Wow. Those are all very nicely done cars. Love the way the tires fill the wheel wells in the ’66. That one would be my pick. Thanks for sharing them. Can’t wait to see the TD.

quite familiar! 2 if so, I assume this thing will work with old bugs too?
A: That is more likely the smell from your overheated wet…[Read more]

HAR!! “Unlike the cheap, far-eastern replacement DIYsmoke offered by the ‘usual
suppliers’, this kit includes a filter to ensure that all the smoke is of
consistent size, It has been our experience in our shop that the reproduction Taiwanese
smoke is often ‘lumpy’, which will cause excessive
resistance in our finely-engineered British harnesses…[Read more]
