The car is no longer listed, so I guess somebody bought it.

Kudos Mike.Something oddly appropriate about that milestone!

Here in the south a Pecan is a nut you can use to bake a tasty pie , but a Peecan is bucket kept under the bed to keep us from having to go outside at night to use the toilet.
Hey my 100th post was a potty joke!

Gee just  get wet it takes longer to set up the top than change the oil ………….Dan  PS I have more trouble with the zipper on the side curtains Dan R40925.6682175926

Your right paul, but its been so much fun

OK Paul, you volunteered.  This is your assignment. The Forum will dissavow any knowledge of you or your teams activities.  This message willl self destruct in 5 seconds…..

Wasn’t this thread about having tops and interiors sewn by Amish folk?
Man-o-man are we easily distracted!

Venturing into new ground…
I once had to explain “…pot to piss in…” to my daughter.
And I had first hand experience. My early summers were spent in Peru Massachusetts, in a little house my great-grandfather built in the early 1900s. My grandparents took it over as a summer place.
Until the mid 1960s we did not have running water. We had a…[Read more]

Fifty years ago, I was stationed on an old and tired WWII diesel submarine, we facetiously called “duck tape” “1000 Pound tape” (for PSI) or “EB green”.  It, back then, was called Duck rather than Duct.  And the most common color was green.  “EB” was for Electric Boat, in Groton Ct, where many of our submarines were built.   If my tool bag does no…[Read more]

My new top was made by the local guy who does the canvas work in my boatyard and it’s perfect in fit and finish. He used the old torn one for some measurements and pattern and had the car for a few days fitting it and placing the new snaps on, etc. I selected an extra thick brown vinyl material with black cloth backing – convertible top material -…[Read more]

 
I took mine off the Dutch?s plus the door hinges and misc. to the localHigh school and had them powder coated (black). The total cost 40.00 Plus they got the experience. I got an estimate from a body shop it would Have cost me 150.00

when i posted this i never thought it would turn into so much fun.You people down south of mehave a great sence of humor.You might be a red neck when you redo the interior of your car with colored duct tape or you might be a redneck if you replace your throttle cable with bailing twine or you go to a family reunion to find a girl friend. 

I’d love to go through Moss Motor’s site and see what it would cost to build a TD from all their reproduction parts.The ultimate MG TD Kit Car!

Many years back, I was being driven across Mexico by a cab driver in a VW Micro-bus.Back country roads, through little villages, from Guadalajara to Manzanillo. It’s a long story!Half way, suddenly the engine dropped to idle. I knew immediately we had broken the throttle cable. Luckily it broke near the carb end of the cable. The cabbie ran down…[Read more]

Thanks for the link Paul. I would love to have some, but at $240.00 per side I think I will just keep what I have. They arent as pretty, but at least they hold my head light buckets up. I might keep an eye on ebay for some that need refurbishing.

Dang! $1600+ for each front fender! All those prices are daunting.The brackets look like they would be hard to make though, and then you’d probably have to spank the hell out of your $1600 fenders to make them fit. Moss says as much:”Because these are produced in small quantities, they are quite expensive to make, and our prices reflect our…[Read more]

The Myth Busters made a whole sailboat out of duct tape. Totally worked.

The work I have seen by the Amish has been outstanding . They really care about the details and a job done right. Not many Amish around Memphis. We do have some rednecks that could make a dandy top from duct tape.

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyy I resemble that remark! My duct taping is just so so, but I am a pro with bailing wire.

Did you ever see the book 100 ways to use duct tape now we have 101

James, thanks for the laugh. …You’re a funny guy.
