Leavin the FTE !!!

WELL NOT COMPLETELY... but I'm moving my home page. Had too many problems trying to access the server and then uploading/downloading files. Takes weeks to be a ticket worked and a solution found... The admins do a great job but tech support don't have their blood in it like Ken used to. I really don't think they have anyone that even remembers CLUBFTE. not many of us oldtimers left.

Everything is pretty much the same with a couple new articles... and maybe some more coming...

New page address is John Niolon's 1953 F-100 Ford Truck Page

change your bookmarks and yall come up and see me sometime !!

later,

John

Thanks for the heads-up, John. I've been a fan of yours since I joined. I especially found "Trials of a First-Time Builder" helpful.

I bookmarked ya.

Your thread title scared me for a moment, tho.

John, I hope you visit FTE occasionally. We will miss you if you don't come by from time to time. I have printed out several of your articles over the years. Especially enjoyed the one on drive shaft angles, and rear end alignment as it relates to engine angles. Joe.

John, thanks for all your input and especially the article on the trials of "Trials of a First-Time Builder" I read in Custom Classic trucks mag many years ago, it was what got me going on my build.
I too have your page bookmarked.
Good luck!

I have it bookmarked now. Thanks for the heads up, John.

on another note, i too have been experiencing site issues. I submitted a ticket but haven't heard back. The issues i am seeing are the need to click on links twice to get the FTE server to respond. I see a sign in the bottom left of the IE window that says waiting for FTE Server to respond. I have also been having troubles uploading pics that are within the size limits. I've seen the same issues on different computers on different internet providers. sigh.

That's a very nice site you have. I didn't know you had that many articles.

Jack,
that's part of the reason for the move also... the articles we write get buried with the ford corporate propoganda... like the features of the new 2011s and the sema show pics/details...

the tech stuff is what you have to dig for.. most everything I've written is on my page, I even moved some of my stuff from the FTE over...

commercialism has taken over what used to be a 'ford family' site... it's still the best ford site around... but it's gotten too big in lots of ways...

John,

It was your articles on the Mustang tank install and how to plan an old truck build that led me to FTE in the first place. It was your wisdom and kindness along with George, Randy Jack, Himmelberg, fatfenders and several others that got me from lurking to joining in.

I have bookmarked your new site. Thanks

Bobby
