PUGET SOUND EARLY BIRDS

CHAPTER 81

CLASSIC THUNDERBIRD CLUB INTERNATIONAL

VOLUME 21, NO. 3 & 4 MARCH/APRIL 2014

DEDICATED TO THE PRESERVATION, ADMIRATION, AND OWNERSHIP OF THE "CLASSIC THUNDERBIRD"

Yes, it’s true, it was under the leadership and encouragement of our president that the rowdy crew from PSEB descended upon SODO and the rest is, well, history. After several ‘cold ones’ at Pyramid Brewery, the group got into ’it’, and we all wound up in the CLINK!

It’s a sure bet if you asked anyone who attended the February PSEB tour of Century Link Field what they remember most, it would be the end of the tour. No, not because the tour was

PUGET SOUND EARLY BIRDS MARCH/APRIL 2014

February’s Event turned out to be fascinating and interesting, Century Link Field is very large and is used almost daily for events of some kind. We started our day with an enjoyable lunch at Pyramid Brewery and visit prior to the tour. The Brewery allowed us to park there at no charge.

One of the most interesting parts was when we were down on the field, proba-bly about 40 of us on the tour when we were asked to yell “SEAHAWKS” it was pretty amazing how the sound from our tour group echoed throughout the stadium.

On a sadder note, one of our members Jay Vasconcelos passed away on Feb-ruary 10th from a massive stroke, our condolences to Judy.

One of our other members, Judy Roupe, is on the mend after a fall.

Please note on your calendars Thursday, April 17th we will be revisiting the North West School of Wooden Boat Building to see the completed projects that were started in the early part of the school year. It will be interesting to see the final results. More details forthcoming relative to time, lunch and meeting place.

For those of us that didn’t attend the early visit to the Wooden Boat School, Pete Leenhouts, the Ex-ecutive Director, is a retired naval officer. So, I’m sure that our members who are retired Navy and Pete will have a lot to talk about.

Since our last month’s outing was canceled due to the weather, it rained, imagine that, this issue will be a little longer than most others.

Our editor included a lengthy article written by a retired Ford Executive, Barry Levey, who, early in his career, was assigned to the Northwest to support Ford’s service departments. I met Barry last summer on his return from Whidbey Island. I believe Der also met him. He wrote the article for the vintage Mustang magazine, but he states that it can be replicated on almost all older Ford products. Barry’s friend, the late Bill Wells, was the retired head of Lincoln—Mercury marketing and early bird lover. He had three at last count. He was also partly responsible for obtaining the original invoices from The American Road Thunderbird Club [TARTC]. Sue Wells is still listed as the Membership Chairperson.

If anyone is interested in obtaining the invoices, the following is required:

TARTC has all 1956 and 1957 invoices and some 1955 invoices from Serial No. 232214 on. They are available to C.T.C.I members at a cost of $50.00 (U.S. funds) each. The original invoice will be provided when available. Otherwise a photocopy of the original will be mailed. All orders must in-clude:

1. A Data Plate Tracing - this may be done by putting a piece of paper over the Data Plate and rub-bing with a pencil or a dirty finger.

2. A copy of Positive Proof of Ownership - please do not send the original.

3. A check or money order for $50.00 (U.S. funds, please do not send cash) payable to T.A.R.T.C. invoices.

Please allow approximately 6 to 8 weeks for delivery and send to: T.A.R.T.C. Invoices, P.O. Box 363

Clarkston, MI 48347-0363



over, it was because of that gathering in the southwest corner of Century Link field when we became the “12th Man” cheering for the home team. We were coached by the tour guide to cheer “Seahawks” We all know that Seahawks fans are the loudest in the league. Now we know how that happens; the cheer reverberates throughout the stadium. Unable to resist the temptation we all cheered again, louder this time, ‘SEAHAWKS” and achieved an even better result.

We met at the Pyramid Ale House for a rainy day lunch and, as usual, enjoyed each other’s company through

the lunch hour until our host, Duane, signaled it was time to head over to the “CLINK” for our tour.

Tour groups gather in the pro shop where we wandered around for about a half hour marveling at the crowd of shoppers and the tabs they were running up, some into four figures. The shop offers NHL Champion Seahawks gear as well as a corner with Sounders clothing and souvenirs. We saw some very interesting items the shop.

Promptly at two o’clock our tour guide led a into a warehouse

type area under the stands and directed us to the only clean rest room available in the entire stadium saying thorough cleaning of all areas was underway after a recent event. The tour group of about thirty were led through the crates and cartons stored there from the Home Show. First stop: The Tunnel through which the Hawks enter the field and then we paused to admire the display of football team helmets from every high school in the state of Washington.

