1955 Oldsmobile Headlight Rings - Customizing LightWritten by Gerry Burger on July 1, 2011 Few headlight rings can compete with the '55 Oldsmobile
In the world of customizing there are certain elements that just seem to be nearly universal by design. If you are looking for side trim the '53 Buick and '55 Pontiac come to mind; rear lighting can often be handled by a '56 Packard, '56 Buick, or '59 Caddy; and when it comes to headlights the '55 Oldsmobile headlight ring seems to look good attached to any fender built between 1949 and 1955.
Beyond the intrinsic beauty of these rings the modification often makes more sense than the traditional Frenched headlights. When properly installed the 1955 Oldsmobile headlight rings will allow for standard headlight adjustment from the front of the fender. Replacing a sealed beam is no more difficult than it would be on any factory stock '50s car. The thin headlight ring has a slight brow built in and that bit of chrome on the end of the front fender adds a touch of elegance that is simply missing on many early '50s Fords and Chevrolets.
During a recent trip to Rodcrafters in Welcome, North Carolina, we followed along as Larry Shoaf installed a set of '55 Oldsmobile headlights on a '51 Ford owned by John Kocsis. While our project car happens to be a shoebox Ford, the principles and installation theory should be very similar for any early '50s car from a Chevrolet to a Hudson.
The really cool part about the installation is the original fender remains uncut and a new brow is simply formed and welded in place on the fender. This allows the headlight placement to be on the same plane as the original fender and also provides a handy mounting flange for the new headlight bucket.
After removing the stock Ford headlight ring we held the '55 Olds unit in place and it quickly became apparent that with a wrap of cardboard and masking tape around the sealed beam the bezel could be pressed into place. This gave us a chance to "eyeball" the location and if the sealed beams remained in the stock location the Olds headlight ring would actually extend the fender over 1 inch. That could be a desirable look in some cases, but after mocking up the area with poster board it was decided that the car took on an unpleasant bug-eyed look and so we decided to move the stock sealed beam rearward in the Ford fender and then install the Olds headlight ring in basically the same locations as the original Ford ring. The only extension to the forward line of the fender was the brow the Olds headlight ring provides.
By moving the sealed beam rearward in the fender 1 inch the bottom of the Olds ring was almost flush with the face of the fender and the filler panel and yet the sealed beam can still be changed from the front of the car and all factory headlight adjustment screws remain fully functional.
The only downside to this project is the availability of '55 Olds headlight rings. Since reproduction units are not available, you must search boneyards, swap meets, and the Internet for a good set of rings. Beyond that it is basic sheetmetal work and the results are well worth the effort. If your goal is to improve the look of your '50s car with a timeless customizing trick, few modifications are more likely to achieve that goal than a pair of '55 Olds headlights.

A wrap of cardboard and masking tape would shim the headlight enough to hold the '55 Olds ring in place. This was important for our initial visualization of the installation.Here's a clear illustration of the sheetmetal that must be formed to fill the void between the new headlight ring and the original fender. We are mocking things up with the headlights in stock position. The car had a bit of a bug-eyed look so the sealed beam was moved back in the fender 1 inch and the ring move rearward the same amount.The cardboard holds the ring in place while Larry Shoaf rotated the ring until it was vertical in the fender. This is an important step to keeping the rings properly oriented with the fender.After making an accurate template from poster board, Shoaf transfers the shape to a piece of 18-gauge steel. At first glance this may not look like the filler piece, but with some bending it will fill the void.From the outside the gap is apparent. Note that the fender "drops off" toward the front of the car. The new headlight ring panel will eliminate most of that radius. By leaving the fender intact the headlight positioning was guaranteed to be in the factory location and the mounting of the headlight bucket also employed the original mounting flange.Using an open-throat rotary shear is the easiest way to cut contour lines in sheetmetal. Working carefully the pattern is cut out, leaving no distortion on the cut panel. These shears are available from sources like Woodward Fab.Here is the finished product for the passenger side of the car. This piece will fit the new Olds headlight ring and provide the transition to the stock '51 Ford fender.When it comes time to shape the piece it can be done right on the fender. First find a center line on the new panel that matches the centerline on the Olds headlight ring and the top of the fender. Align those marks and begin contouring the metal by gently pushing down around the fender.
On the inside of the fender the bends become a bit more difficult as the metal must wrap around the ring and also have a slight flare to make a clean radius where it blends into the fender. Once again, bend, test-fit, bend, and test-fit.As we mentioned earlier the headlight was moved back into the fender 1 inch to eliminate any bug-eye look to our installation. The new sheetmetal filler panels placed the headlight ring in the proper position; we had to mount the headlight bucket rearward the same amount. After breaking a 90-degree angle on a piece of 18-gauge steel, a shrinker develops the radius.Shoaf continues the shrinking process until he has a diameter equal to the original '51 Ford headlight bucket. Keep the headlight bucket nearby and check the diameter as you shrink.The ring is complete and after careful test-fitting the ring is welded to the headlight bucket. There is no need to weld the entire circumference, just a series of 1/2-inch welds around the perimeter. This new extension effectively spaces the bucket rearward. The mounting holes can be transferred from the headlight bucket to the new spacer by drilling through the original holes into the new spacer. This ensures the headlight will be perfectly oriented to the original fender flange.While the fender extension is completed the extension requires a flat face for mounting the Olds headlight ring. A radius is made by shrinking 18-gauge metal to match the headlight ring.Because the headlight ring is not concentric, the face panels of the fender extension are made in pieces. The pieces are tack-welded to the extension, the headlight ring is test-fit, and then final welding can be cone. Rodcrafters prefers to TIG-weld sheetmetal for a more malleable weld.The original Ford headlight bucket with the fabricated spacer welded in place is installed from the rear of the fender, but the sealed beam will still be able to be adjusted and removed from the front of the car, something a lot of frenched headlights don't allow.Simple sheetmetal screws hold the headlight bucket in place and you can also see the face panels on the fender extensions have now been finish welded.
Of course it's imperative that both headlights be installed in exactly the same location so take your time doing the installation. In the end you will have vastly improved the look of your shoebox Ford.On the inside, the '55 Olds headlight ring almost touches the original fender, and yet the upper brow of the ring lends a nice extension to fender without protruding too much. This is simply a great modification for any '50s car.

Packed with love, 12 shoe boxes are now on their journey around the world to bless underprivileged kids during Christmas this year. Saturday, Nov. 17, a group of moms and kids got together at First Christian Church to prepare the boxes for Operation Christmas Child. Six girl boxes and six boy boxes will go to kids who often never receive gifts and do not know about Jesus, so the boxes are a great way for them to get toys and the message of God's love.

Hey all, just finished installing a new Zimbra server that I'm migrating from an old postfix gateway -> exchange 2003 system. So far things seem to be running very smooth. However, I'd like to get a look at postfix's logs, and I can't seem to find where it's logging. I've searched the forums and it seems to be that /var/log/zimbra.log is where it should be directed, yet I'm not seeing anything from postfix (or spamassassin, clamav, etc).
It would do wonders for my peace of mind if I could see these in action. Any ideas where to look?

