additional pictures. When the album was restored, the

Album. Added a LINK for a Model A, etc. parts company recommended by a fan. Also see the Message board. I also fixed all of the "forms" to highlight the email and name fields that are REQUIRED fields. Now you won't fill out the whole form and have it not work because you forgot to add your name. |

| Added some pictures of a custom Roadster top on car 709, and found Marlyand Roadster # 582 on eBay | 4/21/08 | |
| Today I changed the names of the folders in the Album. The use of the # sign was causing problems with the internet. Now, instead of car folder #-201-300 for VINs in that range, the folder is called VIN--201-300. Any links that I missed will not work with the album, although most of the links are on the owners page and they have been changed to match the new system. (This is why I always used to have to use the camera picture to link to the album. Word links just didn't work with the old naming system. | 4/18/08 | |
| Added a little bit about the RED wiring throughout Replicars, with some pics of the chaos behind the dashboard. | 4/16/08 | |
| While you should not notice a change, I changed the file name of the f - o - r - m used to submit to the message board. It works the same, but the name of the web page may have been responsible for the TONS of spam nonsense I get every day. It all works the same, only automated spies will not find the name that appears above among my files - same item, different name. I only post this info at all in case I missed a link to that item on the site somewhere. | 4/14/08 | |
| Where can one get a LUGGAGE RACK? asked on the Message board | 4/12/08 | |
| Arizona Phaeton # 1296 spotted on eBay. Lots of nice pics in this listing. | 4/11/08 | |

car shows reported on the Message

album. Car 1133 on eBay in Florida also car 1166 in Nebraska also on eBay |
4/10//08 | |
| Another mailing went out to the mailing list people.
If you missed it, see it HERE.
Upcoming car show on the Message
board and parts for sale (homepage, menu item # 17) In 2002 I posted the restoration project of car 144. I named the files with an odd system, and today, finally, I corrected the file naming on the website. This makes no change to the viewers, but it bothered me like gum stuck on my shoe. Whatever year your car, look at Fred Johnson's great restoration project on Car 144 for inspiration. |
4/9/08 | |
| Has anyone moved their battery in a later Replicar?
see the Message board Also some 1978 steering rack info added here. Note: I am about 3/4 of the way through the comprehensive index as I fill in the technical chart . After that, I will start going through every other page on the website to find technical info to add to the right place on the chart.
Yet another "repeat-donator" to the Annex. Thank you, James, and, once more, your name is added to the Hall of Fame. |
4/6/08 | |
| OK, in the "not really essential" category
- two different concept
pics of what a Glassic Woodie, or Woody might
look like. Who will be the first to actually build one? Added Florida Phaeton # 108 to owners list. Spotted on eBay |
4/4/08 | |
| Missouri Phaeton Car 197 (with the rare 4-wheel drive) is for sale and has been added to the Annex PREMIER GALLERY | 4/3/08 | |
| Another "multiple-donator" to the Annex
website. Thank you, Tom, and, again, your name
appears in the Hall of Fame. People like Tom make this site available without dues, or membership, or passwords. EVERYONE should thank him! |
4/2/08 | |
| Nevada Phaeton # 742 is on eBay as a FOR SALE car. | 3/31/08 | |
| OOPS -- in an
effort to curb the dozens of daily spam mails that I get
where a spam program fills out out things like the OWNERS
FORM and the MESSAGE BOARD FORM - I
accidentally blocked my own server that forwards those
forms to me. THAT is why I suddenly got NO spam or
valid replies in the last two days or so. (I fixed it
today) IF YOU COMPLETED A FORM TO THE ANNEX IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND GOT NO RESPONSE, PLEASE RE-SEND IT. |
3/29/08 | |
| First new car to be registered on the owners list in
quite a while is car #1304, a "For Sale"
Phaeton in SWITZERLAND ! Added some pics of yellow Phaeton # 141  Added more pics to the album of V-8 swap car # 189 |
3/28/08 | |
| New part for sale AD - see main Annex page, menu item # 17. | 3/27/08 | |
| Added a "search this page" box at the top
of the technical
chart -- I was finding it slow to find the item I was
looking for, in spite of the new organization of the
data. Note: If you don't find a word, let me know. For example, I tried "Air Conditioner" and it didn't find it since the title had been "Air CONDITIONING" -- I fixed that one. |
3/25/08 | |
| Did 'ya ever have one of THOSE days? I got some more
info on rear ends, from the owner of car # 1148, and
thought I would add some info. All I did was add confusion since my
rear end tag does not seem to match the codes. Then I found out that my new tire size was NOT what I had reported, but is actually smaller in diameter than the original. The wider tires do improve traction, but the smaller diameter will not help gas mileage AT ALL. |
3/24/08 | |
| Added some info about rear end gear ratios and the AOD transmission swap | 3/23/08 | |
| Several items: car
#189 fancy valve covers, some pics of
"built" engine in #1290,
an update on car u004 (which
has a custom top) - Car u004 has several pictures, and I
fixed the index some so that it is easier to find. Added another viewer idea on how to get those hood side panels off and on more easily. Note: As I work on the technical chart, I am finding all sorts of very sloppy housekeeping and am trying to fix some of it along the way. For example, when adding pics of car u004 and its unusual top, I noticed that car 914 (the Roadster with a sunroof) was not even on the page of modified tops. |
3/18/08 | |
| Message board -more additions. Updates on car #189 tach added, and #1290 u-joint failing and upgrades car #913 has been getting. | 3/08/08 | |
| The migration begins to the new TECHNICAL SECTION
chart. This is an attempt to organize the mish-mash of
info that we have accumulated over the years. It will
take MONTHS to move everything onto this chart page.
Comments, errors in links, etc. please email me: GlassicAnnex@aol.com Added "Technical Section" to the quick links - right hand side at the top of the home page. Turned down and shortened the aoogah sound on the home page. |