To describe the stadium in just a few paragraphs is much like explaining the entire function of a Thunderbird engine. Most of us have only seen Century Link field on television and one cannot begin to picture the

enormity of that structure. An elevator took us almost to the topmost level where we had an incredible view not only of the entire stadium, but the huge scoreboard and the city skyline beyond that to the north. From our vantage point we could see much of the Port facility. As we moved around the perimeter of the stadium we had a bird’s eye view of the SR99 tunnel staging work area.

The interior portions of the stadium took us into the television, radio broadcast booths and the silent journalist space with no communication with the outside

where journalists from around the country report their own commentary of the game as they see it. We enjoyed seeing the lounges and (super-boxes). Moving on toward the locker rooms we could hear a band rehearsing and were told they were getting ready for the event in the stadium the following day. Much to the disappointment of most of us, we never got into the players’ locker room where they keep their personal belongings. We were limited to the visitor’s and “Seagals” locker room (sans Seagals).

Several times along the way we were able to look down into what appeared to be a banquet hall with dozens of tables set for a large gathering. Eventually we walked through that space and learned it was set and ready for high school football players from across the state for a 6:30 AM breakfast saluting them the next day.

With so many areas having been explored, we paused to look at some large photographs of Paul Allen and other key investors on the wall. From there we moved onto

the field itself and gathered in the southwest corner for that memorable cheer.

“SEAHAWKS!”

There was but one disappointment in the entire day and that was not seeing the Super Bowl trophy the home team worked so hard to earn. It is housed at the practice field in Renton.

Hosts and chauffeurs, Duane and Nancy, loaded the group into their Suburban and headed for the ferry and home. We all agreed, especially mega-fan Phil McCurdy, that it was an especially interesting outing for PSEB. Thank you Duane and Nancy for making the arrangements and for getting us there and back safely.




When one thinks of improving the performance and/or safety of classic Ford Mustangs, dreams of horsepower, brakes, and racing suspensions dance in our heads. However, there are other performance and safety improvements that can not only increase your driving enjoyment, but also keep your vehicle safe and make electrical improvements to your 40+ year old vehicle.

As designed, the classic Mustang runs the full amperage required to operate the headlights and horns through the entire circuit, subjecting some very old parts to some very high current flow. In addition, running the amperage through the entire circuit creates fairly long power runs, opening the possibility of significant voltage drops; causing high current demand and less light or sound output.

New and improved wiring is a great upgrade but not always practical nor cost effective, so I thought I’d narrow the subject to a few simple, reversible and extremely cost-effective items: the addition of headlight and horn relays to your classic Mustang.

A relay is basically a switch that is triggered by a small electrical signal. In our application, we’ll mount the low-beam, high-beam and horn relays close to the load (the headlights and the horns) and use the headlight switch (via the dimmer switch) and the horn switch (steering wheel hub button) to trigger the relays. Basically, we’re keeping the switch wiring intact but using it for a low load trigger signal and using the relays to create a high power, more direct power path for the lights and horn.

The wiring from the switches to the headlight and horns runs along the left inner fender panel from the firewall to the radiator support. The low-beam wire is red with a black stripe; the high-beam wire is green with a black stripe; the horn wire is blue with a yellow stripe; and the main power from your primary electrical system is carried by a large black with a yellow striped wire in that same loom. Because the primary electrical circuit is available in the same real estate as the load (lights and horns) inserting circuit breakers and relays becomes a fairly simple task.

A short primer on relays: You want to purchase three automotive 12V relays with at least a 30 amp capacity in the normally open mode. Relays come in 4 or 5 wire configuration, either is


By Barry Levey

Editor’s Note: As mentioned in the President’s Message, the following article was written for the Mustang Magazine, but the writer, a retired Ford Executive believes that this will work on almost all vintage Ford products. It is used with his permission.



OK. Please see Illustration 1 for an explanation of how the relays will be wired.

You will also want to purchase two, automatic reset 30 amp circuit breakers. You may also need a small amount of additional 14 gauge wire (or wires if you want to have different colors for each circuit), some heat shrink wrap, electrical tape, wire connectors and mounting nuts/bolts to complete the installation. See Illustration 2 for an explanation of the overall wiring scheme.

It is very helpful to create a mock layout of the relays and circuit breakers to understand exactly where each component will be located and the length of additional wire required to reach each component. Once you are happy with the layout, the components can be pre-mounted (although the relays may need to be removed for wiring).

Now comes the scary part.

Disconnect the negative cable from your battery as we need to disable the electrical system.

Carefully un-wrap the wiring loom approximately 8 to 10 inches from the radiator support, exposing the individual wires.

Cut the red/black, green/black, and blue/yellow wires. You now have two sets of wires: one set coming from the firewall (where the switches are) and one set going to the radiator support (where the loads are).