Honey Stinger Organic Honey
28 Reviews
Vitamins, protein, and energy—plus the delicious taste of honey.
If you've ever done a 12 hour bike race or a long adventure race, you'd know that gels can only remain appetizing for so long. After a half day of slurping down semi-liquid nutrition products, you'll crave something that you can chew. Honey Stinger Energy Bars "feel" more like normal food, but they offer all of the easy-to-digest attributes of Honey Stinger Energy Gel.
Honey is nature's energy food. The bees that produce it have done the difficult work of transforming it into a just right blend of simple sugars that are easily and quickly digestible for us. This blend of glucose and fructose is 1:1 in honey and is the same as the fruit we eat. That's why honey is such a great endurance nutrition product -- it won't upset your stomach as you eat and continue on with your exertion.
Honey Stinger Energy Bars are made of at least 30% honey and offer 20% of your Daily allowance of protein along with 22 vitamins and minerals, calcium, and antioxidants. They come in a box of 15 bars and are available in four flavors -- Apple Cinammon, Berry Banana Buzz, Peanut Butter 'n Honey, and Rocket Chocolate.

Have questions about this product?
Delicious!! But...
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
...why oh why the yogurt coating?! Don't get me wrong, the coating and the bar are delicious. But the yogurt coating melts instantly upon placing in a jersey pocket. So when I open the bar while riding my hands get covered in goo. Yummy goo, but messy! I've only tried the berry banana flavor but all of the flavors appear to have a meltable coating. Like the waffles which are entirely too crumbly to be opened and eaten on the fly, honey stinger makes a delicious and vaguely nutritious (at least all natural?) energy product that misses a key detail: to compete with the likes of Powerbar or Clif, the product can't make a mess when I'm on the bike. Please take a cue from M&M's (melts in your mouth, not in your hand/pocket) or remove the coating entirely.
great taste
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
these are great bars to help you maintain your ride. the taste is great.
pretty fly (for a power bar)
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Personally, I dread opening power bars. They are no substitute for a real meal, and often turn into "lunch" when my friends and I don't want to stop for longer than a few minutes. This being said, these are as good as power bars ever will be. There are many bars that will cause me to instantly vomit, but these are tasty and can hold me off until I can get my hands on some legit food.
Too Good
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Well, Honey Stinger gone off and done it again with an energy product that tastes so good you'll have a hard time saving these for exercise. It's like having a box of candy bars at the ready, so good luck not snacking on them all the time.
When I actually manage to save a few to take on rides with me, they taste great all the same, digest quickly (as long as you stay hydrated) and provide long term sustainable energy on the go. Highly recommend Peanut Butter N' Honey, classic taste!
Honey Stinger Energy Bars
Bomb Blueberry Bar
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have been sporting these bars instead of Clif bars for a few weeks and find that they are easier to chew up and swallow with a few swigs of water and digest easier than a Clif bar, more focused on providing energy instantly via honey that is used in the bar itself. Very tasty
taste great
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I like these as an all natural energy pick up. They taste great and provide quick,ample energy. I would eat them with plenty of water though as they do tend to be a little dry.
not appetizing
make sure you have plenty of water on hand, these are dry and not that tasty.
hard to swallow
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This review will only be for the apple cinnamon flavor, as I trust other reviewers in saying that the other flavors are pretty good. Honey Stinger usually makes pretty good products, I've been impressed with the waffles, protein bars, and chews, but these are another story. I was excited, as apple cinnamon really sounds great, but these aren't good. They're dry, overly dense, don't taste that great, hard to chew and swallow, and they're EXPENSIVE. I can almost get ProBars (taste amazing, tons of nutrition) for as much as these cost, not to mention I could almost get 2X the ClifBars for this price, and they taste better. Not impressed with these, but they do provide energy, albeit not very much. One of my problems with Honey Stinger is that all of their products that are touted as 'energy' products, contain fewer than 200 calories. The calorie is a unit of energy. So put more calories in it. These are meant to sustain you and provide the energy you need to keep at it, not a small snack for in between meals while you watch tv.
Not impressed with these bars, and they even look like an ugly grey brick when you open the package.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Never really been a big fan of bars. Typically a tough chew to consume. These are a nice consistency, the yogurt bottom helps. I drink a generous amount with all energy products.
Berry banana buzz!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Getting a natural "sting" of energy (see what i did there :)) is the best way while outdoors! You can't beat the delicious flavors of these. They are super compact and pack a great deal of energy to get you feeling good and replenished to get your ass up that mountain or down depending on what your doing! Get after it with these delicious snacks!
Lots of Energy
Great bar for running. It provides nutrients needed and energy to keep you going. It is bulkier than chews so I would go with chews.
Great Bars
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I now grab these over Cliff Bars because I find them easier to eat and for some reason they keep me from getting hungry longer. I've used them rock climbing, mtb'ing, and hunting and they definitely do the job.
Bowhunting and ultra running...
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've used these as an "inbetweener" when chasing elk in the mountains. Good combo of protein and carbs in the PB'nH flav. Also use them along with a recovery drink immediately after an ultra. Good stuff!
Just add water
Taste great and perform great (love 'em pre-ride) but make sure you've got something in your hand to wash it down with.
I got the Berry Banana Buzz and love the flavor. It's got a little bit of crunch, but doesn't wear your jaw out like a Clif Bar can. Have some water ready if you're going to eat one of these, but you should have water with you anyway.
I like them?
End the suffer-fest of trying to get a chalky grainy energy bar down your throat and just buy these. Went from energy bar id use on tours to snack id eat whenever i could. They're delicious!Peanut butter and honey!
Honey Stinger Energy Bar
This bar is really good tasting and gives you the energy you need for your training.
Highly recommended.
I simply cannot believe how good this tasted. Even the 7 year old was loving them. No question, we'll be taking these on our backpacking trips again. Can we have a packaging that is burnable?
Energy that tastes good?
I love these things, I'm pretty sure if they weren't so expensive I would eat them daily. I've only had apple cinnamon and berry banana buzz but they were both delicious. I practically lived off of these for a few weeks. They give you great energy without making you feel weighted down like probars do. All organic goodness

Hello guys.
I researched a lot about it, but I could not solve my problem by changing only the parameter "zimbraSmtpRestrictEnvelopeFrom" for my return-path = from.
My questions are:
1 - Should I restart a specific service? (Already rebooted the server and nothing).
2 - There is another parameter to change?
Thank you!

SALISBURY, Md. (AP) -- Rep. Andy Harris who represents parts of Maryland's Eastern Shore in Congress is explaining why he voted against a $9.7 billion package for Superstorm Sandy relief.
The bill aimed at helping the region recover from the October storm passed the House on Friday with a vote of 354 to 67. All the no votes were from Republicans. The bill replenishes funding for the National Flood Insurance Program, which was set to run out of money next week.
The Daily Times reports that Harris wanted the bill to include reforms of the flood insurance program. Harris is now the only Republican in Maryland's congressional delegation.
Harris, who represents Ocean City, says Congress should have used the bill as an opportunity to strengthen the program, rather than write "another blank check."

