Road Tour 2005 -- The '36 Gets A ChassisWritten by on June 10, 2005 Contributors: Chris Shelton
Last month we introduced our 10th anniversary Road Tour car, a sleek, chopped '36 Ford three-window based on a J.B. Donaldson fiberglass body. As in years past when the coupe is completed, we'll turn Jerry Dixey loose on unsuspecting attendees of NSRA events all over the country so they can have a good look--both at the car and Jerry.
While Dixey receives a great deal of good-natured ribbing about what a tough job he has driving all over the country going to rod runs, the truth is covering close to 30,000 miles in a summer and working at all those events isn't easy. It requires dedication and tenaciousness on his part, and the ultimate in reliability and road manners on the car's part.
As anybody who has driven one any distance at all will attest, the foundation of a good street rod is its chassis; if it doesn't work like it should, nothing else matters. Mile-deep paint, sumptuous upholstery, and all the bells and whistles that can be crammed into a car won't compensate for underpinnings that don't get the job done. And since the job of the Road Tour car is pretty much self-explanatory, we need a chassis that works. That's why we called on Total Cost Involved to build one for duty under our coupe.
Total Cost Involved opened in 1974, their first product was a reproduction Model A frame. But it wasn't long before the company expanded its product line and was on its way to becoming a major player in the suspension and chassis construction business. Over the years they've continued to add to their list of wares and today the Total Cost Involved catalog includes suspension systems, and in some cases complete chassis for a variety of cars, including '28 to '48 Fords, '36 to '54 Chevys, '53 to '62 Corvettes, '62 to '67 Novas, Ford and Chevy trucks from the '20s to the '60s. They also list a host of components that have "universal" applications.
The chassis we opted for is based on a Total Cost Involved '35 to '40 frame. Made with fabricated tube rails, these frames duplicate the shape and contour of the originals but are far stronger than the unboxed stockers. As is the common practice, construction begins by clamping a pair of rails in a fixture, or jig, so it can be said these frames are jig built. And while "jig built" is a common description of a construction technique, it's important to realize just what that means. Jig built simply means that the parts being put together are being held in position for assembly, and it also means that all the parts built in that jig should come out the same. But the question you have to ask is: "The same as what?" In the case of a Total Cost Involved chassis, the jig itself was built to factory specifications so what comes out of it is a dimensional duplicate of a Ford frame, just as if it rolled down Henry's assembly line. Of course that means when it's time to install the body, it will fit like it should.
As you might expect, Total Cost Involved offers a long list of options on their chassis, so we checked the boxes next to the components that we felt would make our coupe the ideal cross-country cruiser: Custom IFS with manual rack-and-pinion steering; front and rear anti-roll bars; rear parallel four-bars with a Panhard; and Air Ride Technologies Shock Waves on all four corners. We expect this combination of components will make our Road Tour '36 ride and handle with the best of them. In fact our only fear is that this car is going to work so well that Dixey will get soft.
To chronicle the construction of the Road Tour chassis we dispatched our ace photog, Chris Shelton, to record the process on his digital Brownie. He followed the Total Cost Involved crews as they went about building the foundation for our Road Tour '36. Take a look at what it takes to make a real cross-country coupe.

