I support whatever it takes to do your job. I appreciate being able to view your web site and glean ideas. I am a former Winston Cup Crew Chief - race car builder- mechanic- welder -fabricator. If you are involved with race cars of any description you have to learn to do it all. The depth of the knowledge on this web site is amazing and I love to read the posts and yes I learn something quite often. I am currently building a 22 T bucket Track Roadster. The people on this web site inspired me to build a track roadster nose for it. I have just got to Florida for the winter and in the next few weeks I will start to build a wooden buck for it. I will take pictures and will post them if I can figure out how. Thank You all for the effort it takes to maintain this site.

Welcome Kenny, Well you best get to figuring out how to post photos....

Seriously please take photos, lots of photos, we'll help you master the photo posting. Normally when people have problems they photos are too big. Keep them around 6-800 DPI and you'll be fine.

Do you know Will Cronkite (RockHillWill on our site)? He's also an old (literally old) NASCAR crew chief, owner, builder.

Default HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL AT AMShaping

No not Jimmy Johnsons crew chief. I am not near that smart. Wish I was. Kerry yes I know Willy Cronkrite. He was there when I was Crew Chief for a racing team out of Ontario in 1973 and 1974 with driver Earl Ross. Willy was one of the best fabricators there at that time and incredibly smart. We called him Willy the computor, really nice guy. I will post pictures of the car when I get back in the spring to Ontario. In the meantime will get going on the buck for the track nose. It is said that the least used word in the English language is THANKS so THANKS to all the people who administer this site and all who contribute their insite here.
Kenny

Yeah, he comes across as just an old country boy but if you talk to him a few minutes, it becomes obvious he is one sharp cookie. And a heck of a nice guy too. (Will is your head swelling yet?)
