A history of Skitimes car (Page 21/72)

Ski.... How come you took off the cowl scoop for that last show? Maybe I got the timeline confused, OR was it cause of the long trip perhaps?? At first I wasn't sure, it just looked like it against the flag in the background. But later you posted a pic with the hood open and it was missing... Just curious.

I just wanted to say you have done an EXCELENT job on your car, and in a very short time compare to others. I would love to see your car in person one day, I wish you were coming to the Daytona show, I will be there tomorrow.
I am rebuilding a Countach replica and I hope my car comes out at least 1/2 as nice as yours.
Keep up the good work

That was explained in my last section.

Thanks for the write up, Ski! This thread, and Archie's V8 buildup threads are some of the most enjoyable ones I've read. I love seeing how the cars come together, and especially hearing the owner's ideas behind the car. Incredible work!

I still want to do a decklid vent for my Formula (no window, just the vent), but I'll be sure to give you credit for the idea.

Oh, and how about some info on the CD changer? I just put in a Monsoon UP3 from Kru and if I can add a CD changer to it, that would rock. How do you activate the changer? I see AM/FM and Tape Play buttons, but nothing to start playing the from the changer.

Ohh... Sorry Ski. I must have missed that quick line about prior to Fierorama. Sorry to hear, but I'm sure it'll come out better than new.

Thanks for the compliment. If your radio has a nine pin plug in the center of the back then you are CD ready. The radio does not display the CD stuff until the CD is plugged in. It is a sweet setup and only the 9 pin harness is needed to connect and power the CD changer so install is a cinch.

Ski first off love the car nothing short of a spectacular show/road car

But i got a question on the CD changer. So the delco unit will work with ANY brand changer as long as its a 9 pin plug???
reason im asking is i have an old alpine headunit and changer (read very ugly) and if i could get the delco headunit in place of the alpine and not have to touch the changer id be a pretty happy guy.
So basically do you know if that would work for me?

Thanks! Yeah, I noticed in your pic it displaying the CD changer info. The one unanswered question I have is what button do you push to switch between radio/CD/and tape? I can see you hit "Tape Play" to start playing a tape, and you can hit "AM/FM" to switch back to radio if a tape is playing (without having to eject it). But if you're playing the radio, how do you switch to the CD changer?

I love how the lighting on the unit switches depending on if you're listening to CD or Radio. That's just too cool.

And thanks again for the info. Hope my question doesn't seem too obvious. I'm a bit confused. (It would probably all be pitifully obvious, if I had the changer plugged in)

After the CD is connected the following buttons do the functions listed below in CD mode.

TAPE PLAY - Starts CD if no tape is inserted
RECALL - Shows CD track and time in song
SEEK - Moves up and down in songs on CD
1 PREV - Moves down in songs on CD
2 Next - Moves up in songs on CD
3 PROG - Next CD is cartridge
4 RANDOM - Randomly plays songs from all CDs
5 REV - Moves back in currently playing CD song
6 FWD - Moves forward in currently playing CD song

Like I mentioned below this is im my opinion one of the best sounding radios and keeps it stock looking too. These are the same radios available in the current expensive GM cars like the Grand Prix and Bonnevilles. If you have the same radio only the CD model there is a plug in the back to add a cassette player too.
