Location: Parts Unknown		Since my life now revolves around getting the shop built for my cars, it is a daily process of little steps.

Finish graded all the sub-ground outside the foundation during the evenings after work over the last week. Rented a big Bobcat and had 13 yard of 5/8-minus crushed delivered on Friday. Finish graded the interior of the shop and then spread gravel. Saturday was OK weather, but today it rained ALL day ! It was cold and miserable.

Tomorrow - continue framing the exterior walls - about 1/3 to go - and then sheet and prepare to roll the roof. Getting close !

Location: cornpatch county, Southwest IOA		We are enjoying "Indian Summer" this week. temps in the low 70's. This won't last much longer till Winter sets on. We got our 56 Chrysler out of the garage where it has been sitting for a few weeks. Then we took a leisurly ride into the paved backroads of Missouri. It's fun to take a road we never been on before and just see where it goes. We came accross several colonys of electric generator windmills . Watching them is as cool as watching a kite fly. Then we traveled through some Amish communities. Topped off the day at the best pizza joint around , where we met up with some friends---Yup, these kind of days are numbered for the rest of this year..........................MO

Location: Eastern Iowa		Same here!! Got the F out and rinsed her off. Spread the car cover over the clothesline and beat the dust out of it. Cleaned and swept out the garage.
Then we loaded the Grandaughters up and went for a cruise and watched the combines roll. Corn and bean harvest is way behind cuz of the rain last month.

Swung by Dairy Queen on the way home for treats than it was back under the covers for the next 5 months probably!!

Location: DFW, TX		Sunday I met a friend from California at a local car show, then went to the Fort Worth Stockyards to cruise around a bit and see the tourist-y sights. Then went to a hole-in-the-wall BBQ joint for some real Texas barbecue served up by bikini girls and washed it down with a few suds. And of course this has to do with Forward Look because we were in my beater wagon.

Sunday pulled the Chrysler out of the garage and reorganized my workspace. About to get serious with that one-

Location: Netherlands		Installed a Weiand dual quad intake on the poly in my '57.
Swapped the front wheels for something with more chrome on them.
Also found that I need 2 floorjacks to jack up my '57.
First I put a smaller jack under the front subframe to bring up the nose of the car somewhat so the larger jack can fit under the chassis. Otherwise it's too low

Location: Heaven Above (Formerly Oklahoma City,OK)		A 4X4 block cut at a 45 degree angle works wonders on almost any slope and doesn't kill too much trunk space. I did see a blond put a block in front of her front tire once. The car was facing UP HILL. When asked why not BEHIND the fron wheel, she said she did not want the car to roll uphill into the car she parked behind? Go Figure????????????????

Right now it's only for the looks, but later on I'll try to rebuild it for FM, if possible with the electric motor for the search function.

Location: bishop, ca		Sven, you can always buy a vintage (Motorola, or some-such-) FM converter and wire/plug it into the radio, to get AM/FM
reception, and the vintage converter will look cool, sitting there under the dash.

The FM converter will also allow you to receive satellite radio signals, and to play 'them' thru the car's speaker system,
while impressing your friends and riders with the radio's signal-seeking operation.

Location: Netherlands		Spent some of yesterday and the entire say today on McGyvering a dual quad throttle linkage for the '57's poly motor.
Halfway through the day I found I had made an error in the 'design', so I had to go a few steps back to re-do most of the work.
Anyway the linkage is fully functional now operating the two Carter AFB carbs on the motor.
After reconnecting everything again tomorrow I'll take it out for a testdrive.

If so can you re-use the new upholstery for the swivel seats ? I would think there is probably enough. The arm rest section is not covered with cloth but all vinyl.

Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada		Neil, How do you get satellite radio from an FM converter ? Also, since the AM radio has to be tuned to a certain frequency, the search tune feature is redundant when you have one of these wired in. I Had one of these under the dash in the 300 for a while but found the reception to be quite poor. I now have a modern AM-FM/ CD player under the dash, left side of the steering column on the Saratoga ( where the factory floor A/C vent would be mounted ) and play it through the front and rear speakers. It sounds great, has good reception, and I am thinking about making a fake "A/C vent cover" to swivel over the front of the unit.

