Got mine today.  Nice.  Good job Ed.  Thanks.

Ed, certainly no big hurry.  It can wait til the next big blizzard.

Mark, here is the link:https://bighugelabs.com/order-status.php?oid=249295756-82e8&button=statusSorry to hear about your unemployment. It gets better.Roy: I’ll have a look at my file and send you what’s there. I think I have most, but not all–many shots were ripped from the TDReplica archives and used completely without permission. Gimme a minute.

I must be missing something, somewhere.  Is there a link to order the 2013 calendar?  Do I need to know an item number?Thanks,

hey Mark

Ed, the inside of my “Overhead Door Company” garage door is ugly.  I’m going to take apart last years calendar and “wallpaper” it with TD’s.  I would like to put the name of the owner and the car’s name on it also.   Could you provide the names?   (Also if its Manufacturer if known – I guess I could get that from the member registry)

I just ordered three calendsr ..Thxz again Ed ..We all appeciate your hard work !

“VW breast enlargement”

I ordered one too. That coupon code didn’t work, didn’t do anything when entered.

Mine came today. Once again an excellent calendar. Great job Ed. Thanks.

Hi Roy,I think dual carbs are going to be a tight fit inside a 31″ engine cover.My Duchess has 36″ inside her engine cover.I’m running two Solex PICT34s, which are single barrel carbs, with round 5 7/8″ round Kadron air filters.The width to the outer most edges of the carbs themselves is almost 33 inches.The air cleaners are slightly offset. But…[Read more]

Mine just came. looks good. Even the pics I thought might look grainy look good. Hope everyone agrees.

Per Muir. Tighten the adjuster star until the wheel won’t turn by hand. Then loosen it one or two pries. The wheel ought to turn freely then.It doesn’t? One of two things is wrong.1. The drum is out of round. Pull it and have it checked for roundness & cut it true if needed–or replace.2. The shoes, they bind. This is what was happening on the…[Read more]

That’s very helpful, from both of you, thanks. I’ll get into and under it again tomorrow.

The two cables for the emergency brakes run directly from the rear shoes through their sheathing to the brake handle itself.  So, they don’e “split” as they are never a single cable.  It could be that the emergency brake cables are slightly too tight and do not allow the drum to rotate freely.  Perhaps, you should loosen the emergency brake ad…[Read more]

You’ll have to pull the rear brake drums to where the e-brake cable connectes to the arm on the brake shoe. But I always go simple (easiest) first. Pull the e-brake lever boot. You’ll see two double nuts (one on each side) that allow you to adjust the e-brake cables. Back off the star adjusters till the wheel just does turns freely. Then loosen…[Read more]

I understand that the rear wheels also spin the axles but when I rotate the wheels there is still the sound of scraping brake shoes against the drums and a good deal of resistance to rotating the wheels compared to the fronts which spin freely and just have a very slight scraping noise from the shoes touching the drums. I’m just wondering pow many…[Read more]

First let me start with the usual disclaimer,  OK, now that’s out of the way.  I am somewhat afraid of the brakes on our vehicles.  They weren’t really the best when they were new and now, well…? There is always the possibility of a major hydraulic line failure and it would, of course, fail when you were hard on the pedal because you wanted to…[Read more]
