Location: Pittsburgh, PA | Today is our web site's 10th anniversary!
MoPar people are by far the most helpful & knowledgable in the classic car world. I am continuously amazed at all of you; how every day you all go out of your way to dig out dusty parts books, production records, and tech manuals to help each other out. Kudos to everyone out there who takes the time to make the site what it is today. You all deserve a big round of applause.
The annual special thanks go out to:
- Benny Pultanovich, who taught me the importance of a network of fellow Forward-Look'ers
- Todd St. Clair, for suggesting the very idea of this mailing list & web site
- Tony Lindsey, for providing his "Seven important tips for running a mailing list" (FABULOUS advice, Tony!)
- Todd St. Clair, Daniel Andersson, Richard Zapata, Jerry Bramlett, Bill McEntee, Josh Ackerman, David Wallace, Glenn LaGasse, Stein Erik Tveter, Jim Wilson, Daniel Petterzon, Ed & Jan Siarkowicz, and Pete Johnson - Our "Charter" Members (most of whom are still with us today!) |

Location: Snohomish, WA. | Happy 10th back at you, Dave (and Julie, who has probably put up with a lot as well).
Through the ups, downs, and in-between times..... the petty upsets and the major downfalls...... I can't go too many days without logging in to see what's going on.
This IS a special Mopar place.

Location: The Mile High City | Hi, Dave:
Congratulations, thank you, and happy anniversary! Here's to another decade as successful as the first! Reflecting back on the last ten years, what were the milestones? What was the most often-viewed thread? Who has the most postings? What was the first post?
Thanks for listing the charter members, that is good to know!
Cheers,
Mike

My friends who have cars other than the finned variety, often comment that they wish they had as much interaction with like owners as us 55-61 Mopar folks do. ( I am always telling them something that is going on here). I tell them that in LARGE part, it is because we have the BEST website there is!!!--FORWARDLOOK ing to the next 10 years ..................................MO

Location: new york | Back in 1980 when I got my 1st FL a 1959 dodge ,all anyone knew and wanted were Chebys and Fords .And for many years I would pull into shows or cruise nights and be the only FL mopar around . Theres still not tons of them around but thanks to this great web site I can see talk to and listen to a whole lot of Mopar guys like me. A common interest in these cars makes for great fellowship and and many years of enjoyment of this great hobby .Thanks for keeping up the GREAT WORK and as always HAPPY MOTORING!!!!Victor..

Location: bishop, ca | I was able to get my car, as inexpensively as I did, BECAUSE there was no FWDLK website (and no internet!) back in 1980.
Ron Waters brow-beat/jaw-boned me into joining-up; BEST thing he ever did for me!
Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Stragand (on the site & on your boy!)

Location: Slidell La. | To Dave and Julie , thank you for the forsight to start this site . Without this site , I would have probably been driving a Chevy by now , if I never could have found this great group of enthusists and the source of info sharing to keep my car on the road . Your names will be mentioned in history for the preservation of the ForwardLookers . A friend of mine is a walking encyclopedia (?) for Ford . He is on the Board for a group called Comets East , Everytime I show him a thread on our site , his jaw drops at how our/your site is so nice and laid out . Keep up the good work . God has blessed you and you wife with patience . Thank You . |

Location: Fayetteville, NC | Dave,
I will never forget you inviting me to join the Forwardlook email list and later the website when my 58 Plymouth project was still a work in progress. I believe it was my second trip to then Chryslers at Carlisle (before they changed the name). Was it 10 years ago? What a change you and the email list and website have made. As I remember during my first Chryslers at Carlisle there were two or three forwardlook cars and one of those a 58 Plymouth Christine which won first in class. Now the grounds are covered with hundreds of forwardlook cars (including mine for the last two years) and I believe the email list and later the website you started was a big reason for the big change in the number of forwardlook cars now seen at Carlisle each year.
Thanks again for all you put together!!!

Location: Farmingdale NJ | Dave, enjoy the thanks your getting. It isnt said enough. This is truly a special site, with special people. None of them would have met and shared the knowledge and love of these cars if you had not persevered into this creation you named the Forwardlook.net. My deepest thanks.

| Thank you, Dave (et al)...
I'm certain that I speak for many others when I offer this thought:
Our cars (and our lives, for that matter) have greatly improved over the years as a direct result of your dedication to this wild bunch.
From the bottom of our TorqueFlites, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO!
