Oooh, I just checked this out, because I also need a fuse panel for my 
63 Overlander project.
But then I read the reviews on the product. ( Available on the product 
page) Sounds like it is not recommended by anyone that has purchased it.
One could purchase 6 fuse holders of the type that mount in a panel 
from and electronics supply store, and then drill and bend a piece of 
aluminum to mount the fuse holders instead of buying this, perhaps.

Uwe -
I found a basic fuse block at Ace that I've been happy with. So happy, in
fact, that a bought a second. No frills, just a basic block with no moving
parts. If interested, I can send photos of my installation, in case you
didn't see it in Co. Springs last summer.

Subject: [VAL] TV Antennas and the future of TV

My current HDTV/DTV setup includes 3 ATSC tuners, from an early Dish 6000
OTA model, to a current MyHD HTPC model-the hottest and latest technology.
Problem for me is most of Denver's DTV transmissions are off the Republic
Building in downtown Denver, which is over the hill from me. The direct line
of sight DTV transmissions off Lookout Mountain can be received with a coat
hanger. To receive the over the hill DTV's I must tune a bounce so requires
the 8 bay UHF antenna with signal booster. This setup was recommended to me
by my brother who receives SF DTV stations from 150 miles away. Once Denver
build's it's DTV tower on Lookout, my reception problems will be solved.
I just helped a friend in Aurora, CO set up his ATSC antenna with direct
line of sight to all Denver area DTV towers. He was not able to receive low
powered (ABC) stations.  So a problem today is many DTV stations transmit
using low power requiring a good DTV antenna and probably signal booster.

Does the 53 Clipper in New Waverly, TX, qualify for Airstream Club?

No, that Clipper is a Silver Streak.  It is not an Airstream.
