Re: 1987 Evtm Reply #15 – May 08, 2005, 08:49:02 PM Ericsomewhere in the mist of my previous emails to ford, it occured to me that you might wanna take this bull by the horns. reasons are pretty self explanitory based on the last contact. Being that im not the owner or said person in charge of the event we want to take place,, you might wanna jump in. the next email i get,, ill cc you and explain the transition to the tradmark guy and handoff this off to you.if you dont wanna ,, ill finish what i started.

Re: 1987 Evtm Reply #17 – May 09, 2005, 03:37:08 PM Just got off the phone with Jim Kuntz with FoMoCo and straight and to the point,, we can not post electronic manuals on the internet.Other offeres were made to reproduce the manual following the process ford has in place but no one on the internet would ever be allowed to post manuals in soft copy residing on a server.We are, on the other hand, allowed to produce our own drawings and post them without any issues. Ford has a large revenue bin within the restoration and reproduction arena of older cars and such. Its possible that if we were to post this manual here , it would creat a monitary loss for those companies working for ford under agreed terms and conditions. Quote Selected

Possible? Certainly. Probable? Don't bet money on it. Ford is leaving the door open for them but closing it nearly all the way for us...you know, the people that BOUGHT THE FRICKIN' CARS IN THE FIRST PLACE. I smell a bunch of marketing I thank you for the effort, Scott. You've gone above and beyond the call of duty. Take a bow! And for anyone that needs a copy of an EVTM book: scour eBay. They're on there all the time. Better to line someone else's pockets than Ford's. Quote Selected
Re: 1987 Evtm Reply #21 – May 29, 2005, 01:14:57 PM sorry to dig this up, but what if we were to "serve" it on a email address, called (example only) foxtbirdcougarforums@yahoo.com or something like that, and set it up so that you can be sent out a copy by the page number automatically? then it isnt actually in a server, and there sint any liablility Quote Selected
