Title: It's Time
Post by: Skuzzy on February 28, 2019, 01:59:28 PM
Today is my last day to be part of the working class.  Yes, I have decided to retire.

Been a lot of fun working and supporting everyone.  If I started a "special thanks" list it would overflow the server.

I dunno yet if your Cobra is finished and I don't know if you've started your wife's project.  But I do know now you will have the time to do something that you like a great deal!

Get them done and on the road and have fun...................FINALLY!  Being retired is great and you and your wife finally have the time to enjoy life on your terms.

congrats Skuzzy.

Thanks guys.  Mean a lot to me.

Hajo, I am still working on the Ranchero, and Cobra.  The Vette is on the list,...but lately I have been eyeballing a little ole 289 I have sitting in the corner of the garage and measuring the Mini Cooper for an update. :)

Got my powder coat booth up and running.  Getting ready to release a custom IRS kit for 64-66 Mustangs, Falcons, Comets, and Rancheros.  Looking at a new front suspension design as I am not happy with what the aftermarket has to offer.

Yep, gonna be busy.

It is a 64.  I am stuffing a Gen 3 Coyote in it with the 6R80 auto-tranny.  I designed a new rear sub-frame which will allow me to bolt in the IRS from a late model Mustang.  There is lot more.

I'll get around to posting pics/films of the project.


And thanks again everyone!

No, I did not think you did a rule 4. Skuzzy had to hand out quite a few, over time.

Acknowledging that the 'Skuzzy' cpid probably wouldn't give Roy a minutes peace (from the AHBB crew) I anticipate a rather benign replacement and will not venture any more guesses.  :angel:

Today is my last day to be part of the working class.  Yes, I have decided to retire.

Been a lot of fun working and supporting everyone.  If I started a "special thanks" list it would overflow the server.

<S> All.

you will be missed Skuzzy. thanks for all your hard work and dedication over the years. Especially the way you took time to answer very tough technical questions with respects to home PC builds. I know I personally benefited greatly from the info you provided. You never failed to answer my questions, and the info and advice you Dave was second to none.

Thank you and happy retirement.  :salute

   Soooo   I have not been playing for a while and decide to check the forums today (first time in several months) and I see this...       <S> Skuzzy    I'm happy that you will have some good relaxation time now but at the same time I can't help but feel a lil saddened.   Must be all the years I spent flying the not so friendly sky of AH, 1 through 3 and you were always there keeping things under control on the forum and putting up with things like the time when I pasted your head onto Sandra Bulloks' body....  :eek:    Ahhhh fond memories Skuzzy. Have fun with your toys sir. You deserve it.     

  P.S.  If we can get a pic of your replacement I'll be perfectly happy to fire up my old copy of Photo Shop and see what kind of trouble I can get into while welcoming the new hire to the Forum.   :salute

Am sorry that I missed your post about retiring, I have not logged in to play since about 3rd week of February and you already know what issues I have been dealing with for more than the past 10 years...

Just now getting back to being able to play AH3....

Thank you for all the help and support/advice over the past 19+ years

Hope you might have time to come fly in KOTH from time to time if you get a chance to

I truly appreciate getting to know you and our conversations, Roy

You are One of a kind and surely have earned the chance to retire 10 fold, for putting up with all of this motley crew, heh

Take care and don't be a stranger