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		Yes Ian, might sound stupid, but the swivel seats has been kind of a dream for me. In fact, it has been so planned that I even ordered more fabric and vinyl then I needed for to re-upholster the car. Now I have the seats and the material, so the original bench seat will be nicely packed and kept "just in case".

Location: Netherlands		One step closer to completion;



I hoped I was able to take the car for a spin last sunday but this McGyvering-stuff is taking up way more time then I had imagined.
Later on I'll shorten the hard fuel line a bit for placement of a fuelfilter.
I also want to rewire the ignition's neutral-safety vacuumswitch-wires, as the switch didn't work anyway and it's wiring had already been bypassed by someone.
Next thing to do is to also rewire the ign.coil as it's only getting about 4-5 volts with the current balast resisitor in place.
After that it's time to build a suitable aircleaner unit for this combo.

Location: Yorba Linda, Ca		There is a guy in Sweden, Wizard that converts these radios to FM. The 58 Oldsmobile that Börje has (It has what they call the "Picnic Radio" ---it pulls out of the dash and has it's own batteries and speaker for "picknicking" When you push the radio back in the dash, it connects to the car's speakers and cars power supply. Anyway a guy in Sweden converted that radio to FM, works great. He also has a spare that is AM.
If you are interested I can find out, who the guys is that converts them from Börje.

To stay "On topic" I took a cruise today in the 59, It was 81F , here today or about 27C

Location: bishop, ca		Ian; it's very simple: Sirius/XM radio broadcasts down upon the planet; to receive it, you find a place on the FM dial
where there is no other FM signal, and you tell the portable Satellite receiver (oops--there's the rub---) that plugs into
your cigarette lighter, to what station that IT should broadcast-to, so that the FM converter can receive that signal
and, then, it will transmit the satellite signal to the AM radio via a co-ax wire connection between the AM radio and the
FM converter.

The AM radio, receiving the (satellite) AM-signal, from the FM converter, plays the signal thru the car's radio system--
in my case, via a fader switch for the front and the rear parcel shelf speakers.

...Forgot about mentioning that completely-portable satellite radio receiver (which can be moved-around between ANY
cars that can receive an FM radio signal).

Listened to satellite radio to/from Tulsa, in 2007.

OR: you can just find/buy a really cool FM converter, to install underneath your car's radio.
Best of both worlds--I'll PM you some pics of my car's set up.

Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada		Since we're still on radios, I installed a modern AM / FM / CD / MP3 / deck under the dash, to the left of the steering column. It is hooked up to a new set of matched 6-9 front and rear speakers, the factory radio is not connected to them any more. It plays / sounds good front to rear stereo, that is the left and right speaker wires are hooked up front to rear, respectively. Its not terribly intrusive looking and actually sits in the same place under the dash as the factory floor-air outlet would be installed if you have factory AC. I may try and make up a fake AC vent from stainless steel to mount over the front, for car shows. See pics

Location: Southern Sweden - Sturkö island		Looking at the pictures, I'd say that the original AC vent should cover the stereo nicely - if not, eventually mounted on a slightly larger stainless steel plate with hinges, so it could be opened. I'm thinking of to solder a multiple cable between the front contacts in my stereo, to the contacts on the removable stereo front. That would allow me to mount the stereo under the seat and still have the front panel easy accessable (stored on the tunnel under the middle of the seat?) The problem at the moment is that I still have not found a soft 9 part cable suitable for this. Also, I don't know if the extra resistance will cause any problems?

and pretend that they're driving them???

I'd do a LOT of that, with your car, for sure!

the buttons in my ex 61 desoto are transparent plastic and i think they were meant to light up but the tiny 6w bulb in the radio just isn't strong enough so i put a couple of big green leds behind the buttons. looks great now, like a jukebox!

cars, pretending to drive them.....?)
