Bob Bidonde Powerpoint slides
 

Mr. Bob Bidonde,
Your Powerpoint slides about the care and feeding of our Model A's are superb. I've owned Model A's for only about 7 years and for me, I find your information a mine of wealth that would be hard if not impossible to duplicate. I'm in the visual learner camp so your exellent illustrations and comments help so much in bringing clarity and understanding of the various components and systems of our cars. Do you have a collection of these available in print form? If not, you should! We all benefit from the years of experience you've had with Model A's and that legacy needs to be preserved. You are a tremendous credit to our hobby. KEEP 'EM COMING! :D

I agree.

I cant imagine the amount of work that goes into providing quality slides like that.

Bob, keep up the great work.

I have made up tons of slides for work. After you get experienced you can really crank them out. However, Bob's graphics are really what make his slides super nice.

Thank you all for your compliments. I am the Technical Vice President of the Model "A" Ford Club of Long Island, and I give a slide presentation at each club meeting. I have been doing this for several years, so my collection of slides is very large. I will continue to post my slides on the Ford Barn in posts I feel the slides may benefit solving a problem. Perhaps you can do a search for posts on The barn with my name and collect the slides I have posted over the years. Here are some to start your collection.

To add to the above. Bob has also done many illustrations that are contained in the Restoration Guidelines and Judging Standards. The Greater Baltimore club was fortunate to have Bob as a member while he was working in Maryland.

Bob Bidonde, your power points are a great way to understand on a step by step basis, the workings of the Model A with just a click. Obviously this has been a passion of yours for years to have built up such an extensive source of information!
A shoutout to mcgarrett for initiating this tribute to Bob, and making us aware of this wealth of knowledge.
Bob Bidonde, thankyou for sharing all your hard work with us! You're a true gentlemen.

You are a master of copy, cut, paste, and annotation. Maybe you should compile a collage of your work and publish it.

Bob,
An amazing collection of class A slides. (Pun?) Not every engineer can do what you've done...my hat's off to you. I'm sure these slides will make great additions to chapter meetings all across the world!

Re: Bob Bidonde Powerpoint slides
 

I appreciate all of your kind words regarding my slides. I want my slides to remain free to all Model A'ers. They are posted on the Model A Ford Club of Long Island's website. By the way, if you find a mistake on any of my slides, please let me know so I can fix it.
