Don't want to over load myself so I think I'm gonna do one bike and stick with that till it's done. I need it done by windber anyway so time to hustle and get this thing going. Guess I know what I'm doing this weekend. Lol

I have a BC 1100 that I started a project thread on . All I did to it was take it apart and blast the frame and cleaned up the wheels . I want to enter VINTAGE class , have I done to much ?
I'am wanting to get right with the purist on the site and do a correct restoration. So can I enter that class ?

This is comical. :laugh: And because I'm not going to go behind your back and whine, I'll remind you of the following:
Last year, I took a rust bucket pile of Powell parts, did all of my own fabrication, paint, everything but the HS40 block I had to buy, since I didn't have one- and I cut the seat mount down and installed a solo seat, and right there in my build thread, you said it was no longer "vintage." A frikking seat mount and seat! A swap that requires removing one T bolt! And you weren't even a participant.
Rule #2:
"2. Any project already started will be in the "Just for fun" class. You can start gathering parts and materials, but no fab work, paint or anything else will be started until after January 1st."
On my project, if it was currently bare framed, and wheels off and cleaned up, it would be 1/3 of the way done. (Mini Gote) Don't misunderstand me, I don't give a darn what you do, and the decision is already made. But I call BS. :thumbsup:

Hi Dave....please remember one thing in this years build.....it is not last years build.
Second....there have been a couple people so far that are starting at the same point...they stripped the paint. Honestly...I can't see penalizing someone for having the paint off the bike already. I can remember a couple years ago when a member who ran the build had their frame and parts already bead blasted/paint stripped before he started his build. http://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/O...2014-a/89419-bonanza-build-vintage-class.html
That being said...please remember this is for fun....and not a job. Thanks

No problem Bill. My post wasn't directed at the moderators. I'm all good, and hopefully Pat has forwarded to you my very positive comments on what you're doing this year.
No doubt, I could benefit from a class on proper etiquette on social networking sites. Learn to be more copacetic and go with the flow. What can I say, it was the first thing I read this morning, and I came real close to spitting that first gulp of 2016 coffee all over my screen.
I will be entering this year's build off, and will "not" be one of the competitors bitching via PM's. :laugh:
