  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Condolences to his family and friends. Met him about a year ago as I went through Sierra Vista and picked up some parts. I went to high school and after in Phoenix when he was living there but didn't have any common acquaintances.

    Just heard about Joe's passing three days ago. I've known him for twenty years. Met him on some early internet forum in the early 00's. Joe worked for the McClure father / son team of DVAP in their early days. Likely pre-early "Desert Car Kings" timeframe. He did counter work, did Spanish translation, and did title transfers and checks. He later did his own business, full time. Hauled more than one carcass out to him, to be "sliced and diced" with spot weld removal. He was dialed into the metal section market, I tried it, and found it to be too difficult to generate reasonable income. Joe knew how to tap into the annual Phoenix classic shows (Barrett-Jackson & Mecum) for contacts and customers. He was one of a kind, and will be missed. Godspeed, Joe.

    So sorry to hear. I had a couple nice chats with Joe, and he helped me out big time with some super nice dry structural so hard to find parts for one of my 68's. I was amazed at his packing skills, with getting all the pieces neatly put into one big box! He will be missed for sure RIP
