Default Rumble seat's tips anyone know where the webpage was relocated to?

Rumble Seat's Tips used to be hosted on Bill Bennett's webpage.

http://www.btc-bci.com/~billben/flathead.htm

The link to Paul's tips near the bottom goes to a broken page. (404 error page not found) just get the purple page with ads for unrelated things.

Does anyone know where the webpage was relocated to?

Thanks

I met Paul in 1970 after I got back from Vietnam.

He was a great friend and helped a lot when I was too poor to get things fixed ... with his SEWAGs.

I talked to Jan two weeks ago ... she and Pauline are doing fine.

I haven't found a current link, but downloaded a lot of his files when the site started to go away.

I don't understand how to use the internet archives but here is a link to them.
They are supposed to have the entire techno site.

From this fb post. https://fordbarn.com/forum/showthrea...ghlight=techno


Do you have the full web address saved? Have you looked for it here? - http://archive.org/web/

Maybe someone more savy than me could find them again.

I guess it was a matter of time before that site was going to go down. Hopefully all that information can get saved somewhere. I was hoping it would go to the HAMB or here but there is no longer a place to put archived tech info on the HAMB and that feature wasn't ever set up over here like it was on the old HAMB. I imagine it took up a fair amount of server space.

Most of Rumbleseat's stuff was text, not very many pictures - all text and just a few pics takes up surprisingly little space. I may have copied/loaded onto my old PC. I need to go check that out ....

I posted on the old flathead site every now and then, I was a member from when it was run by I think classic car. anyway, last year when things were not going well over there I inquired as to what it would take to download everything from the techno site and other information that was valuable onto a cd/dvd. I never got an answer, other than the site would always be there. I do not have the computer know how or I would do it. I suggested that the members could all pitch in for the initial work and then copies could be sold for a donation to keep the site up. I got no real reply. I think Carl/Roseville posts here sometimes maybe he will see this and have some answers. he races a front eng. dragster in Sacramento. anyone else think that putting all the info on a cd/dvd is a good idea before it all disappears and are there any good computer guys that woud undertake such a job>

I just spent the last two hours reading those articles. Those are well written and kept me interested. I wish I knew how to save them onto a disk or something myself. I will have to ask my daughter. Thanks for sharing

If you have a Windows PC you should be able to right click and save the documents to your hard drive.

Thank you, I have a Mac and it worked the same way you suggested.
Much appreciated for taking the time.

Unless there are copyright issues or some such, how about making them a part of this site? They are mostly text articles, so additional disk storage should me minuscule.

Well, they already are, they are posted in #6. That should be a permanent post.

These are pretty small files, take up very little room; just download and save in folder on your computer, for future reference and entertainment.

That's fine for you and me, but what about a new guy that comes here looking for information?. They are the guys that probably most need this information the most. There should be a clear indication that this information is available and where it is.

That would apply to hundred or thousands of items/data posted on the Barn. Without an archive not sure how you would do that. As I am sure you are well aware of, something like 90% of the topics brought up on the Barn are topics that have come up many times in the past!!

Maybe the OP could edit the title to indicate that PDF files of Rumble Seat's tips are located within this thread.

Then it may stand out more clearly in either a Barn and Google search.

I just opened a new thread titled: "RUMBLE SEAT's TIPS" with all of this included. Anyone typing-in RUMBLE SEAT's TIPS into the "search" function in the future should find it as long as FordBarn still exists. Click the link below to see what it looks like. DD
