Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
You still have it? That's really cool. There are surprisingly few things I still have from that far back. The Craftsman tool box from the thread about them a few weeks ago comes to mind. My machinist tools/box from High School is from the same time period, but that's about it?
Oh, I do still have a commemorative Apollo 11 drinking glass that was a give-away from a gas station, before I could drive. Somehow that survived all of the moves? I'll probably remember something so common that I'm not thinking of it right now.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Yeah its weird I have something from back then, considering Im 61 now.
I saved a lot of my sons things from when they were young, one will be 40 this year and the other will be 39. They have just shy of zero interest in most of the stuff lol.

I snapped a shot of this. My beautiful daughter sent me this cigarette lighter. I guess she knows her old mans taste... Morbid.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
well now,i want to be just like you when i grow up??i was at the doc the other day,he says he has a new hi-tech scale that talks to you when you step on it.i step on and right a voice comes out of the scale and says "one at a time please" .the doc said it wouldn't hurt you,you know to miss a meal every now and then.i said you're probably right but there's no sense risking it? enjoy the ice cream,i'll bet it's yummy.

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Thanks. It is a Factory Five. Took a long time to build as I was travelling a lot for work during the build time.

I bought the Factory Five assembly manual when I retired in 1998 and still have it, it was $50 at that time.. This came into the mix and won out..... I'm not sure if the assembly manual is even usable now. LockDoc

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
I was looking at the Factory Five car kits. One thing that helped tip the scales to new floors was that California will only allow 500 kits a year to be registered new. I think I got that right. So, if you didn't get yours registered the first day that the DMV is open in a new year, you have to wait. I was working in Florida at the time, maybe I could have registered it there and then brought it into the state, but that may have not worked either.

And we all know how much California likes to take more money. That's a beautiful Skyliner Leon. Maybe you can answer a question for me. It might be an old wives tale but I've heard that if the roof on a Skyliner gets stuck when it's down position that you cant get to the mechanism to get it to go back up because it's stuck under the roof. It's like that on my Porsche. If the battery goes dead. The battery is under the front hood or trunk or whatever you want to call it. It's controlled by an electronic switch to open it. No battery=no switch. And no backup. (ask me how I know) I had to hook a battery charger to the fuse box to pop the trunk to get to the battery. It's a terrible design. ![]()

It depends on what the problem is. When I first got it the roof wouldn't raise and I figured out that one of the solenoids was bad. Luckily all you have to do is remove the back of the rear seat cushion and all of the solenoids are located in a metal box there. I just used a heavy jumper wire and shorted across to the top circuit and raised it. If the deck lid won't release there are access holes under the trunk pan and you can insert a socket on a long extension and unscrew the locking mechanisms on it. I had a wire get pinched under the passengers side, top lift arm, and it was a pain to get fixed. Not much room to work when the top is nested into the trunk. The '57 Skyliner top has seven reversible electric motors, four lift jacks, a series of relays, ten limit switches, ten solenoids, four locking mechanisms for the roof and two locking mechanisms for the trunk lid, and a total of 610 ft of wiring. I have always been able to get the problems taken care of without using any destructive means.... ![]() LockDoc

Re: Random Photos ‘You took’
Dont know how many times the roof on the 60 Thunderbird we have got stuck half way . Trunk open roof halfway down . Have to play with the relays and limit switches jumping things to get it up or all the way down . Most times it's because the battery is low been meaning to change out the generator to an alternator .Someone makes a printed circuit board but its pricey .
