Fred did mine about 10 years ago, still looks perfect...I scratched out a small “FT” on a corner of the back side

     I still have a TR3 instrument panel to install that was powder coated by Fred Thomas.

When I joined this list 15 years ago everyone signed their name, type of car and it's chassis number. I am sad to see this no longer happens. It was helpful, say when I came across an unfamiliar item, that contacting a member with a close chassis number could clarify.

Over the years my knowledge of my TR would not be where it is today without this list and the members who have helped so much with their hands on advice. I would like to thank you all past and present. 

I personally prefer a mailing list although Forums do have their place.

I remember well Fred,s powder coating in depth threads. I never pursued it myself but it sure saved me a whole load of money negotiating the price with commercial powder coaters when cutting through their "BS" of how difficult it is too do. 

 

Signing in the old fashioned way.

  Hi Bill, 

   

  It appears to be the trend over the last few years that the mailing lists are on the decline, while the web-based forums (and now social media like Facebook) are increasing.

   

  I too have been around long enough to remember fluif, and rec.autos/rec.autos.british, even.

   

  I think if you join some of the forums you will see quite a few familiar names.  I think my favorite is BCF:
