After my London Roadster road worth and I could drive it again, I wanted insurance coverage with Hagerty at agreed value. I looked at current prices for running kit cars in good condition.

Another Duryea Hillclimb is in the books. The weather forecast called for rain both Saturday and Sunday. I contemplated not running but decided I’d just go and have fun playing in the wet. My first run was a 182.5 seconds. The rain stopped but the road was still wet and I dropped to 156.3 after my third run. A lot of folks packed up and left…[Read more]

Pretty much. The fuse panel should have both “Hot all the time” as well as “Hot with key on only”. If you have wiring with melted insulation, replace the wires. Good luck.

<p style=”text-align: justify;”>Paul has told me that some circuits are always on/hot, like the headlights. So I know I need to turn my key to the on position, but not start the car, and retest those 8 other circuits to see if they light up with the light meter. He also said that the light indicates that the circuits are working. A non lit circuit…[Read more]

Great find, Lino. IMHO, a small V6 is just about ideal for these little cars. I look forward to seeing more of this one.

I need help. I’m trying to diagnose a short. My turn signals/gas gage/wipers shorted out. All are on the same circuit. I’m testing with a light meter. I get a light on the 4 fuse connectors to the right(#1-4). I do not get any light reading on the other 8 connectors (#5-12).
I found 2 wires that had shorted out and melted the casings. I wrapped…[Read more]

The wife found her perfect lil hotrod. Up until the FB Marketplace ad popped up showing a BCW Model 52 a few days ago, we had never heard of such a cool piece of kit! From what we’ve learned so far, it’s based on a Chevette chassis, Fiero v6 and S-10 automatic trans. While the bones appear good, she needs a good bit of TLC to her up to par for…[Read more]
