    I just got to share this with you folks This is what hot rodding is all about. I am very pleased to be a part of this "Great bunch of guys" working for a super cause. Doug is a member of "Hot Rod Bunch" car club. The club knowing he had lost his vision decided to step up and do something about it. We cant fix his vision, so we made the decision to do what we do best fix his car. Thanks for looking :D http://www.hotrodbunch.com/#!dougs-build/c21wx

    Ok thanks for the comment on our web sight. I also designed the sight, I didn't think the music was that loud. I can however lower the volume or turn the background music off all together. Thanks for your input

    always super cool when a guy can be helped when all seems lost. kudos a thousand times over.

    re: the music issue: when i was trying to find a video showing how to do woodgraining, the only one that clearly and quickly showed how had the worst, loudest damn street rap music playing that no less than four times i stopped the video and went in search of a different one. i finally muted the damn thing and watchd the guy work without his explanations.

    Sorry for this, but I'd think a guy who designs web sites would know how to spell site.
     
  9. I think that quite possibly everyone who's posted so far has missed the point! Turn down your volume if you have to and enjoy folks helping folks out. That's what it's about!.....sheesh!:p

    Never auto-start music, animation, or anything else. That's just plain bad UI design. Don't take the user's control away, you will alienate them.

    simmilar thing happened here a few years ago. A guy who was not even in our club but was a good friend of one of our club members was diagnosed with cancer half way through his '71 Vette rebuild. He really wanted to get the Vette done so that he could pass it on to his son who was only nine at the time so a few of our clbmembers who happened to be mechanics and car painters etc stepped in and finished it for him.
    Luckily they got the Vette finished in time for him to attend one last rod event before he passed and it is now stored away untill his son is old enough to be able to go for his licence.

And he dont care ifn we mizpel sumpthin later friend

    What you are doing is absolutely fantastic..........we all need friends like you guys. :) Super nice of all of you to think of him that way.

    As for the sound, you must have turned it off because it was silent when I looked at it. I get what the guys were saying, there are some sites that blow you into the next room when you click on them. I have a guy who calls me occasionally for car building advice, and I like him, but his answering machine starts off with the loudest music intro that seems to go on forever. When I call him back I usually hang up immediately as I can't take the music.

    The site (sight) was fine when I watched it though and loved the picrures and story.

    Just got through watching overhauling on TV. Our build is not going quite as fast as the guys on tv but I am pleased with our progress.;)
     
  26. Atta Boy!-Good on you guys for gettin' together and helpin' your buddy out!!
    Your hearts are in the right place-Glad you posted it up on a website for everyone to see.
    Those that criticise your website may have missed the point but are free to build and maintain their own website any way they choose.

    Thanks for your comment. As for the comment on the website, I have never nor has anyone in our club built a website so this is our first try. I am the one who built it but with the help and input of the whole club. This is what we wanted we think. Now I thank anyone who wants to give us tips and input. As for the music we like it and I also turned it down a little. Thanks again for the input. :cool:
     
  28. Congratulations on you guys stepping up to help someone else,,very commendable.

    As for the music,your not going to please everybody that's why there is so many different categories of music,,I'm an old fart and I have heard Smokey and the Bandit thousands of times doesn't bother me, you guys like it and it's your site so keep up the good work. HRP
