Still have this for sale if anyone knows of someone looking…I’m going to drop the price to $6000 which should be a pretty good deal for someone. 

just adding my two cents worth, harbor freight http://www.harborfreight.com/400-ft-wire-storehouse-3384.html

Paul, you have a real knack for searches.  I was on JEGs several times and couldn’t find the complete list of wiring.  You hit the jackpot!Thank you!

I searched on ebay electral wire found several auctions with an asortment of colors.. I didn’t scroll down very far to see if they were offered any other way ..

I’ve got a trickle charger and some distilled water. Pry off your lids and see if your plates are all under water. If not, and usually it’s just one, top ’em up. Sometimes that’s all it takes.

I keep my Duchess and my 65 Plymouth on chargers.Both batteries are over 6 years old (at least!!!)

I think you may have gotten a weak, old or bad battery.  I’d take it back while it’s still under the best warranty.  Most batteries have a pro rated warranty so the longer you wait the more you’ll have to pay.  I think within the first year they are almost 100%

Thanks Bill but I really don’t have the money for a prebuilt harness.  That’s why I’m looking for spools of wire.

Did my dash with a ready made harness.

46* sunny and warm enough for me.  Took her out for a short ride, only ’bout 1/2 hour but loved it.  First outing for 2012 too.  Hot a few  looks but who cares.  She purred like a kitten!

Took Scarlett out today. 1st ride in 2012. It is in the low 60s here in the Ozarks with lots of sunshine. She sure was glad to get  that winter dust blown off. I sure hope all the other members here get a chance for a ride even if it is a short one.

I’m worried it’ll be rainy & cold all summer. It’s gonne either be
that or drought and 110 degrees every day. Guess we’ll find out.Meantime, contemplating taking her again tomorrow. Forecast here is 64 and sunny.

I believe this might be it nothing comming in the next 15 days .That will put us the middle of march. Around here we say March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb so after the next 15 days that will put us in the lamb stage

Wow. $1500! Glad you could get it done. But, man, if the hood on these things is worth $1500 then the whole kit ought to be about $10,000.(Which it was, of course, 30 years ago) (Not adjusted for inflation).Amazing then that more or less complete old kits are floating around on the Bay & Craigslist for a few hunnert. Total business opportunity!…[Read more]

‘Bout time you got some snow up there though, eh?

Today we had 8 inches of snow 40 mph winds a good day for south of buffalo wednesday calling for 51 degrees.  

Cookdog here Found someone to make a hood for my Classic Roadsters MGTD here in north Phoenix. $1500.00Got it back and on the car. The car is now running after 9 years but am having problems in Arizona getting a title for it. The transportation company would not claim any liable for the lost hood. They said go head and sue us the lawsuit would…[Read more]

Turns out that 135# is an expected compression reading.  Found a major vacuum leak where 1/4 of the carb to intake manifold gasket was missing.  I hope to gain more control of engine idle speed (it wanted to idle high) and smoothness when I get it running.  So far, it has taken me much longer to clean, straighten, align and install all the tin w…[Read more]