Commerce City, CO (Sports Network) - The Colorado Rapids picked up a second
straight victory on Thursday, defeating Red Bull New York, 2-0, at Dick's
Sporting Goods Park.
Nathan Sturgis and Deshorn Brown provided the goals to see Colorado (7-7-5)
build upon a 4-3 victory over the Montreal Impact in its last outing to
improve to 26 points on the season.
New York (8-7-4) remains second in the Eastern Conference on 28 points,
dropping its third result of its last four matches.
Following a scoreless opening period at DSG Park with little in the way of
scoring opportunities, the Rapids managed to break the deadlock less than two
minutes into the second half.
A scramble in the penalty area saw the ball squirt out to Sturgis at the top
of the six-yard box, allowing the Rapids midfielder to sweep home his fourth
goal of the season.
Colorado doubled its advantage in somewhat controversial fashion in the 68th
minute when Chris Klute picked off a pass from Dax McCarty and centered the
ball for Brown to tuck home from close range. The Red Bulls defense protested
to the assistant referee, adamant that Brown was in an offside position when
the ball was played, but the goal ultimately was upheld.

PHOTO OP: Nike knocks it out in New York
I stopped by the Nike Primetime Knockout Event last night that featured Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, and Victoria Azarenka playing light-hearted doubles with actor Bradley Cooper, model Bar Refaeli and New York Giant Justin Tuck and debuting their US Open outfits on Pier 54 in New York City. Serena Williams, her boot (it was on) and umbrella made a special appearance as the hilarious on-court interviewers. They killed it last night even asking Rafa + Fed to show their abs to the crowd (they politely declined. *super sad face*) She seemed so much more relaxed - maybe it's because she's not competing. Yeah.
My friend, Michael Alan (www.michaelalanphotos.com), came with me and took a ton of great photos some of which are above and below. He really captured the fun and frivolity that was had by all. I'll upload the rest of the album to the DtL Facebook page as the come in. I did my part and grabbed a few shots of my own from on-court and during the media session and posted those on my TweetPhoto page. They're not as nice as Michael's so please, BE KIND.
And, the always awesome Karen over at GV Tennis News has the full recording from the media q & a that happened after the doubles exo. Pop on over there if you're so inclined.
If you want to borrow some of these images, please make sure to credit Michael Alan (though the very last one would be mine so credit me!)
P.S. - Check out my Twitter timeline for more detailed (and I use that term uber-loosely) coverage of the action last night. Good times.

Based on discussions and interactions with clients, a common theme has emerged - the gap between development and operations groups (people, processes and technologies). This gap diminishes business agility, the ability to respond to market demands quickly with new applications or solutions. It can also lead to quality problems with deployed applications resulting in higher costs, service disruption and service quality issues. Some of the root causes for these challenges are:
- Lack of visibility across the teams hinders collaboration and causes inconsistent manual handoffs as well as configuration and infrastructure mismatches
- Deployment requirements are difficult to validate and it is tough to mimic production in dev and test environments
- Moving applications from development to staging to production is a complex series of steps. Deployment engineers often execute manual steps which are not repeatable, and prone to error
- It is extremely difficult to integrate and automate these processes, as well as standardize maintenance and reuse given the heterogeneous nature of the environment with products from different vendors and open source tools.
Together Rational and Tivoli have been working with customers to address some of these challenges and we have introduced capabilities which include; Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) for Agile development and delivery, Deployment Planning and Automation (DP&A) for constructing deployment topologies and deployment automation and SmartCloud Provisioning for quickcloud deployment and automated provisioning.
By way of example, Danske Bank deployed these capabilities and reduced their average time of development projects from 14 months to 9 months while improving efficiency by 15%. Through automation, Sun Trust improved hand-off times by 98% while cutting deployment related issues by 93 %. And a leading tire manufacturer moved to agile processes and accelerated their development models by 30%
Based on these and other deployment scenarios, we are now working with a few select clients on a more integrated lifecycle management solution for Continuous Delivery, which we plan to make it available to a wider set of customers as part of a managed beta program in April. What does it mean to have continuous delivery? It means that the applications built by our clients are production-ready throughout the lifecycle and can be released to end users at any time, reducing the cycle times significantly. These capabilities are built leveraging open standards, enabling clients to leverage existing investments and the cloud. Some of the capabilities planned for the beta include:
- A customizable common software delivery workflow spanning Dev and Ops teams
- Automated release management for highly scalable, ultra-fast application deployments Continuous integration and testing of software in production-like environments
- Release readiness dashboard provides visibility and enables collaboration between dev and ops throughout the entire delivery lifecycle
We believe that these capabilities will help provide you with end-to-end feedback loop from your customers, from development, to operations, rapid release of new versions, increased velocity of change while reducing risk, leverage real-time planning, enable in-context collaboration, ensure lifecycle traceability and apply development and operational intelligence.
My Rational colleagues and I will be discussing these customer patterns and the solutions in more detail at Pulse. Looking forward to the discussion!

Wimbledon winners Serena Williams, working a gold, sparkly Burberry number, and Rafael Nadal gave full-on glam while showing off their new hardware at the annual Champions' Ball held at the Intercontinental Park Lane Hotel in London last night.
While the World. No. 1's still maintain large point leads in the rankings and are solidly in the top spot, there were some other notable moves today.
Of course the most discussed change in the rankings is Roger Federer's slip outside of the Top 2 for the first time since 2003 to land at No. 3 right behind Novak Djokovic after his quarterfinal loss to Tomas Berdych. The Czech baller, who reached his first ever Grand Slam final, is now at a career-high No. 8.
Robin Soderling makes his debut in the Top 5 on the heels of his quarterfinal appearance at the All England Club, while Andy Roddick fell two spots to land at No. 9 after his fourth round loss to Yen-Hsun Lu. The Taiwanese baller made the biggest gain this week skyrocketing 40 spots to land at No. 42.
And what about John Isner, who played and won the longest match in tennis history? He moved one whole spot to No. 18. I'm pretty sure it was still worth it, though.
See the full ATP World Tour singles rankings here.
On the WTA side of things, Venus Williams has fallen two spots to land at No. 4 behind No. 2 Jelena Jankovic and No. 3 Caroline Wozniacki after getting stunned by Tsvetana Pironkova in the quarterfinals. The Bulgarian made a huge leap from No. 82 to land at No. 35 after reaching her first major semifinal. Her conqueror, finalist Vera Zvonareva, re-entered the Top 10 and now sits at No. 9 right in front of Li Na who moved up two spots to No. 10. And, first-time semifinalist Petra Kvitova jumped 33 spots to the 29th spot this week.

