C Body Deaddock

[commando1]

You trying to start something here now?

Those days are over. If somebody brought that up I'd just go the Gold Member rant thread and find my affirmation

There certainly were some characters over there - I tried hard to be the oil on rough waters a few times.

Who remembers Bob of bobsoldbikes? He seemed to be misunderstood more than anyone else there!

Edit - his personal email was bobsoldbikes, but his drydock handle was stationwagonguy. Interestingly I just reconnected with him on FaceBook last night!

The dock was an offshoot of my site pentastarpower.com, yes. You can see that from the way back machine.
Later on we had a swoopy 'chicago' style logo that I still had a shirt from for a long time.
It originally used a board style like the Dallas mopar board which predated moparts in popularity but was completely suceptible to JavaScript attacks that rendered it useless

I agree this board software is the best of any site I've used, works well on mobile, attachments work great, copy paste photos in.

I was the original owner of the cbodydrydock domain. I wrote a little site with the Perl CGI module. Life got busy and I gave it to Scott and he ran with it for awhile.

The original Dock was around 24 years ago .... or more. As i said earlier once Scott got the name there were two Drydocks for a while. Who kept the original ?

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

I used to log into the original every now and then, but not for years.

There was something, can't remember the URL to use the way back machine, it was a Detroit area web forum that had one for c bodies. I don't remember who owned that one.
I created cbodydrydock.com and then eventually gave it to Scott.

And he was a whacko, right?
It will come to me

polaraco and stitcher bob were the most interesting on the drydock to me.

Started on cbodydrydock but then found this site. I haven't been on it in over a year now.

To be honest I don't remember him. Or why I even started cbodydrydock lol. I created pentastarpower because the Dallas board kept getting hacked and the owner abandoned it and then eventually was trying to sell it.

Both are still alive and well.
I see Steve a few times a year and sometimes we visit Bob to bust his balls,LOL
The Blue Diamond is at Stitcherbobs getting the interior redone.

Insane asylum of some of the most knowledgeable c-body guys I have known.
I had the weekend of Hell with Hobby retrieving his 62 300 Letter car...

I spent a weekend in Joisey retreiving the letter car from the backyard jungle at stitcherbobs ,load it on the trailer right before he sold it.
He reluctantly sold it but his health at the time was more important.

The first Drydock I recall was a C body section of a all Mopar message board , I think out of Detroit. Hell that was 24 years ago and I just can't recall.....
I may be using the wrong phrase here but they were on a hosting site called " Inside the Web " once they got big.
That then changed and they moved from the " Inside the Web" message board to another as it languished then almost died. As i recall Scott was able to use the name to start his own Drydock and the two Drydocks coexisted for a long time. Hell , the former may still exist but who knows?

I got away from the Dock to get away from half the people there which are now 10 percent of the people here.
I agree, the software here is better but I hope Scott never surrenders the Dock. Joey had made it clear he's been trying to buy it for years .

What year did you create it ?

So you weren't involved in the Detroit based web forum? The guys that started the C body Drydock name ?
I'm just trying to get a handle on longevity. What year did you start yours ?

The one guy that has been on all these boards that I can recall is FURYGT . (Bill)

I can remember coding the original site in the apt we had before buying our house so it would have been 2001-2002.
I first came to know of the Dallas board in 1999 I think. That was the first car board I found

Me in my C body Drydock shirt . I'm guessing around 2003

 

[commando1]

Anybody here remember MassMopar.

 

[furious70]

Might as well been 1979!

Steve and Bob are still around, although I don't think Bob lives in Jersey anymore.

That's my old car. Can't believe Steve has not replaced the California plates yet. It's been his since 2003!!!

Glad to know Bob is doing the interior. The man does great work!
