I see it all the time. Those big, tall skinny shifters help hide the fact, but it does offend my delicate sensibilities to see a ’50s or ’60s style rod sporting an auto trans. Wouldn’t necessarily mind trading places with them, though, when crawling through downtown traffic or, like yesterday, when situated on the ramp leaving Lowes and unable to…[Read more]

I also have a clear plastic filter and it always had air in it. I also gets a white substance that settles at the bottom of the filter. The last time I change the filter, I cut open the old one and found that the white substance was soft and putty like but not sticky. I don’t know if this is a coating from inside the gas tank starting to break…[Read more]

Awesome!  This is great and means I will likely have it done today if I can round u my 3 adult sons and their friends. And yes, beer will be a strong motivator.The main reason I removed the fenders was because I’m going to change the color of the two tone paint job and needed to replace the fender welt to match the new color.I probably could have…[Read more]

The guys don’t even have to be big! 🙂

 
This gives whole new meaning to the term “frameoff restoration”.
Most cars need a hydraulic lift to remove the body. A TD Replica needs 2x4s and 6 big guys, plus a case of beer and a couple of pizzas.
 

Mine too.  I worried about it when I first got the car, but it never caused a problem.

Got ’em!

You can remove the body in one piece. In fact, you could have left the fenders and running boards on too.But please, please be careful. The center section will be very flexible, with very little fiberglass under the door openings.I suggest pulling all the bolts, then sliding three two by fours under the body, one under the door openings, one at…[Read more]

Wow, I’ve heard of thread drift.But I do believe this is the first time I’ve seen a topic drift from windshield wipers, to Mounds/Almond Joy to M&Ms.So I guess the natural question at this point is….Plain or Peanut M&M?

I have a clear plastic one, and there is always air in it.

I’m a M&M kinda guy

This is making me hungry.

GEE          I LOVE ALMOND JOYS  Dan

Thanks. I’m not sure.  I wasn’t that careful in copying and pasting, so I could have something wrong.  I don’t like the side curtains on this one either.

 Dan, You are right about the nuts. Some have nuts,some don’t. Since Bill said his clamped on ,I assumed that he had the type with no nuts.This is beginning to sound like a Mounds/Almond Joy candy commercial. ”Sometimes You Feel Like A Nut, Sometimes You Don’t.

 In Washington Will’s photo gallery ,his Daytona MiGi appears to have been removed from the pan with the fenders still attached. Unless the Duchess is designed differently you could probably remove yours at the point you are at now. Just be sure you have every thing disconnected ,be careful not to break any attachment points.

 Larry ,your wright but you forgot if it has a nut holding the arm  on at the center , that is what i have .. Dan

Hmmm. I’ll be watching to learn on this one. I wonder if the remaining ‘glass parts are light enough to be practically removed by you and a buddy.