Here's a typical '35 to '40 frame from Total Cost Involved. Note the clutch pedal, this example is set up for a manual transmission.The first step in frame construction is to clamp the rails in the jig (note they're upside down). Not only does this make each one produced the same, it makes them all the same as an original Ford frame.Along with the frame jig, a variety of fixtures are used to make sure all the individual components are in the correct location. Here the center crossmember is installed.One of the secrets to the strength of Total Cost Involved frames is the unique rectangular tube X-member; here Jorge Tejado (under the helmet) and Chuy Rodarte put ours in place.For front suspension we chose the Total Cost Involved custom IFS. This is a worm's eye view of the crossmember.This is a coilover rear crossmember, the same style is used for the Air Ride Technologies Shock Waves. Two upper mounting points are provided to allow suspension tuning.The X-member is big enough to accept just about any conventional transmission; in this case it will be a Ford AOD. Tell Total Cost Involved what you're using, and they'll install the correct mount.
In the rear, four-bar brackets attach to the side rails and the legs of the X-member. Note the brake proportioning valve and the inline residual pressure valve.Here the bracket for the rear Panhard bracket is positioned. Note the body mounting holes--along with all the other mounting points on the chassis--have nuts welded in place.Here's another interesting fixture. This one positions the engine and transmission mounts for an exact fit.Small but critical items are the radiator mounts. Note how the hole in the bracket aligns with the hole in the jig.These are the upper and lower A-frames for the Total Cost Involved IFS (lower is longer). They use press-in ball joints and urethane bushings.For ride, handling, and adjustability nothing beats Air Ride Technologies Shock Waves. Here the fronts are being installed.One of the unique features of the Total Cost Involved IFS are the upper control arm eccentrics. By rotating them, camber is set; by moving them fore and aft, caster is adjusted--simple and effective.After the upper A-frame is installed the alignment can be approximated. Note the two set screws that hold the eccentric in place; the visible hole is for a tool to move the eccentric when adjustments are necessary.
With the front suspension complete, the manual rack can be installed. It's a straight shot from the steering shaft, under the motor mount to the column.For strength and reliability, a Currie 9-inch rearend was selected, it will be mounted via four bars.The Panhard bar mounts to the snout of the Currie centersection and a bracket on the left framerail.The brake pedal, dual chamber master cylinder, and vacuum booster mount to the X-member. Brake and air suspension plumbing was installed by Total Cost Involved; that's the hydraulic brake light switch on the right.Brake and air lines were made from stainless steel with AN connections used throughout. The upper fitting is an air line for the suspension, the lower is a brake line connection.

Aloofness is a noun meaning a state of being distant, remote, or withdrawn. Someone showing aloofness might be shy, or just really doesn't want to be around people.
Aloofness is from the adjective aloof — originally a nautical term. The lee side of a ship was the sheltered side, but in a storm, if the wind was blowing your ship toward shore, you wanted to steer toward the loof (or weather side) of the ship, so that you weren't forced into the shore. Thus literally trying to keep your distance from shore by steering a loof, which gave rise to the more figurative meaning of being distant.
Definitions of aloofness
n a disposition to be distant and unsympathetic in manner
- Synonyms:
- remoteness, standoffishness, withdrawnness
- Types:
a disposition to be unapproachable; unfriendly and inaccessible
- Type of:
unsociability, unsociableness
an unsociable disposition; avoiding friendship or companionship
n indifference by personal withdrawal
- Synonyms:
- distance
- Type of:
unbiased impartial unconcern

Voters in Washington and three other states are now hearing what Californians heard during that state's ballot fight over same-sex marriage: that, if approved, gay marriage could be taught at your child's school.
One difference this time around is the speed of the response from gay marriage supporters, who said they were prepared for a TV commercial that opponents started airing Monday in Washington arguing that if gay marriage is approved, "schools can teach that boys can marry boys."
Supporters of same-sex marriage responded the very same day with their own ad featuring a teacher and her husband gently reassuring parents that it's up to them to teach values at home.
Zach Silk, who is managing the campaign in support of Referendum 74 to allow gay and lesbian couples to wed, said supporters learned a lesson from 2008 ads in California. In that instance, the response from their side was seen as weak, and voters there banned same-sex marriage.
R-74 supporters also had ready criticism for their opponents' ad, which highlighted the true story of how a Massachusetts teacher read a book to second-graders about a same-sex wedding — and which could lead voters to wrongly think R-74 changes school curriculum.
"There is absolutely nothing in R-74 or the new marriage law that will change anything at all in our schools or in our curriculum. This is a red herring," Randy Dorn, the state superintendent of public instruction, said in a statement released by R-74 supporters. Dorn said curriculum is changed locally as part of a long process involving school boards, educators and parents.
The supporters' ad, however, doesn't point out that the law would not change school curriculum — and their opponents actually agree with the ad's main point about parents teaching values at home.
"This is a conversation that parents should be able to have at home with their kid at a time of their own choosing," said Chip White, a spokesman for the anti-R-74 effort. "Not every 6- and 7-year-old is ready to hear about a man marrying a man."
Opponents don't have evidence of a widespread trend of that happening, but they do cite the second-grade teacher in Lexington, Mass., who in 2006 read aloud a book celebrating a marriage between two princes.
Same-sex marriage is legal in Massachusetts. Washington, Maine and Maryland voters are deciding through Nov. 6 whether to follow suit, while Minnesotans are considering a ban.
Ads in all four of the deciding states show footage of parents of a child in the Lexington school, who sued along with the parents of a second-grader. The child of the couple in the ad had been given a book in kindergarten that didn't deal with marriage but that did describe different kinds of families, including those with same-sex parents. That episode also involved a dispute about whether parents had a chance to review the book in advance.
Federal courts declined to force the school to let parents opt out of such lessons or to give them advance notice.
The courts' decisions didn't hinge on Massachusetts' marriage law. But they didn't ignore it, either. Gay rights groups mentioned the law in legal briefs, and a judge wrote that the books reflected a "school system's effort to educate its students to understand and respect gays, lesbians and the families they sometimes form in Massachusetts, which recognizes same-sex marriage."
R-74 opponents' lawyers wrote in a letter to TV stations that R-74 would force lessons to conform to a new definition of marriage and that schools would be free to adopt a new curriculum to reflect the change.
Educators said curriculum wouldn't change except through a separate, public process.
"I cannot envision a circumstance under which the initiative one way or another would impact curriculum development in our school district," said University Place School Superintendent Patti Banks, who stressed she wasn't speaking for or against R-74.
To add new topics or materials to the curriculum, Banks said, the School Board would have to vote after review by an advisory committee that includes parents and teachers.