| Car 223, a 1967 Phaeton in Michigan, is FOR SALE -
see the owners list. Added some details to car 1288

2/11/08 | |
| Added a page about auto transport - why I didn't do this in 2006, when I used the service, I don't know. | 2/10/08 | |
| For my regular viewers: -- "Quick Links" on the top of the home page, just under the Glassic Annex name, -- mouse over it and get access to some frequently visited pages without scrolling down the home page to find them. | 2/9/08 | |
| Car 905, an OREGON Phaeton, is for
sale. Car details are HERE, contact info is on the
owners list. Another cash donation means much gratitude from the Annexmaster and another name in the Hall of Fame. |
2/8/08 | |

| The Photo
album has been restored. The recovery was not a
smooth one, however. If you find any odd behavior or
problems please send
me an email describing the problem. My darling wife was in Orlando and inspected the brand new Marriott we have booked for our 8-8-8 reunion and says it is GREAT. Very nice rooms and amenities! Nice meeting room. |
2/2/08 | |
| AOD transmission. Began a
topic for those thinking of converting to an
overdrive transmission. Also, I added a write-up about Roadster leg room. Also, realizing my own mechanical ineptitude, I started a GAG list -- send YOUR humorous examples in. |
1/31/08 | |
| Owners list: Car 1178 has moved from Canada to a new owner in CT. When the album is back, check out this interesting car. Car 141 in MI, supplied a current email and phone # Message board item added - parts for sale and other mods to car 1148. |
1/30/08 | |
| Sent out a mailing about Roadsters for sale, a reunion update and the website fiasco. If you missed it, a copy is HERE | 1/29/08 | |
| The yellow background on the log is no longer necessary. I believe that all of the website has been restored as of 6:30 am EXCEPT the photo album. My internet provider has referred the job ticket and it is just a matter of waiting our turn to have it put back. -- If anything OTHER than the photo album doesn't work, please email me -- GlassicAnnex@aol.com | 1/29/08 | |
| Much of the content has been restored - but I added an "oops" page where the Album should be since it may be a while before it can be restored. | 1/28/08 | |
| update on file restoration: The album is GONE for the
time being. Those files (I have copies of the pictures,
not the album setup) were only on the provider's service,
not on my computer too. I will ask THEM to restore them,
but it won't happen for a few days as they try to fix
many other complaints. My Annex folder consists of about 3500 files that need to go back onto the site. THAT'S why it will take a while. |

CHAOS! -- at about 3 am. Sunday, my internet provider accidentally wiped out about 150 entire accounts - including the Annex. They restored the account, but did not restore any files in a timely manner so I am doing it myself. It will be some time before everything is working right, however, so bear with me. Mon. 4pm. I re-loaded the entire photo album, and when I looked, it was not there. Meanwhile I have loaded some files, but many things won't work right or be complete for some time. |

| Scrapbook 5 has disappeared!
The contents of that book have been moved to the Annex New Album.
Some folders have only one or two pics in them, but more
will be coming. I am not adding captions to ALL pics like I planned. Only when something is unusual. The SEARCH function in the new album will only have items that are "different". Searching "top" will only find custom or odd tops, for example |

| I think I found a good
picture album program! Have a look at it and send
comments, problems, suggestions to GlassicAnnex@aol.com
For now, I am starting to move pics from Scrapbook 5 to this new album. Note, the little folders look different if there ARE any pictures in them. Annex New Album My thought is to move all pics there except event pics and restoration project pages. Suggestions welcome. |
