Ken...I'm sure there are a BUNCH of us that would like to know. As a matter of fact, I'm waiting to renew here until I do see what happened.

I'm not trying to be a S'disturber but if this whole bad feelings thing began w/ Ken's hammering on the L89 Nova threads, I gotta' commend him for seeking the truth and not making it easy for anyone to authenticate anything here...ever!.

I've all confidence in SCW Brian and many others here too but have to admit I've never been able to shake the feeling the chance exists that the so called facts laid out for his blessing were contrived ahead of his seeing the car dissassembled?.
Many of us here could be tricked or knowing what we do trick other knowledgable fellas if we chose to do so..
That said, maybe the above statement is wrong and the L89 a total genuine real-deal!.
Lets hope so and debate it to death if necessary to prove this beyond all doubt!

This site rocks largely because it stands up for the truth when others let things slide and I hope it continues to do so forever!.
Is it too late everyone agrees to disagree about the bad feelings of late, let bygones be bygones, simply shake hands and all be friends again!.

We need you here Ken!.

I agree, I think the thread should have stayed. 1 of 1 is just fun stuff. more importantly, what a cool car. I am still bummed because another thread I liked (a guy had 2 sets of NOS white vintage appliance headers he had found) and that thread was removed right after I responded to it (probably was too interested).

I for one, will not be renewing my membership due to the way the sYc administrators have handled this whole ordeal.

Keeping in mind that this is an open forum, a paid member should have the right to express his opinion (providing he or she doesn't post profanity or pictures of a pornographic nature) regardless if it agrees with the opinion of the administration or other members...that's what open forum discussion is all about. When administrators start deleting posts because they don't agree with them, or they might rub someone the wrong way, that is censorship and I want no part of it!

Kwhiz's contributions and threads relating to cars that he has built over the years, have been more valuable than any other single contributor in my opinion, and chasing him away over something so trivial, is just ridicules.

This whole thing started over the one of one Nova thread which still has not been resolved and even though the administration and some members were getting tired of reading about it, there were and are many more of us that were not and would still like the issues with that particular car resolved.

We miss you here Ken and I for one wish you the very best!

Well said. I couldn't agree more.

I am novice compared to the senior contributors on this site (kwhizz). I am getting by without the stars under my ID. The way I was treated on a simple yenko color question after finding a real daytona yellow chevelle did it for me (see no reason to pay). as a free site, its a fine site.

That's it in a nutshell. I was originally of the impression this was a site where you could swap information and debate the merits of specific cars and specific equipment without fear of reprisal, particularly from advertisers. The truth is, in my time I've seen some very good magazines capitulate to the needs (demands) of advertisers, without giving the readers (the folks who actually support the thing) any consideration. You can see the results on the newsstand today. Now I'm now wondering if it was a mistake to join, pay for the membership and actually post questions and answers on this board.

With apologies to the mods and the Clary's...


I know Ken very well...and I know the moderators and everyone else that was involved with this...from the start.

I think that there were some misconceptions about what was meant...what was actually said...and what they end result was.

Ken only questioned the legitimacy of the car (which I don't think should be a problem) due to the fact that some things didn't add up....at least to him and quite a few others.

Ken asked the owner to explain, which the owner chose not to do (which is his right). I'll admit, there were some stupid comments made in the posts...but NONE of them were by Ken. Ken stuck to the need for info.

I think that the posts may have gone on too long...but it was about finding out if a car was real. I found it very intersting to read...as I don't have a clue about 840 heads (or whatever they are) or what heads came on what...so to me it was a learing experience. The knowledge on this site is one of the big reasons that people come here.

The other big reason that people come here is the ability to make friends easily and not be intimidated.

Face it, there are PLENTY of other sites around where that type of BS occurs.

I am saddened that we have lost one of the good guys...to something I think that could have been taken care of in a different way...with different results.

I am sure that when Ken decides to tell his side of things...it will be as it happened.

Sorry to see you go Ken. Hopefully I will see you in Ca. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

I thought the 1 of 1 was good for the site. I appreciated some of those compelling facts which were shared. I'm sorry to see things turn sour and the discussion discontinued on here.

I'm not sure if I agree with you Bruce about Ken's side being exactally as it happened though. I'd bet we could hear the sYc side of the story and Ken's then find the truth somewhere in the middle. Regardless of who is more right here, losing Ken's perspective on here sucks.