England and Wales became the 16th and 17th countries to recognize gay marriage July 17 when Queen Elizabeth II gave "royal assent" to a same-sex marriage bill. The law allows same-sex couples to be joined in either civil ceremonies or church services, although it doesn't require any religious denomination to perform the marriage. Separate legislation has been presented to the Scottish government to make same-sex marriage legal, and debates are expected to begin in Edinburgh in October.

Want to read more than just a testimonial? You can check out a few full reviews our current consultants published on their blogs here:
"The Duct Tape Consulting Network has opened up an international community of like-minded consultants to my business. I have been consulting for over 15 years, but with all the changes in the world of marketing I needed to be sure that I was still adding value for my clients. My clients now benefit from the latest tools, know-how and cumulative experience of this great group of people.
Being a part of the Network has given me confidence that I am continuing to offer value, and so much more. The future is very exciting."- Georgie Gallagher, Wild Moon
"The Duct Tape Marketing training workshop provides you with incredible value. You will learn first hand how to provide real value for your clients with a thorough marketing system that is adaptable to all industry categories.
The training and the system are practical, useful and cutting edge. John and his team genuinely care and are there to help you and your business succeed. I highly recommend this program for anyone that is considering it. It will be one the best business decisions you have made."- Patrick Whalen, Extension Marketing
"Being part of this community has been extremely helpful to my business. When I have a question, there is always somebody in the network willing to share ideas and know-how.
The greatest value to me has been the in-person events, such as the Annual Summit and the Unconference. It's also great to have access to John Jantsch and his team. They work hard every day to make the network better." – Judy Habel, Crywolf Marketing
"The straightforward and practical aspects of the System and associated assets helped our business advance the revenue goals of our clients. That has been and continues to be, the ultimate measure of success. The philosophy of marketing as a system allows Valens Point to clearly distinguish itself from others in the market, and as our company has grown and advanced, so has the Duct Tape Marketing system.
The addition of new processes, tools, and partners allows us to continue to enhance the value we provide our clients. I look forward to a long and rewarding association with the entire network."- David Smith, Valens Point
"I joined the Duct Tape Network to have access to the Duct Tape System. It echos precisely what I believe small business owners need. BUT, the best surprise in being part of the Network is the Network – the other consultants I've met, partnered with and now am writing books with.
Not only are we all in the same boat and can share and learn from each others' experience and expertise, but we also directly help each other build our businesses through partnerships. I'd do it again in a second just for the relationships!"- Mark Fortune, Fortune Marketing
"As a marketing consultant, I felt like I was doing a good job with my clients but felt that something was missing. I knew that in order to grow my business I needed to add more value to my clients, and I needed a process for delivering marketing services to my clients. That is exactly what I found with Duct Tape Marketing.
I would recommend the Duct Tape Marketing network to anyone new to the consulting business or to someone looking to take their practice to the next level. Like a franchise, the network provides resources, support, and constant information. But unlike a franchise, members can grow their business as they wish, and to reap the benefits of their hard work without restriction. By far one of the best decisions I have made in my career."- Tom Kunkel, Full House Marketing and Print
"I was drawn to the Duct Tape Marketing Consultant Network for a couple of reasons. First, I was drawn to being able to offer a complete marketing system to my clients. Second, I really like coaching my clients. The Duct Tape Marketing System provides me with great online coaching and mentoring tools, and a real way to differentiate myself with them. These together allow be to add so much value to my clients.
The real and unexpected bonus was the community that is the Duct Tape Marketing Consulting Network. It's nice to have a community to refer to and to bounce ideas off of!"- Ken Tucker, Changescape Web
"When I first joined the network it was to introduce to my clients a system for building out their marketing. I never realized how little I knew and over the last few years the network has taken me from behind the curve to ahead of it. John and his staff are always willing to go the extra mile to help out and the connections are worth the investment made all by itself.
My own marketing has benefited from the lessons of the network, and the summits and workshops are always teaching us something new. There seems to be a real interest in making things better all the time and adding value to each of our own businesses. I highly recommend the network for anyone looking to build their own business with a highly reputable and known organization with great people who all have tremendous skills." – Brad Tornberg, Market Simplicity

