I know that Wilcox doesn't sponsor the tech section, but the information in the Wilcox video thread should be a sticky because it has videos with technical do it your self know how. I want to know what forum members believe the same thing, it's not that Wilcox is fighting to steal the attention away from the sponsor of c3 tech ( GOD bless the c3 tech sponsor) but actually made tech videos for forum members to view at no cost to the member. I for one think that the wilcox thread should be a sticky. You should know that i am in no way affiliated with wilcox, other than buying 3 parts from them. Who thinks the same? Please post in support of a video sticky.

Thanks
Blue

Hell yea! Thank you. This thread is not to disrespect the sponsor of c3 tech, nor is it to give undue recognition to wilcox, but what wilcox has done has got my respect and appreciation and knowledge like this should neednt to be bumped monthly it deserves to be a sticky and because of political circumstances it's not, it's a forum for the members were sponsors get to promote themself's to us, if other sponsors have this kind of video knowledge then they should post it for us, as some of need it drawn out in crayon and video's make it that much better.

I've always thought Willcox's how-to videos should be.

Default Willcox

I have received a tremendous amount of help from Willcox rebuilding my 68 and for earlier cars I've had. They offer this help to any and all forum members with no restrictions and their tech knowledge is unbelievable. No pressure to buy anything from them and even have great patience with some of our ineptitude!! Willcox is an important factor in our hobby and should be given any access needed to continue to help all of us

Yes, it would be a good item for a sticky. In fact, there is no reason that a sticky should only come from sponsors, other than the Forum rules. These videos and more than useful, especially for someone like me who has trouble following even the simplest written instructions. I have bookmarked the thread for future reference.

It just can’t be done... I'm sorry...

Yes I’m a Premium Supporting Vendor, but I’m not a thread sponsoring vendor. I missed out on this; all the category forum thread sponsorships were all taken when I signed up.

While I appreciate all the kind words, putting my thread as a sticky would possibly endanger one of the other sponsorships. One of the things agreed upon when you sign up as a thread supporting sponsor is your ability to post sticky threads yourself and that would be a direct conflict.

I will still continue to post videos in my video thread and I’ll keep posting info and helping you all as time permits.

Thank you for all your support.

Willcox