In no particular order, using connectors (preferably soldered and protected with heat shrink) add the




amount of additional wire needed to each of the three cut wires coming from the firewall and connect these extensions to the 85 tab on the relay -- one to each relay.

Now use the same method to extend and connect the three wires going to the radiator support. Each of these wires will be attached to the 87 tab on their respective relay. It is extremely important that the relay with red/black wire on tab 85 has the continuation of that red/black wire on tab 87; green/black 85 to green/black 87 ; and blue/yellow 85 to blue/yellow87. That way the high beams turn on the high beams, the low beams turn on the low beams, and the button honks the horn.

Carefully strip the insulation away from the black/yellow wire and solder a piece of your additional wire to create a T-junction and shrink wrap. This wire will be attached to input side of the first circuit breaker.

Once the first circuit breaker is wired on the input side, create a jumper wire to connect the input side of circuit breaker one to the input side of circuit breaker two. Now, both circuit breakers should be connected to the wire tee’d into the black/yellow wire in the loom.

Connect a wire from output side of circuit breaker one to the 30 tab on your horn relay (the one connected to the blue/yellow wires in loom).

Create two jumper wires and connect both to the output side of circuit breaker two. Connect one of these wires to tab 30 to the red/black relay and the one to tab 30 on the green/black relay.

Almost last, but certainly not least, find a well grounded point to attach 3 jumper wires on the body and run one-each to the 86 tab on the relays.

Finally, make sure all of your connections and splices are insulated and re-tape the open portion of your main wiring loom. Neatness counts if you want it to look factory installed.

Congratulations! You have just added relay and circuit protection to your headlights and horns, relieving your ancient switches and wiring from carrying high amperage loads and shortening the current path at the same time. The reward is brighter lights, a louder horn and safer wire loads – all for less than $50 dollars.


Norman Klein of Suffern, New York, fell in love with Early Birds and so he’s looking for one.. Why con-tact the Northwest? Well, having come from NJ (and spent a lot of time in Suffern), the simple an-swer is: They use salt in the Northeast.

He is looking for that “Dream” bird. Below is his wish list, but he’s flexible on it. If you are or know someone who wishes to sell an Early Bird, he would greatly appreciate an email from you.

Kitsap County Food Bank Coalition: Many of our neighbors are unaware of the hungry in our area. Kitsap County Food Bank Coalition is a great resource for those who wish to help in their area. Their website, http://www.kcfbc.com/food_bank_list.html, provides eight food banks for those who wish to help. Contact information: http://www.kcfbc.com/contact.html.

Helping low income families with school supplies: Getting our kids a good education so they can compete in the world of tomorrow starts early. However, many kids never get out of box because they can’t afford the necessary school supplies to help them. Gas prices are high again this year, which adds to the cost for those who are barely making ends meet, particularly in those schools where 55+% qualify for a free or reduced cost lunch.

How can you help? There are several ways; your local church is a good resource; the Kitsap School District or your local area schools could provide information; and, then there are community organizations like the Kiwanis Club. Scott Kingsbury, who was president of the Gig Harbor Kiwanis Club three years ago, said they hold fund raisers throughout the year and spend roughly $15,000 on supplies for between 200 and 300 needy students on Key Peninsula alone. The Kiwanis Club gathers backpacks, pencils, etc. and clothing to give to low income families.

Many PSEBers visited the school last year, just after their school year began. We were able to see the projects, training and facility. We were invited back again, but this time to see their nearly finished product.

Those of us who went on the tour found it fascinating and very informative. To quote Ted Austin, who has been there a number of times, “Every time I visit the school, I learn something new.” Now, that’s one heck of a compliment from a guy who is restoring a 1910 Buick with its wooden body.

When visited last time, Pete Leenhouts, the Executive Director, was looking for donations of tools, such as draw knives, spokeshaves, hand planes, braces and bits, clamps. wood chisels and other woodworking tools that we no longer use. The students purchase them and then refurbish them to use during the school year. So, if any member has some of these that they no longer use, please bring them along. Your donation is tax deductible.

Dave Demory sent the following item along to his fellow PSEBers.

Many of us have seen Dave’s ‘teardrop’ vintage trailer that he tows behind his ‘55 Bird. Well, Dave contacted Jack Pumphrey at Jack Pumphrey Arts (www.jackpumphreyarts.com or [email protected]) to obtain a quotation for some art work.

Dave said it was an interesting project. Dave sent him a large JPG file (at least 300 dpi) and Jack sent him the mock up below (it’s a partial scan because the mock up was too large for your editor’s scanner), which apparently Jack had PhotoShopped much of the background.

Once this was completed, Jack sent Dave a number of proofs for him to review. Dave picked a couple and had one made into his name card.

Dave contracted for several items, so, if you wish some additional information on the process and costs, contact Dave. Contact information is, well, to the right.