text: Red Cross Blood Donations Decrease as Holidays Approach By Jessica Nath • Nov 18, 2014 Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs a blood transfusion, and that need doesn't diminish over the holiday season. But the number of blood donations does decrease this time of year, according to Marianne Spampinato, Red Cross spokeswoman. "People get busy with holiday activities, and travel and we also have longer periods when schools are out of session," Spampinato said. "Businesses may be shorter staffed, and unable to support local blood drives as much as they do other times of the year." Red Cross: Blood Shortage Could Lead to an Emergency By Jess Lasky • Jul 23, 2014 One of the last things people might think about on a beautiful summer day is giving blood, and the American Red Cross is starting to notice that the drop in donations could be serious. Blood donations have decreased by 8 percent over the last 11 weeks meaning that the Red Cross is down by approximately 80,000. "This shortfall is significant enough that without increased donor turnout we could experience an emergency situation in coming weeks," said Marianne Spampinato, Red Cross's External Communications Manager. Blood Donations Drop During Holiday Season, Though Need Continues By Deanna Garcia • Dec 25, 2013 It's the "season of giving" but in the hustle and bustle of the season, some forget that can also mean giving blood. Each year, blood and platelet donations drop off during this time of year, according to the American Red Cross Greater Alleghenies Blood Services Region. There are several reasons for the decline. "One is the holidays," said spokeswoman Marianna Spampinato. "People are busy shopping, baking, decorating, enjoying themselves – which is great, but meanwhile, patients are still in hospitals needing transfusions."

Park has many sites. Some with views of the lake. We were in site 12, highly recommend. Concrete pads nice and level, but too narrow, stairs open over drop off. Most all sites are like this. Spacious sites with good privacy. Would stay here again. - drfife

The drought has severely impacted the water level in the lake, and the boat launches are unusable. However, the campgrounds were well-maintained and the facilities were clean and in good repair. Sites were paved and level enough for us, and midweek in the fall there were few other campers, making this a very nice experience. We saw lots of wildlife, and enjoyed walking through the park. Staff was great and we enjoyed the peace and quiet. - leorah

Beware--there are only 2 sites with sewer, but there is a dump station. The area is beautiful, the sites are huge, and some have shelters over the picnic tables. All the sites are concrete. The pluses are huge. But, the general park could sure use some cleaning up-- downed trees, dead trees, dead brush. It could be so much prettier. Keep in mind that the lake is 10-15 feet low. The boat ramps, fishing piers, and canoes are unusable. We were there for 3 weeks for business. Sulphur Springs is really cute and 25 minutes away. The Crump Family Vineyard is excellent and serves meals. - Autigerinnc70

Beware of this park. The campsites are sandwiched in. Big holes in the road, couldn't level our camper at all. Stayed one night, went to another town for a cleaner place to stay. Oh and the pool was green and it's a man made tank not a lake. Will never ever ever come back here. - hopie
Sep 2012 - $23.00
This is an old park. The person in the office was not particularly friendly. The roads, while navigable, are in terrible shape... lots of dips and potholes. There are a lot of old trashy RVs. The voltage is not particularly robust, as it stays between 110 and 114. On the plus side, the water pressure is good and the hookups are convenient. I would not stay here again. We stayed here in a motor home. - Gator67
Jul 2012 - $25.00
Nice park, owners very accommodating (stayed late to await our arrival). Sites were grass but watch out for fire ants. Some of the mounds were rather large. Very quiet, appeared to have some permanent residents. Pet friendly, clean and easy access for large rigs. Convenient to interstate 30. Only stayed overnight, but would stay again if just passing through. - User2265
