If you paid by money order, PM me with your address. Dooley, I sent you a PM on this, I think you were the only one.

Also, is there a Rick Vance here that might have paid for a DVD? I did not get a screen name with payment, so i can't fiure out who you are and if the payment was for this. PM me please.

PM replied to!

OK folks, all the DVD's are in the mail, you should be getting them shortly.

Thanks to all those who went in on this...made it much more feasible to do this, and we all get something in return. I only wish the quality was better, but what can you expect from 35+ year old reels and equipment that really can't convert this odd film format to begin with.

Enjoy, let me know what you think.

Thanks alot Jeff for all the time and effort you put into this project, I don't believe any of us will be disappointed....

Hat's off to ya !!!

Recived mine today. I just watched a little bit of it so far and wow what a great pice of history this is.
Just to watch the secnes that they shot with the truck driving around town and you see all the early 70's and 60's era cars driving around town its awsome. You are right about one thing the film does show its age but so far I am enjoying it totally worth the money.
Thanks Jeff for your time and energy in doing this.

My fravorite line so far out of it was when the guy was talking about the new for 73 BIG DOOLEY with its thrifty 454.

[bigblock73]

Glad you liked the DVD!

Has anyone else received or had a chance to watch theirs yet? I'd love to hear your opinion of it.

[boatpuller]

got it.and i loved it.very 73ish.lot's of two tones and vette chasing........made me think back,i was a ninth grader in 73.....thanks jeff.

[S10Fan]

Mine came yesterday, I'll check it out this weekend!

[Twisted78SS]

Just finished watching most of it, and like Boat said, takes me back to when I was younger and still remember how things were back then. If we only knew the value things would have, ... It's nice to reminisce

Thanks again, totally worth it to sneak a peek back in time.

[Jonboy]

I got mine the night before last. Thanks Jeff!

Recieved mine Thursday afternoon Jeff! I really enjoyed the 4x4 part of it! That orange and white 4x4 looked like one that I had back in the mid 80's! That sure brought back some good memories!

I really liked the comparison to the Furd truck. I wonder if they still do complete teardowns of their truck vs the competition today. The road test behind the Corvette was really cool as well. Comparing the 1972 vs 1973 following the Corvette through the road course was something to see too! All in all....GREAT videos, even though they show their age!

They were DEFINATELY worth saving from being lost forever! Great job on this Jeff! Thanks again for all your effort that went into this and for including all of us into it! ...Joe

I enjoyed watching the disc and I am still in for the 1979 version if you do that one! Thanks Jeff!

[Captkaos]

Watched it, loved it, want more!

Thanks for your time on this Jeff . I enjoyed the DVD. Will be in on the others if they come to be . Just let me know . I found some real interesting info on there like the fact that my 73 Super apparently had the factory tailpipe installed . I looked for it in the video and the design was exact . I also liked all of the rear Sport Bumpers .

I recieved mine last week. It is awesome! I love the glass full of ping pong balls.

[bigblock73]

I am glad you guys were all pleased! It makes it all worth it in the end.

If you guys want to convert Joes '79 set, and if Joe is OK with it of course, I will do what I can do on my end to make it happen.

His should turn out better than mine, my set was in rough shape.

[ElGracho]

I'm waiting to see what comes of it, but I bought the correct player on Ebay last week. It isn't working but I'm hoping I can fix it. I'll be able to take a look this Friday when it shows up.

If anyone cares, the player that plays the Mini Theater tapes is a Technicolor 1000 (1200 and 1300 should also work).

I'd like to hold off on the conversion until we see if this works. If it does, I think a digital movie camera might be all we need to see the 79 tapes. Let's cross our fingers.

[bigblock73]

Sounds like a better idea to me Joe!

How much did the player set you back? The way I look at it, we can all chip in to get the '79 DVD, and you can recoup the cost of your player at the same time.

I REALLY wanted that mini-theatre you sent me a link of (with stand, sign, player and tapes), but it was far away and the seller removed the listing early. THAT would have been sweet!

[ElGracho]

Player came today. It worked right out of the box. I think the seller didn't have any of the tapes and it must need them to turn on.

How should we get the picture on my wall (with sound) onto DVDs now?

Here's a pic. I put the Luv tape in first in case it ate it...

[Dooley]

Wow, that looks great!