Post-Wimbledon rankings update: Federer falls to No. 3, Venus to No. 4 after early exits
Labels: ATP, ranking points, tennis, WTA Tour
6 comments:
I find it funny that of the top 10 women, only Serena, Zvonareva and Li Na made any impact at Wimbledon. I guess you could also put Clijsters there but really, most of them didn't even make it into the second week!ReplyDelete
Women's tennis is back to being a joke.
I wonder who's going to step up and challenge ReRe on a regular basis? It's pretty amazing to think that at her age (28 going on 29) she doesn't have an actual rival. She could dominate into her 30's for reals.ReplyDelete
If you think of all the legends of the game, active and non-active, they all had someone in their face by this age who could defeat them on the biggest stages. You don't see anyone having that belief against ReRe, with the exception of clay, and it's looking like Rafa is heading in that direction as well though he's tough on all surfaces.
Well a teeny bit of good news for Delpo. He actually moved UP a spot in the rankings!ReplyDelete
"at the annual Champions' Ball held at the Intercontinental Park Lane Hotel"ReplyDelete
Swear to God I read, "Intercourse Park Lane Hotel"!! ;)
How far do you think Federer is going to fall this year? It's not impossible for him to drop out of the top ten. It SEEMS impossible to even make that statement.
lovelyrita782: YES!ReplyDelete
natch: of course you did - wouldn't expect anything less from my natch.
About Fed - he has tons of points to defend over the summer but not much in the fall...
quarterfinalist in Canada
winner in Cincinnati
finalist at U.S. Open
finalist in Basel
second round at Paris Indoors
semifinalist at ATP WTF
I'm not a numbers person by any means but it seems he could come perilously close to falling from the Top 10 though I don't think he will. He still has a pretty decent lead over Muzz, who's right behind him, in points.
I just tried to do the numbers (again, NOT an expert) and even if he didn't defend any points for the rest of the year he looks okay to still be in the Top 10.
I think if there's any chance it might come early next year. If he struggles the rest of 2010 and goes into his defense of Oz in shaky form, he could be facing that prospect.
But yes, the idea of Fed out of the Top 10 is kinda crazy, no?
Does anyone else want to take a crack at the numbers here and give their thoughts on Fed falling from the Top 10?
Nice post. It's great seeing the ranking changes after the Grand Slams. There are so many big movers!ReplyDelete
Federer dropping to number three is huge. I wonder if he'll keep descending -- it's very likely.

Brisbane, Australia (Sports Network) - Andy Murray successfully defended his
Brisbane International tournament title by rallying to top Bulgaria's Grigor
Dimitrov, 7-6 (7-0), 6-4 in Sunday's championship match.
Murray was behind 5-2 in the first set, but then came storming back. The
Scotsman was down 4-3 in the second set, but won the final three games to
secure his 25th title.
The reigning U.S. Open champion, Murray, stopped Dimitrov from making history.
The 21-year-old Dimitrov, who was in his first career final, was trying to
become the first Bulgarian to win an ATP title in the open era (since 1968).
"I didn't feel nervous at all ... I figured I'd just go out and try to win the
match," Dimitrov said following this Australian Open tune-up.
Murray, who claimed the first-place prize of $78,800, became the first back-
to-back tournament winner here since Mark Woodforde in 1988-89 when the event
was played in Adelaide.

Summary:A portrait of the American education system as seen through the eyes of Henry Barthes, an educator with a true talent to connect with his students, yet has chosen to bury his gift. By spending his days as a substitute teacher, he conveniently avoids any emotional connections by never staying anywhere long enough to form an attachment to either students or colleagues. When a new assignment places him at a public school where a frustrated, burned-out administration has created an apathetic student body, Henry quickly becomes a role model as a teacher who actually cares about the well-being of these students.

Temecula Valley Unified to issue capital appreciation bonds
The Riverside County Board of Supervisors last week approved Temecula Valley Unified School District's proposal to sell about $35 million in general obligation bonds, including controversial capital appreciation bonds that have forced taxpayers in some areas to pay as much as 10 times the principal to retire the bonds.
District administrators, however, say their repayment plan is far more conservative than recent headline-grabbing plans -- Poway Unified's will ultimately cost its taxpayers $1 billion on a $105 million bond issued in 2011. In Temecula, the bond sales will lead to a cost of roughly $2.39 in interest for each dollar borrowed.
Late last month, legislation was introduced in the state Assembly seeking to cap districts' repayment ratios at no more than $4 in interest and principal for every dollar borrowed, and Temecula's plan falls well within those recommendations, said Lori Ordway-Peck, assistant superintendent of business support services.
She says the district did its homework long before it asked its taxpayers for help.
"It's frustrating to be tarnished with one brush when every district has a unique financial profile," Ordway-Peck said.
Voters approved the $165 million bond measure in November to generate money to pay for a number of facilities and infrastructure projects across the district's 33 schools.
"The thing I would say is each district needs to be understood on its own merit," Ordway-Peck said. "My board was well-informed throughout this process. … We understand the issues and we're taking the responsive and responsible action to give people the best schools we can."
Ordway-Peck said Temecula Valley Unified's package consists of 16 percent capital appreciation bonds, 16 percent current interest bonds and 68 percent convertible capital appreciation bonds.
The district's governing board approved the plan three weeks ago, just days after state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson and state Treasurer Bill Lockyer cautioned districts against the issuance of capital appreciation bonds -- which charge little to no interest in the beginning -- until reforms could be considered to protect taxpayers.
"In too many cases, CAB deals have forced taxpayers to pay more than 10 times the principal to retire bonds," Torlakson and Lockyer said in a joint letter to county and district superintendents. "Also, the transactions have been structured with 40-year terms that delay interest and principal payments for decades, resulting in huge balloon payments and burdens on future taxpayers that cannot be justified."
Ordway-Peck said Temecula homeowners will never pay more than $36 per $100,000 of assessed value on planned 30-year terms associated with the Measure Y bonds, which come with a total debt service of about $395 million through 2053. If only current interest bonds were issued, that debt service would have been about $267 million.
With the Board of Supervisor's approval Tuesday on County Treasurer Don Kent's recommendation, the bonds issuance will hit the market in late February or early March.
It's all part of a plan that district officials began devising more than a year ago when they drew up a campaign to ask for taxpayers' help for the first time since 1989, when voters approved a $65 million bond measure that the district will pay off in 2025.
Without taxpayers' recently approving a new bond, Ordway-Peck said, the district would have had to wait another seven years to begin addressing maintenance issues that have fallen by the wayside during the economic downturn.
Now, districts across the state are beefing up the technology available in their schools in preparation for new standards beginning to make their way into the classroom.
"We do not have the infrastructure in place for that," Ordway-Peck said. "This bond will do that for us. If we had to wait seven years, we would not have had the resources to do it."

Video: Military Brides Say Yes To Free Dresses
MANASSAS, Va. (WUSA) -- Military brides got to pick and choose their wedding gowns in the national Brides Across America program.
Qualified brides get to take the gowns home at no cost at participating stores.
Jeanette's Bride N 'Tux Boutique in Manassas, Virginia saw a steady stream of excited women trying on dresses on Thursday.
Nicki Anderson's fiance has six months left in his deployment.
The designer dresses have been donated by companies and other brides. They cost anywhere from $1000 on up.
Air Force Captain Kim French just returned from Afghanistan, her third tour of duty.
"I'm so thankful that somebody has seen the service that a lot of us woman have done, that hasn't been noticed in the past as much as it should, is really cool," French said.
She has six months to prepare for her special day.
She's stepped off the battlefield and can now concentrate on walking down the aisle.
Her mother says it's been a hard fought battle to get where she is.
And it brings tears to her eyes that her Air Force daughter is now on cloud 9.
"The first dress she tried on, I could see those smiles I haven't seen in a long time. That's what brought tears to my eyes to see her happy."
Jeanette's Bride 'N Tux was the only participating store in the region, but the program runs through November 24th across the country. A Norfolk bridal store will hold an event next week.
In order to qualify, brides or their fiances must be serving in the military, either currently deployed or deployed within the last five years to Iraq, Afghanistan, Bahrain, Libya, Kenya, or Japan. Brides have to show identification and deployment papers.

