Missing Build Thread?
« on: January 18, 2023, 10:50:53 PM »
I’ve unfortunately let my build thread atrophy over the last six years or so. Several cross-country moves, a career change, a kiddo, and I’m finally getting back to pulling the ‘73 out of hibernation and finishing it.

Any way to recover the build thread linked in my signature, or is it gone forever?

There was a catastrophic site crash a few years ago and everything was lost. Some have used the https://web.archive.org/ way back machine to help rebuild threads. It would be great if more folks rebuilt or started new build threads. We need to get the site filled back up with info. Glad to see you back!

Thanks, Form. That’s a bummer.

I do have all my old photos stored on a hard drive. May have to spend some time recreating the thread while I wait for winter to clear and my new shop to go up.

Sounds like a perfect way to spend some down time. Looking forwards to seeing your build thread.

Jack, I only wish it was pure down time! LSA blower on the Caprice is currently off for a rebuild after growing a bearing noise issue, and the Satellite is next in line for garage space to knock out the T56 Magnum swap. Always something around here!
