Allen;

On the fisher body sheet: The Body Number, Upper Body Color, and Lower Body Color from the sheet match the trim tag? Is the form number 44-1782?

The build sheets were printed by computer and computers are not perfect either. C08 would have meant that the body would have been fabricated for a vinyl top. The top of the quarter panel was finished differently and would have had the studs for the trim. What is the upper and lower color? If it is two tone, it is possible that C08 is what they used to get the moulding between the colors? Does your car have the B80 Bright drip rails? I would like to see your sheet, it sounds interesting!

My battery cable is also bolted to the block.

I've started a new discussion since this one sort-of deviated. Yes, the form that I saw those codes on is #44-1782

I watched the video tonight. It already was about 3 hours long. I now saw I didn't have video of the car back together. I'll go outside tomorrow and add this to the tape. I'll try to remember to get the things I missed. For you who want a copy, anything you specifically want to see? Tell me now before I'm done and send off a tape. I'll for sure try to get the alternator bracket and rear end if I can get under the car.

Ron, I like to see close up shots of detail items such as inspection marks, attachment points, detailed trunk shots, undercarriage shots, factory sound deadener etc. I am more interested in original shots of these than restored pictures for obvious reasons but interested none the less. At 3 hours long, I think it safe to assume that you pretty much got it all. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img]

I did get a lot of interesting shots which won't be published in Nova Times. Mostly because of the number of pictures I have and at what point it becomes boring to the subscribers. I will say I have more unrestored pictures than unrestored video. I moved around alot on the video since I did the video just for my records and not as a documentary. I mostly have done this as a driver hence I left the wild candy apple blue metal flake paint on. The car is originally Cortez Silver. I won't restore it as a gold spinner car since I want to drive it. I already have one that I don't want to drive. I'm with the crowd now that wants to drive the car. I checked on shooting video of the unrestored pictures I took and it looks like it will work. This will really increase the video length. I think I have a total of 600 to 700 pictures. I had a friend with a digital camera come today and take a couple of pictures of the car and I'll hopefully try to post them. (I'll keep my fingers crossed.)

Ron;

I had proposed to do an "In Detail" Picture CD for NNN this past fall. I had used the B&W pictures of Dave Belk's Yenko as the prototype. I would include high resolution color pictures and a description of the action like in Nova times. I would be willing to do that same thing with your pictures (and maybe video) for you. Since this is a limited audience I could put it together and send it out at no cost on CD.

I will upload the prototype to the web this weekend for you to look at. It will only be there for a short time, since it is using copyrighted material which I have no right to use. If any one else wants to use pictures of their supercar, I could ask Tom to use the Supercar Registry logo.

I would need copies of your pictures to scan into the computer. This maybe an easier way to distribute your hundreds of pictures. I will let you know when the prototype is loaded on the web.

BTW, It could be a great fund raiser for this board or others if it gets really popular, which is why a came up with it for NNN. A cool way to see detail of other restorations.

Greg,
Sounds good. Did you get my e-mail with digital photos? I also sent them to SS427. Did either of you get them? I just got a feeling I messed it up. I tried to post it here but it said the file was too big. I could send you my binders with the pictures in them. Risky though. Maybe contact Wayne at NNN since they're done with a lot of them. If Wayne needs my permission let me know. The video of the pictures turned out nice. I just couldn't get much video of the underside of the car now. I need it up on a hoist. I'm done with the video so all interested send me an e-mail of where to send it to.