Who else in this forum has is having Droid problems after upgrading to ZCS 7.1.4?!
I have 100% of my company droids (~20) are failing to maintain a corporate sync connection to our mail server. This all occurred after upgrading to ZCZ 7.1.4.
2 Support Tickets and I am getting no where with Zimbra support. Zimbra blames the droid. I understand their reasoning (logs show Droid errors), however it doesn't help me fix the problem.
All iPhones, IMAP clients work fine. It is just the droid corporate sync phones.
Anyone experiencing similar behavior? My office is considering a wholesale dumping of droid phones and going to iPhones to resolve this issue. This will cost few grand to do and I feel is not in the company's best interest.
I need some feedback or ideas, please.
Thanks in advance!

New Year's financial and tax resolutions for 2014
As 2013 ends, it's traditional for Americans to have New Year's resolutions for the upcoming year. The most common are "quit smoking" and "lose weight," and most will NOT do what's required to achieve their goals. Let's list some financial and tax resolutions that, hopefully, are easier to implement.
—Calculate your retirement goals in dollars. This involves determining how much annual spendable income you need in your retirement years.
I advise people to ignore the conventional financial suggestion that you can live on 70 percent of your working income. Why would you plan on spending less? Do you want to cut back on eating out and entertainment by 25-50 percent? Do you want to take no vacations instead of the normal 2-3 week you get while working? When you retire, you now have unlimited time to pursue your dreams.
—Understand the effects of inflation. If you think you need $50,000 of after-tax income for your first year of retirement, look at the effect of various levels of inflation.
The U.S. government says that over the last 50 years, average inflation has been around 3 percent. I believe that's a conscious understatement. In the 1970s, the U.S. government developed the Core Consumer Price Index, which excluded goods with high price volatility, such as food and energy.
According to Wikipedia, "On Jan. 25, 2012, the Fed announced they would stop using the core CPI and rely instead on the Personal Consumption Expenditures price index." If one looks back to 1992, this PCE index rises one-third percent lower than the CPI index.

WASHINGTON – Children will be among the hundreds of thousands on the National Mall this Inauguration Day and authorities working to keep the crowd safe are offering advice ahead of the ceremony for parents.
"When we have large crowds like this, the reality is a lot of times people will get separated," says Sgt. Paul Brooks with the U.S. Park Police.
Those monitoring the throngs of people are asking parents to take a some precautions before heading to day's events Monday.
"It takes a lot of the stress out of an already stressful situation," says Brooks.
Brooks says parents should put their cellphone number in their child's pocket and let them know that it's there.
Parents are also urged to take a photo of their son or daughter that day and hang on to it, just in case.
"With the ability of phones with cameras now, it's a great thing. You can actually provide a photo that is hours old."
According to Brooks, some law enforcement officers will be dedicated to investigating missing persons reports. They will be working at "reunification tents" scattered around the mall.

After upgrading my Nokia N810 to the newest (diablo) firmware. My email hasn't worked. I knew they switched email clients to the new Modest client after setting up my account on my n810 about 5 times with different account details (always using IMAP) I would get the same result. A drafts folder would pop up and it would say connecting indefinitely.
Come to find out that the Modest client uses IMAP-IDLE and after some googling I also find out that it is disabled by default in zimbra.
To find out whether or not IMAP-IDLE is enabled on your server:
su - zimbra or sudo su zimbra (which ever you prefer)
if your output looks like this:Code:
zmlocalconfig | grep nio_imap_enable
and you do want to enable IMAP-IDLE you can run this command:Code:
nio_imap_enable = false
nio_imap_enabled = false
and finally you can restart your server with:Code:
zmlocalconfig -e nio_imap_enable=true
zmlocalconfig -e nio_imap_enabled=true
zmcontrol stop && zmcontrol start
Congratulations! Your freshly upgraded N810 works with Zimbra! The only issue I have found so far is that for some reason I keep getting a tag created called $Label1 other than that IMAP is working on N810

The loss of the skin's natural ability to protect itself against premature aging creates unwanted expression lines, creases, and wrinkles well before their time. Our self image is often wrapped up in how pretty we think we look, how young our skin appears to be, and how good our hair looks.

When you add ATOPALM Treatments into your beauty routine, you give your skin a chance to once again become soft, supple, and beautiful.

