Thanks, all, for the votes.

Yeah, Jack, I very much would like to show this car at Air & Auto 10 in October. I think some of the members of the First Settlers PCA would get a kick out of it. The stars may yet align.

Just saw there was voting requested. DONE. Glad I was able to add a vote before the deadline.

Jack, VA beach sounds wonderful about now.

Already voted a few days ago Ed. Good luck!

Hey Ed —

WOW!!!!!!!

Maybe Va Beach this year????

BTW, I just cast my vote for the best ever really blue DIY car on the Pelican site…..

Looking forward to sitting in the driver’s seat  —  just to see what a Mega DIY project feels like from the seat of the pants.

Cheers,

Happy Jack

Thanks, Dale. Please go vote for me on the Pelican site (like three posts above).

All y’all vote.

Looking great! Want to drive up with Rick to see it if you will have us.

No stinking way you are selling it… come on man!

I want to see this!

TB model

Is hard to distinguish from a TC

There are two good VDO rebuild places in CA, Palo Alto Speedometer and North Hollywood Speedometer. They specialize in Porsche gauges.

He’d end up with the best…[Read more]

Spyder reassembly progress.

The floorpan is back in.

Glass windshield is on*; wipers wipe.

54 items remain on the punch list. Some of those are such chores as “<b>VISIT MSP WITH DOCS FOR SIGN-OFF”</b>

and<b> “Get VIN/Title</b>”

There are just two dozen discrete tasks ahead of those steps. I plan to knock about a half dozen off the list…[Read more]

Thank you. I’ll keep an eye on them. 28 sounds good. Now, yo get her running again.

Yes, I do.

Welcome aboard. I flew up to Seattle to pick up my first MGTD replica, a London Roadster on Port Townsend, Washington. I drove most of the 1,151 miles back to my house, with an new adventure every day. I got to within 50 miles from home when she needed a tow to get home in Phoenix, Arizona. It’s a trip that I won’t soon forget.

Thanks. The front end seems to be heaviest. Do you keep 28 all around?

My V8 Ford TDr runs 28 on the street. With the coil overs set to their softest setting this becomes quite a comfortable ride. The coil overs run 500# springs.

Hey, friends, a favor?

If you feel like it, check out the Pelican Parts Virtual Car show and then vote for my entry (i.e. the pile-o-junque depicted above) as Best DIY Project.  

You know I’d do the same for y’all.

PS: final touches are almost done. Still awaiting state authorities reopening for title/tag/taxes and destination charges to be a…[Read more]
