Thanks for thinking of me, but I wasn’t overly pleased with the cut out in my hot rod fenders that I have now. The only cars I’ve had with no engine hood were model cars I glued together (with an open window, thanks, Mom). I’m getting used to the look now, but secretly wish it was a real sleeper.

You might want to wait on the finnal sanding, Interlux say’s it doesn’t need to be sanded,

Yes that’s where I did my lime runs in Texas. I wonder if it was aTexas thing? Shore was a fun run tho.

Bill Yes he is using it as a overflow for the radiator.

Is that an old Army canteen hanging off the front end?

Enjoyed plenty of lime runs in college in the ’60s (yes, I’m that old!) with our campus Sports Car Club. I was usually the navigator, since I didn’t get my first set of wheels — a ’62 Sprite Mk II — until my junior year. In addition to watching for the lime marks, navigators on those nighttime runs on dark county roads in Southeast Texas also ha…[Read more]

I used a match book cover to set my points on my 57 ford also.

Has any one ever heard of a lime run? I ran one in the 50tys.Took MiGi out for some go juice yesterday got lot of thumbs up.

No, but I remember that in the 1950’s many of us carried a feeler gauge around in our pocket.  The cover of a standard match book was perfect for setting the points on a MGTD 1500.  

Looking forward to your 3000th! 

I have used them on 3 other cars, one with a CD ignition box,  all have worked great.  One is 12 years old and hasn’t missed a beat.    

BTW, does anyone who used to drive an old points type ford remember having to find old beer pull tabs on the side of the road to set their spare points when the old ones burned out every 3 months?

This guy claims in the ad that he didn’t know what he had when he started the project. He apologizes to all purists & etc.Looks like he did a clean job with it.

If this is winter, I’ll take it !!!

I’ve been on two different poker runs The first one met in a park. Everyone drew one card out of a basket. Drove to next stops with sight seeing historical or cultural significance drawing cards at each way station. 5th card at the casino and end of run in time for lunch. Prize for highest hand was a basket of car goodies. Lowest hand of all got…[Read more]

Sounds like a blast. I wanna do a “poker run.” Actually I don’t know exactly what a poker run is….I got pulled over today by a guy in an SUV wanting to know all about Bridget. Said he had an MGA back in the day, and a Triumph, some others and now a Miata. Driving past the schools was like being in a parade. It’s about 70 here and windy–real…[Read more]

I had my Fiberfab Chevy Hot Rod out last Satuday. Rushed getting out the door and forgot my sunscreen. It was col and sunny in the a.m. And warmed up to the high 70’s by mid day. It was a mystery clue poker run with the Arizona Kit Car Club.   I was the only kit car owner to bring out my car. We ended up at the Scottsdale International Auto mu…[Read more]
