Not a Duchess, but a MiGi.  Mine is 5 1/4″ to the wheel spokes. 

The front end on my FiberFab is a Chevette and I was told that the shop could not do an alignment.  I haven’t taken it anywhere else yet, but that was disappointing news.

Welcome. I’m also in central AZ, living in Phoenix, so we aren’t too far apart.  My VW engine is coming together nicely, but still not mounted into the vehicle yet. I’m down your way often, or almost that far south, so if you’re open to visitors, I can stop by to see your treasure toy.

BeBop,  welcome to the gang.  Please post some pictures, detailed shots if possible so we can see the differences between our cars.   First I’ve heard of Rich industries

Frankie,   I’m sure I speak for most of us when I say many thanks for your hard work

Frank -thanks for working on the Gallery ..having CRS   its nice to peruse the gallery of everyone’s Photo’s

I’ve got 29th on my calandar , Guess that means I can’t go burn up that excess gas I just put in the TD. Unless I call in sick?

Frank It looks good so far . thanks

So, I have the engine all back together except for the mascara, rouge, and eyelashes.  Today I ran it with the starter motor for about 10 minutes with the plugs out to prime the oil system and give it a very gentle first few turns.  I also took compression readings: they were all in the 130-135# range.  That seems a little high, no?  Should I wor…[Read more]

I have 29 days in Feb on my calendar.  March 1st begins on the first day of March, next Thursday.

Rob,  now I know why I couldn’t figure out your original post.  You have a defective calendar.  Good day to burn up some of that excess gas in your TD. 

On my calender there is no 29 in Feb, March 1 is correct and is on Thursday so I guess I’m not going to do anything on Wednesday since it doesn’t exist 🙂

The 29th is there and March 1th is on Thursday!  newkitman2012-02-22 15:03:20