Username: Concept Gun
Name: *I will have to kill you, if I tell you*
Residence: Islamabad, Pakistan (the new Madinah)
Other: Brother
1) How did you find out about 7cg?
A brother from a dawah here in Islamabad told me about the forum, so curiously I visited and joined in soon.
2) Did you intend to post when you joined? What made you do so if you didn't intend to?
Yes, I definitely intended to contribute because I wanted to interact with Muslims around the world. I was well aware of the power of forums these days on the internet, and I always wished that there should be a forum for the dawah carriers of various ways of thinking, as well as all Muslims, around the world to meet and discuss dawah and issues which helps in taking care of the affairs of the Ummah.
3) Why are you an active member of 7cg?
Because I get awareness of lots of things about Islamic dawah happening around different corners of the world, which motivates me in my own. Secondly, I am also active to get you people informed about whats going on in our part of the world. I know that Muslims from around the world are very interested in the news about dawah in Pakistan (Ummah has high expectations from Pakistan I know) and there is not much info available about whats going on in Pakistan, so this forum is a great way to inform the people, so they get an idea of whats going on in Pakistan.
4) What do you like most about the forum?
The marriage threads!
5) Has the forum changed you in any way?
Yes, but also...
I think I have changed the forum in many ways, LOL through the formation of the "Marriage Thread Lovers League", etc. And I am bound to convince the admins to even change its domain name to www.7cgen-marriage-counselling.com , a proposal for which I will rally forumites' support and ultimately convince the admins to do so!
(This is a joke of course).
6) Does it mean anything being FOTM?
Well, I always knew I had loads of vote bank on the forum, so this FOTM nomination came as an acknowledgement of that fact! And this is another step towards the "nusrah" thing! So I think things are going in the right direction, slowly and gradually; and one day you would hear another announcement!
On a serious note, I see this FOTM award as a wedding gift from 7CGen. Jazak Allah Khair.
7) Do you intend to stay at the community in future?
Till 20th June I guarantee, but after that only if my "honay wali" allows me! Lolz.
(Faraz: Mate, if she doesnt join up, Im going to come there and force her into the sisters' section! )
8) Made any friends at the forum? Who and where from?
Yup, many⦠now I can't give you my MSN contact list!
But Alhamdulillah, many people. Made friends from Australia, UK, America.. everywhere really. I know brother Faraz, who keeps asking me my name (i think hes working for someone).
9) You take a keen interest in matters of the Islamic Revival. What do you think about the current situation of Pakistan and the chances of Khilafah coming back in Pakistan?
I have always been an advocate of the idea that Pakistan is a very ideal place for Khilafah to be established here. The answer to this last question cannot be answered in short, so please be patient in reading the whole answer.
Regarding the current situation of Pakistan; I would say that you have to distinguish between two segments (otherwise making a general analysis wouldn't be good):
1. The Ruling class (which is formed of the elite liberalists);
2. The general public
The ruling class is formed of the elite liberalist class (which is normally breeded in specific Western schools/colleges in Pakistan run by the Western organizations), and this class is the most corrupted class and they are those who are the carriers of the Western thoughts/concepts and they are the people who have been ruling Pakistan from the very beginning uptil now, cuz they are the one selected by Western powers for this job. But this class is a very minority class, sometimes referred to as the "22 families of Pakistan".
This class comprises of different stratas; there are the 70-80% who live in the villages and the rest about 20% live in the cities.
a. The villagers generally love Islam and they also practice Islam (according to their limited understanding, cuz they are not very well versed with Islam) but if you asked them, vast majority of them will definitely say that "We want Islam and Islamic system"!!
b. The urban people (around 20%) now have different classes amongst them; there are mostly three types of people in this category:
- The Islamists who follow Islam radically (called extremists by the West) >>> they are a minority
- The liberalists >>> they are a minority
- The common traditionalists (who form the majority of the common man)
In short I wanna say that the majority of "common man" love islam and if you ask them they would say "we want islam and its system" but they are so much bombarded with Western ideas (through the media, education system) that they get influenced and they become what I call "confused personalities", i.e. they say that they love islam but they are not very much practicing islam!!! (I hope I have explained it in an understandable manner.)
So what I always say in my posts is that the people of Pakistan love Islam and want the "Islamic System" or shariah. And there are loads of evidences for that such as:
- All the big movements that have happened in Pakistan were in the name of Islam, specially the greatest of all was the "Nidham-e-Mustafa" movement in around 1977 when millions of people were on the streets calling for "Nidham-e-Mustafa" i.e. the "Islamic System" (see they didn't call it "KHilafah" movement specifically). So the history of Pakistan has seen such movements where millions people come out on streets for what!!! For Islam only!!! We have never seen people coming out on streets for "DEMOCRACY"!!! It never happened in Pakistan and insha-Allah won't happened in future too.
- Why do Musharraf always justify his policies with islam (why did he say that giving bases to USA for Afghanistan was llike making Treaty of Hudaibya)??? Its cuz he knows people will accept anything in the name of Islam.
- Why do Musharraf say that he is a Sayyid (from the family of Rasoolullah saw) and that he has entered the Ka'aba so many times, and raised the slogan of Allah o akbar??? cuz he knows about the Islamic emotions and he wants to cash them.
- When Musharraf announced that they are gonna held "Mixed Marathon Races", so many people protested on the streets, and people also physically stopping the race (with batons, etc), and the hype was to the extent that the govt had to announce that they will not hold such marathons in the future. So it shows people hate anything which is against Islam.
- When the "Religion" space was removed from the Passports (meaning people were not required to write their religion on the passport), the people were against it and they said that it makes hard to distinguish between Muslims and Non-Muslims and they demanded it be put back in the Passport format; so there was so much pressure that the Govt had to succumb and they later put it back!!
- Previous govts also realised this fact and therefore they used to do acts to please the people and to gather more votebank, such as Nawaz Sharif passed a "Shariah Bill" to please people so that people consider him to be Islamic and thus he will get more votes next time. Benazir Bhutto went to the extreme that she used to have the head-scarf on and also hold the "tasbeeh" in her hands all the times so that the people think of her to be very religious and Islamic so that she is in good books of the people!!!
- The recent poll by www.WorldPublicOpinion.org showed that according to their survey 79% people said that they wanted Shariah to be implemented in Pakistan and only 17% people said that they wanted Democracy to be implemented in Pakistan. So this clearly shows which system the Muslims in Pakistan want.
Although the Muslims in Pakistan want "Islam" and the "Islamic System" but still one thing is missing i.e. the specific call to "Khilafah", meaning that although people want "Islamic System" but many of them have vague idea of what actually is "Islamic System". Seems weird yeah... but thats true, meaning although they don't have a clear idea of Islamic system but still they love islam and they think that Islamic system is the best cuz its from Allah (swt). So what we need to tell them is that the "Islamic system" is actually called Khilafah and also what are the details of this system.
So people have love for "Islam" (and not for "khilafah" yet) and they have overwhelmingly come out on streets for "Islam" and not for "Khilafah" yet. So we need to move them ahead one mark insha-Allah so the call for "Islam" transforms into the call for "Khilafah" specifically. We are working day and night for that, and now the specific call for "Khilafah" (rather than general call of "Islamic system") is also growing day by day but it has not yet become the dominant call, so work needs to be done.
At the end, I request all forumites that they pray from Allah (swt) that He (swt) give us the taufeeq to work more and more hard in His (swt) way and that He (swt) gives us the victory (nusrah) soon and grants us Khilafah soon. Ameen.

