Subject: IML: $ Donations - where we're going with them

I'd like to report good news.

After the last round of donations came in, several things have happened.

1.  We now have every FSM with the exception of 1992 & 1993.  All but a 3
are scanned, and they are slowly filtering their way to the website, each
one representing about 10-40+ hours of work by our dedicated volunteers.  

1967 is just around the corner from being posted as I speak and we should
hopefully see it in the next few weeks.


2.  MTSC:  Out of 308 monthly booklets from 1947-1973, we are down to about
15 left to go.  This is a major pet project for the volunteers, and you may
be able to hear us collectively shout on the day that we get the last one
posted.  It's a Big Deal as far as we're concerned.

You'll likely hear about it, since we've been working on this for about a
decade now.  

If you don't know what MTSC is, we have favored it because it's probably
better than the Service Manual when it comes to explaining "why" and "how"
instead of "what", with each booklet designed to enable the thinking
mechanic to outwit his repair challenges by applying theory and not just
instructions from the factory.  


You can see the FSM and MTSC stuff here:

3.  Other stuff:  We are in the process of possibly having every year's
paint chip chart, owners' manual, and several other items complete or nearly
so across all years.


4.  Special items - we have a nice item from 1971 covering the Chelsea
Proving Grounds, a letter regarding prospective Ghia Limo Ownership from the
early 1960's, 1962/63 Service Bulletins, 1990's Dealership Feel-Good
Laser-Disc video, Black and White Movies of various Turbine cars (including
one featuring our own minor Diety, Virgil Exner), more sales and training
filmstrips, as well as some early 1950's catalogs that are true works of the
illustrator's art.  




The event that made these items move forward:  
Folks stepping up when I made the call for help with volunteered talent and
funding.





If you contributed, please accept the thanks of the club volunteers and
every single person that will ever look at the information that you enabled
to be posted to the site.  



By the way,
If you were short the $5+ that we were fishing for last time, and want to
join in, we can still use your assistance - see here:

We will now return to the regularly scheduled programming.
