The Headbadge - Schwinn Paramount Registry still active?
Sent info on my Paramount to the registry over two weeks ago and no response. Just wondering if anyone knows if the site is still active.

The site owner is forum member cudak888, AKA Kurt.
He was a prolific poster here until he got bit by the vintage Ford Mustang bug. His last post was about a year ago, but his last check in was about 6 weeks ago.
You may want to send him an email thru his Bike Forums email link.

Yep, and to top it off the last one he got does not run at all, the engine is toast.

@cudak888 might be planning his next video short. Kurt did always have a thing for speedy cars and tongue-in-cheek plot lines. I can easily spot his creativity kicking into high gear (sic. ) from the above picture. The "1968" tag with the devil's tail heart and the "Clifford" like plush toy out the back window are clues. Are there any more?

I presently have an entire inbox of backed-up Paramount entries that I know I'll never get to - I should put a notice on the site to that effect.
I wouldn't mind changing The Headbadge to a Wordpress-based site where I can accept new entries directly from a form box and approve them as they come in (thus allowing each new entry to populate directly from the database rather than write the new HTML), but this would require digging up a theme and actually putting the site together. Right now, that so happens to be a daily activity at my 9-to-5; thus doing the same nonsense over the weekend sounds less than appealing.
I can't say that I'm going straight for Hollywood with the Mopar fleet, as I did have to get rid of the rotted-out '72 Mustang (which would have made a perfect Eleanor, e.g., sequel trailer to the 1974 Gone in 60 Seconds film) for the pile of lugnuts that is the '68. I'm not complaining though - it'll be a fun project, even though I did pay through the nose for it. So be it, I'm not going to let it spoil my fun. Anyone have a '92-02 Dodge kicking around with a spare Magnum 5.9 (MPFI) engine they'd like to part with?

P.S.: If Gavin Govier didn't put a seal of approval on a Pentastar product himself, Mike doesn't like it. Rimshot.

That would be great if you would put a notice on the site so others don't waste their time going thru the trouble of submitting.

In the meantime, if there's anyone here with good PHP knowledge (relating to Wordpress) and thinks they have the ability to use the hooks in the plugin ACF (Advanced Custom Fields) to make fields conditional, please let me know if you'd be willing to assist.
Either that, or custom field entries through an entirely new plugin would work too.
