He has posted 8 times and except for the fact he said nothing about his fenders in this post, he has said the same thing in every post. And his avatar, sure doesn't look like a one piece fiberglass teardrop to me. He probably stole that pic from someone else’s web site just like he did with the first avatar. He sure isn't getting off on a good foot.

Have a good day.

Very good question.... probably won't anymore. I believe Gage might have hit the nail on the head.

And sense when is Northern California only 50 miles from Southern California? If you are only about 50 miles from me, then that puts you in the middle of the desert and there is no teardrop builders or repair people out there.

Give us a real name and address and I'll tell you exactly how far away you are. And if your only about 50 miles away, I'll be more than happy to come by and take a look (and eat my words).

Have a good day.

Ok glass, I've tried to read your post and it is difficult to say the least.

One reason why everybody is giving you a hard time is because your first avitar was obviously lifted off the net. Add to that, it is the exact one used by somebody who rips people off by selling junk plans on eBay.

That pic alone sends up red flags around here.

I agree with Steve, Madjack ..Lets give him a chance anyway.. there could be a hundred reasons for his ways of writing..and no real fault of his own.

Having to admit his writing is very difficult to comprehend..

He could also be a good ol boy never meanin no harm...

Classic Finn ;)

PS Glassice maybe we can understand you better if you take a little bit more of your time to post so we dont translate your posts wrongfully.

Photos are very welcome. Even more so if they are your own.and they show your personal work..
