My employer has (and has had) some awesome board members. I can't recall which it was but one of them was involved eith designing and managing those speaker arrays. Can't find my notes; I'll have to ask our CEO who it was.
The whole border was lax. We just walked across the bridge from El Paso to Juarez, just part of the crowd.
Thunderbird Thursday in Technicolor...
I think they claimed 15-20 but I'm not really sure. I have 11 right now and could easily add more.
From the family photo album?
The company’s instructions, information, videos are pretty good. I used their hardware. Used a good stud finder and measured, marked, remeasured etc. Attached to every stud and used the anchors in between each stud. It’s really solid, but I followed their instructions to the letter. There are posts on here of people who had problems, but they obviously didn’t follow the instructions.
I have 8 on the 4’ and I think it’s a bit crowded; I’ll stop at seven on each when done. I’d think 15 would be about the most I’d go with on an 8’ with the one in the middle flat like Noc’s Anniversary Tbird and the rest at 45 degrees. You can do more at 90 degrees using the longer brackets set at 90 degrees. It’s a good solution IMO.
That's more like Freaky Friday.
Hummm. My wife was born in 64. I'm wondering if I can find and give her a '64 Thunderbird for her birthday…. I'm starting to feel bad about being the only one in the household who has one. That's just not fair. She should have her own Thunderbird from her birth year. I have a couple basses from her birth year, but she has nothing. What kind of husband am I?
Please let me know at what point this starts to sound convincing and I can use this. I am thinking this isn't going to work.

A well-placed bridge cover would draw attention away from that.
pre drilled holes and all...A well-placed bridge cover would draw attention away from that.
...yours checkered like that?
No. IDK why not. It's somewhat worn looking but none of that.pre drilled holes and all...
does your floor mat say "GO AWAY"?..
It’s like when Homer bought Marge a bowling ball for her birthday. With HIS name on it. And drilled out for HIS fingers. That worked out in the end. After a long detour where Marge almost had an affair with a charming French bowling instructor... but it worked out in the end (and resulted in one of my favorite Simpson’s lines ever: “Hey Homer, where are you going?” “I’m going to the parking lot with the woman I love, and I won’t be back for TEN MINUTES!”).
Nice!
Thank you for Checking in on fractured Friday.
That brings to mind, I don't think I ever recall seeing a vintage Thunderbird with player wear through large portions of the finish like is so common on many 1960's and older era fenders. I imagine they're out there but I just can't recall seeing any. @JIO has a cool long running picture thread on TB highlighting honest excessive player wear, might be something there.

Naw, I think his floor mat says "If you're gonna bring the bacon don't wait till lunch"
That could cause some nasty breath.....Especially if it takes a while.Let us know how/if that works out for ya.We'll be waiting with bait on our breath.
