    Posting examples of work by non-supporting vendors

    One of the main reasons this forum was created was to protect the cottage industry surrounding Factory Five. We set initial vendor rates extremely low to give start ups and those hit hard by the current economy a chance to advertize their work for potential customers. Over on the FFCars.com site several non-supporting vendors have circumvented this by having customers post pics of their work and mention their name but provide no link to the vendor. Then those interested in working with the vendor could do so via PM. This in blatantly unfair to those vendors who choose to support the site and it will not be tolerated here.

    We will delete posts that we decide are attempts to advertize without supporting this site. If it happens repeatedly, infractions will be given, up to and including being banned from the site.

    Just to be clear, we don't want to discourage posting about work done by folks using vendors who are unknown to this site. Posting about an unknown vendor you have found who did innovative work on your build is still allowed. But repeated posts/threads about non-supporting vendors will be subject to the rules mentioned above. At just $10/month, even the smallest vendor - or potential vendor - can afford to support this site in order to show their work or use the user base to help develop a product.

    Thank you for your understanding on this issue. As ever, comments/questions are welcome, so if any of th above is unclear, feel free to post here or contact any Mod by PM if clarification is needed.

    If you are interested in supporting this site by becoming a supporting vendor, please see this page:

    Is there a supporting vender that does chrome work. I just got my 33 kit and am wondering what it should cost to have the grill chromed?
    Thanks Brian K

    Good post David. A forum's relationship with the vendors says a lot about the character of those running the forum.

    To any guys making, or considering making, some parts for sale: Many have done it in the past and sold the parts through a vendor. It grows their inventory at low cost and saves you the hassle of direct sales. Some of the best mods available came about that way.
    MKII "Little Boy". 432CI all aluminum Windsor. .699 solid roller, DA Koni shocks, aluminum IRS, Straight cut dog ring T-5, 13" four piston Brembos, Bogart wheels. BOOM!
