Article about cam swap in new bronco driver

I dont' care how he did it. It's his to do with at he pleases, hell if he wants to use a crane and tear the hood off it to add a quart of oil, it's his to do with as he pleases. What's the difference in this and the million other things that people do to their rigs?

While I am a big proponent of MYOB, I still reserve my right to make fun of said guy and then make like Kurt Vonnegut and laugh like hell.

My opinion, for what it's worth is that cutting the grille is a legitimate way to r&r a cam. Anybody who has basic skills in body work can weld the cut piece back in place, smooth it out, paint it and it's good as before it was cut. Seen it done and you couldn't even tell. According to the article that's what was done. Give the poor guy a break.

Read the thread above again. The name calling did not start until you chimed in?

Yeah, duh, no shit, since I was the 2nd person to comment in this thread, which would make your statement true no matter if the name calling was done by the 3rd or the 30th contributor. ;D

I see everyone waiting on pins and needles for days for their Bronco Driver magazine to arrive. Then, everyone gets their magazines and reads them, then the vultures come out and attack the guy over his style and methodology of how to do a certain job. He's gone to the trouble to write an article for the same magazine everyone has been waiting breathlessly to arrive, so they can bust his chops for contributing. Talk about lunacy, drugs, and alcohol.
As I said earlier, I would not cut my grill or do it the way he did it. But i'm not going to call him names or degrade him over his style or methods. For all any of us knows, he might have a NOS grill sitting in the corner for when he moves on to body work sometime in the future.
Once again, I call bullshit on it because if he's a silent member here, you can bet your ass he will never again be inclined to contribute to THAT magazine.
You grumble because you want more content in the magazine but this is how you treat contributors?
Dusty, you sorta missed the point, thinking I want to start another thread or am one to insult every article in the magazine. That's why I defined it as sarcasm, so you would "get it". But you clearly defend this thread and it's intent, and other past examples of the same behavior.
It's one thing to say: "thats not how I would do it" but it becomes offensive to start calling the guy names and degrading him in some act of arrogant superiority just because it's not how you would do it.

AWWww Jeez! %)
So everyone that takes the time to do a write-up gets a free pass from a LITTLE criticism? And we are not allowed to have a different opinion and then voice it on an internet forum?
I think you are WAY overreacting!

If I had to swap my cam right now, I would take the approach they took in the magazine.

My grill is in real bad shape, but I'm not yet ready to spend the coin to get a new one. I plan on getting a new one, just not right now. I would cut a hole in my bad one, swap the cam, and run the ratty grill for a few more months. If I took my rusty grill off it would probably never go back on.