NuFace devices are the only FDA-cleared, handheld facial toning devices clinically proven to improve facial contour, reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone. The founder of NuFace, Carol Cole, began working with microcurrent technology as a means to provide at-home skin care solutions for her high profile clients in the 1980s. In 2005 she launched the NuFace brand after several iterations of handheld microcurrent devices. Known as the "5 Minute Face-Lift", NuFace devices use microcurrent to gently stimulate skin for an improved appearance, making it the ultimate solution for aging skin.
NuFace is the first and only microcurrent hand-held device FDA cleared for cosmetic over-the-counter use for facial toning.
The development of signs of aging is a complex process that involves both internal and external factors. As the body ages, collagen production slows, leaving the skin more susceptible to developing lines and wrinkles simply due to the natural pull on the tissue that occurs when frowning, smiling or furrowing one's brow. In addition, ultraviolet energy and free radicals found in the environment around us act on the skin cells, damaging their vital structures. The result is a weakening of the skin that causes wrinkles and lines to emerge prematurely.
The needs of the complexion change with age and many people find that their anti-aging regimens simply are no longer enough to keep lines and wrinkles to a minimum as they grow older. Traditionally, people in this position have had to choose between living with signs of aging or undergoing surgeries that, while effective, provide only short-lived results and pose risks for complications. NuFace offers a third solution: a powerful, FDA-approved at-home treatment that is clinically shown to effectively reduce the prominence of signs of aging.
With each use taking just 5 minutes per day, NuFace technology makes advanced skin therapy easy to fit into your daily routine. Each use provides the skin tissue with mild electrical stimulation that has the power to rejuvenate the cells and encourage collagen production. With regular use, NuFace products have the potential to greatly reduce the prominence of wrinkles while continuing to fight the aging process to minimize the appearance of wrinkles.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more 29" Mountain Bike Wheels - Tubeless in stock than that.View Similar Products
Mavic Crossmax ST 29in Wheelset $0.00
At its core, riding a 29in wheel is an affirmation of functionality. You think differently, and you embrace new technology at the face value promise of an elevated standard of ride quality. So why is it that most 29er manufacturers simply take a 26in wheel and make it bigger? Mavic asked the same question, and answered it with the Crossmax ST 29in Wheelset. Built from Mavic's exclusive Maxtal aluminum, and featuring top-shelf proprietary technologies, the Crossmax STs exist on a heightened plane of 29er handling, rigidness, and lightweight speed.
Mavic's Crossmax ST 29in Wheelset was developed with rider experience at the forefront of the design. In fact, the pros from teams Orbea, Cannondale, and Luna were integral in the research and development process. With their input, Mavic was able to make the 20/24 spoke ST wheelset a rigid, but comfortable, wheelset that wants to accelerate and sprint out of the corners, and it doesn't hurt that this characteristic is aided by the patented low inertia ISM rim design; the 19mm wide rim's lower bridge is machined between the spoke holes. This process allows greater weight savings, and thus a lower rotational weight for enhanced climbing and overall speed. The rims' rigidity and durability are further accentuated by Mavic's Fore technology. This is a drilling process for spoke attachment that only pierces one of the two rim walls. Mavic claims that this system makes the rim four times more resistant to fatigue and 20% stiffer. What we know is that the design makes the perfect, aperture-free platform for a UST tubeless system.
Mavic's technological innovations aren't limited to just the rim, they extend throughout every component of the wheelset. The hubs use a four pawl system that works two by two to promote faster engagement and a more efficient energy transmission. Additionally, the hubs use Mavic's top-shelf QRM+ cartridge bearings that feature a protecting double seal, and a simple to use micro-adjustability system for on-the-fly precision adjustments according to your riding conditions.
This wheelset is part of Mavic's MP3 extended warranty program. The acronym stands for Mavic Product Protection Plan, and it provides you with two years of almost unlimited no-fault protection from Mavic. More details can be found on the MP3 website. Please note that MP3 coverage must be purchased within 5 days of the date that you receive your wheels. Contact one of our customer service representatives for the retailer and product codes that you'll need to register your wheels on the Mavic MP3 site. You'll also need the serial numbers that you'll find on your wheels. The cost for this coverage is approximately 8% of the retail cost of the wheels.
The Mavic Crossmax ST 29in Wheelset is both UST tubeless and tube compatible, and accepts only six bolt ISO standard disc rotors. This wheelset is is available in the color Black, and the freehub body accepts Shimano and SRAM 8-, 9-, and 10-speed cassettes. The front wheel comes standard as a 15mm thru-axle and the rear with a 135x9mm quick-release configuration. Adapters are included for a rear 142x12mm thru-axle. Adapters are sold separately for a front quick-release and 20mm thru-axle options along with a 135x10mm thru-axle rear configuration.

2 broken axles in 2 years
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have had the Mavic Crossmax STs on my Niner Air 9 hard-tail for almost two years now. The axle in the rear wheel has broken twice. The first time was about a month after I bought the bike, the second time after another 18 months. For the first broken axle, Mavic took over a month to get the parts to my LBS. For the second broken axle there has been no response from Mavic in over two months; I've given up waiting. The wheels have stayed perfectly true. For reference, I am 6'2, 165 lbs, old, and ride trails somewhat conservatively.
I am looking at the Mavic Crossmax ST 29in...
I am looking at the Mavic Crossmax ST 29in Wheelset, but I don't know if it will work on my Specialized 29er, which has SRAM 1x11 casette and RShox Pike fork. Can anyone clarify this ? or recommend other comparable wheelsets ?
This wheel set can be converted to 15mm or 20mm in front and any axle variant in the back. The only thing is you will have to purchase the Mavic XD driver off our website to except the SRAM 11 Spd business.
I hope this helps and if you need anything else please let me know,
Any thoughts on using these on a disk...
Any thoughts on using these on a disk equipped cyclocross bike? Are the rims too wide?
These should work as long as the rear spacing is 135mm (mtb standard) on the rear axle. Some disc cross bikes are being made with 130mm (road standard) spacing
I'm wondering if there's a front axle...
I'm wondering if there's a front axle conversion for these that uses the 9mm through axle like the DT Swiss RWS?
Hey Justin,
Unfortunately Mavic does not offer any axle conversion for the DT Swiss RWS skewers.
These are great wheels!!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
For the price and weight, these wheels are hard to beat. I've been hammering on mine for 2 seasons. I've only broken 1 spoke due to a branch nub poking out of the trail. After I replaced the spoke, the rear wheel required minimal truing. I've done a variety of trail riding on these and have even taken my 429c on the dirt jumps up at the Canyons in Park City with no sign of fatigue. May not be the lightest wheelset out there but they are strong! I'm about 225 lbs and have barely done anything to them in regards to service. My only gripe is that replacement spokes can be tricky to source from an LBS.
I am riding a 2011 Stumpjumper 29r, (XXL)...
I am riding a 2011 Stumpjumper 29r, (XXL) and just broke the rear stock DT520 SL. Looking to upgrade to a stronger wheelset for a 6'6'' 250lb. Hub requirements 20mmx105mm Front & 10mmx135mm Rear. The Crossmax looks to fit, but the reviews are mixed on Mavic. What do you recommend?
Well, I'm only 5'10" and 190lb, but I've been riding the 26" Crossmax for two seasons on rocky, rooty NW terrain and love them. Haven't had to true them at all. The tubeless setup is super easy (no thru-holes). I think they had problems in years past, up to 2011. I'd buy them again.

