agree, Tem should continue to keep his corner office, violently sifting through all the "there, their, they're, your and you're's!"
