We have (2) 8-track threads. So we do. The one in the props thread has morphed into players for sale, so I added that to the title. Fits in there with 'scmods for sale' and 'roof speaker for sale' Only Dodge Monaco police? Or all Dodge and Plymouth C body and B body squads? We have categories 'Bluesmobile Stuff' and 'Dodge Monaco Stuff' so maybe a 'Police Car Stuff' category?

I like the labeling of the 8-track player "for sale" thread and the "on screen details" thread. They each serve a different important purpose, and it makes clear what goes where. Only Dodge Monaco police? Or all Dodge and Plymouth C body and B body squads? We have categories 'Bluesmobile Stuff' and 'Dodge Monaco Stuff' so maybe a 'Police Car Stuff' category? Hmm, that's a good point. I was thinking just Monaco, but now that you mention it, it does sound like a good idea to have a "Police Car Stuff" for cop car stuff that didn't fit anywhere else (monaco police details, or cop cars for sale). I vote for your idea, however it seems best to you to set it up. your friend in organizing, arthur

1) How about changing "bluesmobile props" to "movie props"? The theme of the board is the blumo, and cop cars, but I like seeing all the extra tidbits like Elwood's record player. How about make the prop subforum for anything that didn't come on the blumo, like the fan belts, watch, glasses, and record player. We could even put the 8-track in there, although to me that seems an integral part of the blumo. 2) I propose we consider going to Wikipedia and correcting some of the info there: example: > The film used 13 different cars bought at auction from the California > Highway Patrol to depict the Bluesmobile, a retired 1974 Mount > Prospect, Illinois Dodge Monaco patrol car. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blues_Brothers_%28film%29There's no source for that on wikipedia. We could tune it to something we believe in, and then provide a link to the relevant page here. And add our site to "external links" portion of wikipedia. your friend in putting the word on the street, arthur

How about changing "bluesmobile props" to "movie props"? We could use some tweaking there. Right now "Blues Brothers Stuff" is a board in the "General" category. I think Blues Brothers Stuff should be its own category and it can be populated with boards specific to movie props, stuff for sale etc. If that soundls like a plan then our categories would be ... General Bluesmobile Stuff Dodge Monaco Stuff Blues Brothers Stuff Cars For Sale Or should the new category be right under General ... General Blues Brothers Stuff Bluesmobile Stuff Dodge Monaco Stuff Cars For Sale Or ... ;D I kinda like it under Dodge Monaco Stuff and above Cars For Sale. Sound presentable?

Hi Steam:
I got your idea and made some tweaks as a proposal.
Current:
General [ ] Introductions [ ] Board How-To's [ ] General Board [ ] Blues Brothers Stuff [ ] Diecast Stuff
Bluesmobile Stuff [ ] Bluesmobile Meetings 2012 [ ] Bluesmobile Meetings 2011 [ ] Bluesmobile Owners [ ] Bluesmobile Info [ ] Bluesmobile How-To's [ ] Bluesmobile Parts - On Screen Details [ ] Bluesmobile Parts [ ] Bluesmobile Props [ ] Bluesmobile Sightings
Dodge Monaco Stuff [ ] Details on 1974-1977 C-Body Monaco [ ] Details on 1974-1977 C-Body Monaco - Police [ ] Performance and Engineering Modifications [ ] Monaco Maintenance [ ] Brochures and Manuals
Cars For Sale [ ] Bluesmobiles For Sale (1 sub-board) [ ] Crown Victoria's For Sale [ ] C-Body Cars For Sale [ ] Cop Cars For Sale [ ] Movie Cars/Clones For Sale
-----
New:
General [ ] Introductions [ ] Board How-To's [ ] General Board [ ] Diecast Stuff
Bluesmobile Stuff [ ] Bluesmobile Meetings 2012 [ ] Bluesmobile Meetings 2011 [ ] Bluesmobile Owners [ ] Bluesmobile Info [ ] Bluesmobile How-To's [ ] Bluesmobile Parts - On Screen Details [ ] Bluesmobile Parts - For sale [ ] Bluesmobile Sightings
Dodge Monaco Stuff [ ] Details on 1974-1977 C-Body Monaco [ ] Details on 1974-1977 C-Body Monaco - Police [ ] Performance and Engineering Modifications [ ] Monaco Maintenance [ ] Brochures and Manuals
Blues Brothers Stuff [ ] Movie props - on screen details [ ] Movie props - for sale [ ] Other BB info [ ] Other BB stuff for sale
Cars For Sale [ ] Bluesmobiles For Sale (1 sub-board) [ ] Crown Victoria's For Sale [ ] C-Body Cars For Sale [ ] Cop Cars For Sale [ ] Movie Cars/Clones For Sale
--------
The tuning was basically for four subforums: - details on blumo parts - for sale on blumo parts - details on props - for sale on props
Currently, we have 8-tracks for sale in the same subforum as details on elwoods license, and that seems a little confusing.
We need to put a dividing line somewhere. I propose the "blumo parts" is anything that's a solid part of the car (including the 8-track), and everything else goes in movie props.
your friend in jawboning about ideas, arthur

How about a subforum "claimed original movie blumos"? From time to time, I hear about interesting blues brothers / blumo / monaco rumors from people, and every once in a while something exciting pans out.
But the rumors that seem least likely to pan out are those involving an original Monaco blumo. And I keep having to piece together the rumor tidbits and place them against my memory of what we've already figured out.
We could have a thread on each "original blumo"
- Robert Reigle's collection for his business MilitaryVehicleWeb.com. - The youtube "Doge Bluesmobile" - Clarksdale Blumo / Hopson's Plantation - Jim Post blumo - Rear door of blumo that drove through the mall, on display at HOB - 1980 Stark Record & Tape
- Jim Post discussion of Dan Aykroyd having one / Huey discussion of Dan Aykroyd not having one
And when a new rumor popped up, we could simply compare against those, or create a new thread.
Rather than create a forum just for this category, would it be better to rename "blumo & chase cars : movie notes" to "blumo & chase cars : notes on original cars". And then we could make this a sub-form called "claimed original movie blumos" in that forum.
your friend in collating info, arthur

Hi Steam: I like your changes. How about forums / subforums for these categories that I mentioned:
- blumo & chase cars : movie notes - claimed original movie blumos - Police Paint schemes and individual department setup
We could put the posts in forums that already exist, (like putting the first two categories of posts all under "movie notes"), but I think we'll have a good number of threads for each of those categories. So I think it will be easier to keep track of if we create subforums for them.
Maybe you already created them, and I didn't see them.
thanks, arthur

Use it wisely, my friend. It took a long time to build and I lost another finger in the process. --- I gave the COB cars a board of their own titled "Bluesmobile Rumors." I suppose there's also some other threads we could put in that board?

or give me the ability to delete them? I found something I hadn't seen before. A third title of "Global Moderator." I have no idea if it gives you and TK extra abilities so please let me know if it makes a difference. I have a feeling it's just a title and nothing will change but what the hell ya never know.