Restoring A Classic Truck - Cure For The Common CabWritten by Gerry Burger on June 21, 2012 Sometimes Updating Is Back-Dating
Buying a running hot rod truck is a great way to enjoy the hobby while you improve on the truck. After purchasing any truck the desire to "make it your own" is overwhelming, but the first thing we did after purchasing our 1940 Ford pickup was give it a thorough safety inspection, which turned up several items that needed our immediate attention. After the brake line issues and exhaust problems were addressed, we enjoyed driving the truck for a while but then the itch to change things just had to be scratched.
Actually, after cleaning up the suspension, brakes and motor we did a complete repaint. By the time it was over we had changed virtually everything on the truck. One of our projects along the way was improving the interior of the truck. When purchased, the truck had a serviceable interior of black velour in a traditional rolled-and-pleated design. Sporting at least one strange stain and a cigarette burn from owners past, we wanted to go with a more traditional vinyl and leather treatment. The truck also had a mid-'80s GM tilt column that looked too big for the interior and finally the gauge cluster was filled with '80s-style Stewart-Warner gauges. Yeah, it was time for a cabin makeover.
The cab makeover would be in the style of a mid-'60s hot rod truck. The products used would all be in keeping with that era. One lucky find was an original gauge cluster from a 1941 Ford 1-ton truck. The gauge panel fit our opening perfectly and honestly I think the original gauge cluster looks better than trying to crowd five gauges into the stock opening. Of course the gauge cluster was just the beginning; it was in need of a complete reconditioning.
After a conversation with the team at Classic Instruments we decided to send the gauge panel their way for a complete refurbishing. Classic Instruments doesn't repair the old gauges or convert them to 12-volt, rather they put all new instrument movements behind the refurbished panel using stock style gauge pointers and graphics. The results are stunning, a great-looking gauge panel that appears original but has all new gauges and senders for modern-day accuracy. We had them add turn signal and high beam indicators to the panel too.
With the gauge problem resolved we welded up a former radio hole in the dashboard and the dashboard was complete. The inside windshield moldings were painted, much like Henry had planned in 1940. But if you were building a hot rod truck in the '60s chrome was the only way to go for inside garnish moldings, so the windshield moldings were sent off for chrome plating.
During our suspension work we replaced the old Vega steering box with a brand-new unit and then coupled it to a Borgeson Universal Economy Series steering column. The polished stainless steel column and associated dash and floor mounts provide the perfect look for our vintage interior. The column is small and the chrome-like finish is perfect for a '60s hot rod truck. We topped the column with a reproduction 1940 Ford steering wheel from LimeWorks and called on Ron Francis Wiring for a chrome-plated "Signal-stat" style turn signal unit. The clamp-on unit shares space on the column with the Moon tachometer we purchased from Honest Charley Speed Shop.
Changing from the GM tilt column to the Borgeson Economy Series column meant we would have to relocate and rewire the ignition key. We sourced a new ignition key from Ron Francis Wiring and with help from their tech staff had the wire colors converted from the base of the column to the new switch. The new switch is now mounted in the dashboard to the left of the steering column.
The door panels were sent off for upholstery using white leather and black Ultraleather in a traditional pattern. Before installing the door panels we installed new latches and window regulators from Bob Drake Reproductions. When it came time for inside door handles we wanted to dress the truck up a bit, but still keep the early Ford flavor. To that end we ordered a set of 1940 Ford Deluxe passenger-car handles and bezels for the doors. The art-deco detail lines add the perfect finishing touch to the doors.
The seat was reupholstered in a traditional 4-inch pleated design. A white top panel on the seat brightens things up. We installed our own wind lacing and hard headliner from LeBaron Bonney. This fiberboard headliner fits well, and while we would've loved to do a photo how-to on the install, it was so clumsy that is was a matter of two people in a small cab pushing the panel into place, marking and doing some slight trimming and then installing the piece for the last time.
Since our truck didn't have a rearview mirror we purchased a Model-A rearview mirror, and after removing the mirror from the bracket we put the bracket in a sheetmetal brake and bent the appropriate angle on the plate. Three carefully drilled holes and the modified Model-A unit was mounted to the truck.
Finally we turned our attention to restoring the old heater in the truck. The heater was in the truck when we purchased it and we had no idea who manufactured the unit until we stripped off several layers of paint. As it turns out it the heater is an old Chrysler unit. We stripped it to bare metal, repaired the defroster flap, filled a couple of dents and holes and painted the heater black with a gold fan shroud to match our gauges. But we wanted to somehow make the heater look like it belonged in the truck and that trick turned out to be the addition of a 1947 Ford horn button we purchased from Dennis Carpenter Reproductions. Three very carefully drilled holes allowed the stainless ring to be clipped to the front panel and voilà–an almost genuine Ford heater.
The finishing touch came in the form of a reproduction decal for inside the glove box door. This is a minor detail that adds that certain something when you open the glovebox. Reproduction decals are available for virtually every truck from Jim Osborn Reproductions.
We are real pleased with our series of interior modifications and the blend of parts keeps the vintage theme alive while providing modern steering, seating comfort and accurate gauges. CT

Stock big truck gauges came with a painted bezel, and graphics that told you what speed to shift to second gear accented by white fans.After sending the stock gauge cluster off to Classic Instruments were had a better-than-new gauge cluster. The speedometer now reads to 100 mph rather than 60 and all-new gauges reside behind the gorgeous face plate.Classic Instruments includes very thorough instructions with their custom gauge clusters, this schematic was specific to our cluster.We ordered a new ignition switch from Ron Francis Wiring and couldn't resist getting matching blue keys.To protect the fresh paint, a piece of masking tape was used to mark the hole, and then a pilot hole was drilled through the tape. The final hole size was made using a step-drill through the tape.A little work with a small triangle file provided the required notch. This notch prevents the switch from rotating in the dashboard.The wiring conversion was simple enough and we decided to install a Ron Francis Wiring light switch to match the ignition switch.With the new gauge panel installed alongside the new ignition switch and light switch, we were now ready to install the new steering column.
The back of the new gauge cluster was completely pre-wired; all we had to do was use the supplied plug to make the proper connections.All new senders are part of the Classic Instruments package too. Since all-new gauges are built into the unit, these senders will match the new gauges perfectly.The speedometer cable is replaced by a pulse generator that mounts to the transmission in place of the old cable gear. Then this "brain box" converts the pulses to MPH on the gauge.Since we are replacing the old steering column with a Borgeson Economy Series column, the ignition switch and turn signals would need to be rewired. We unplugged the wires and removed the steering column.The old column had been clamped to this homebrewed bracket. Not a bad way to go, but Borgeson has a much better design.A test fit of the Borgeson steering column showed everything would work out just fine. It is imperative to have your seat mounted so you can position the column exactly where you want it.With the new column in place we mounted the 1940 Ford steering wheel from LimeWorks Speed Shop. Not surprisingly, the wheel looks perfect with the stock gauge cluster.When we ordered the ignition switch and light switch from Ron Francis Wiring we also order a vintage style clamp-on turn signal kit. It simply clamps to the steering column.
The vintage styling of the Moon tachometer blends perfectly with the interior, and mounting it was a simple hose clamp operation.We restored this vintage Chrysler heater (year unknown) and painted the fan shroud gold to match the gauges. The gold emblem in the center is a horn button from a 1947 Ford from Dennis Carpenter Reproductions.We installed a new glove box from Dennis Carpenter Reproductions and then for a bit of finishing detail we placed a factory sticker from Jim Osborne Reproductions inside the glove box door.With the dashboard completed it was time to tackle the headliner we purchased from LeBaron Bonney. We installed the windlacing first, using plastic panel plugs rather than the original nails supplied with the kit.After putting a dab of black weatherstrip adhesive on the pillar, we gently clamped the wind lace to the A-pillar. Two pop-rivets hold it in place while a black sharpie camouflages the rivet.By working slowly and not stretching the windlace you should be able to keep a neat, straight line with the door.The LeBaron Bonney headliner kit consists of four fiberboard panels and two fiberboard kick panels. This piece fits behind the door on the driver side.The panel locks into a grove in the rear window rubber that we purchased from Bob Drake. Then after the panel is in position a series of supplied upholstery screws hold it to the door frame.
Removing the original door handles involves pushing the escutcheon inward and pushing the steel pin out of the door handle.We decided to dress up the doors with new '40 Ford Deluxe door handles and escutcheons from Bob Drake Reproductions. The art-deco lines add a nice vintage touch to the interior.Just your basic hot rod truck door panel, the white leather drops down to provide room for the window crank, exposed screws are typical of '60s era truck upholstery.With the seat upholstered in a matching pattern, we have completely transformed the inside of the cab. The change was like traveling back in time from 1982 to 1962.The sun visor is from a later F-100, while the mirror is a modified Model-A piece. The utter simplicity of early trucks is what makes them fun to own.
