When we got to a certain point in the restoration of my BT7, I was asked by Tom and Geno if I wanted side mirrors mounted. My initial reaction was “No Way!” Too much time and effort was put into making the fenders perfect to drill holes in them. They suggested that I mount mirrors in the side curtain sockets instead. Since I don’t drive the car in inclement weather (not by choice anyway) and I don’t have side curtains (or a top for that matter) it seemed like a perfect solution.
At the last club event several participents admired my mirrors so I thought I would describe how to do this. I wish it was a difficult task, but it isn’t. They really just bolt on.
Club member of many years, Robert Lingle Rounsefell, 75, passed away Saturday, May 10, 2008, at his home in Wendell after a brief illness.
He was born July 5, 1932, at Portland, Ore., to Harry N. Rounsefell and Ruth M. Rounsefell. His childhood years were in east Texas and Damascus, Ore. He graduated from the eighth grade at Union School, a country school where his mother had attended before him and later his children and a granddaughter. He graduated from high school at Gresham, Ore., with the class of 1950. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy on Dec. 8, 1950, where he attended Radioman Class “A” School, then worked as a radio operator and cryptographer. He then advanced to rank of RMSN. He served at Yokosuka and Tokyo, Japan, and with the Amphibians Squadron No. 2 and was honorably discharged on Sept. 13, 1954, and is a Korean veteran.
The average increase of collector car values — from February 2004 to February 2008 — was 36 percent, more than double the S&P 500 Index increase and the Dow Jones Industrial Average increase of 16 percent respectively during that same time frame, according to a report released today. The report, developed by NADAguides.com, a leading vehicle pricing and information website, evaluated close to 27,000 makes, models, model years and segments of collector cars, with some surprising findings.
