My best friend lives in Andover, NJ, and apart from a spot of what he called “seepage” in the basement, he and his wife got through it OK. Haven’t heard anything yet from Aaron White in Lake Lure, NC. Fingers crossed.

Roadie,The only other advice I’d give is if you think it’s really unsafe to drive, there’s alway a UHaul Trailer rental for your prized possession.

 Hi and welcome to the forum!! Sounds like you’ve found a real prize. The BCW is a quality repilca and being one of the Schweppes cars  is something special. The advice on bleeding the brakes is something I would do for sure.You don’t want to lose this one on the way home.
 Have a safe trip and be sure to post pictures when you can.

Welcome Ed.Those Schweppes cars are nice. All professionally built. You found a good one!Hope the first drive, and all the future drives, are safe ones!

Gee, thanks Allen! Let’s enjoy a couple nice days first, ok?

Be careful, Roadie. And good luck.

Enkoy the ride and the whole adventure. I’m still building mine. Hope to have her on the road in time for Carlisle, PA next year.

She’ll be coming to Fort Payne, AL in the north east mountains of Alabama
from Cumming, GA. I think she also needs that drive shaft carrier that
centers the shaft replaced, looked pretty worn out to me when I was crawling
around. Not to many miles on the odometer, seems like under 18K or so if I
remember, but light use implies a lot of dry…[Read more]

Welcome Roadie.If your brakes seem/are spongy, I’d do a brake bleed to be on the safe side. Where in GA did you get her and where in AL will you be taking her? Also when you get her home don’t forget to visit the TD Registry and give us the particulars. I think you’re the 1st from Alabama.  newkitman40784.8355902778

Whew! Glad Wobby made it. Sounds as if all our TD members weathered the storm. Glad of that. Just keep an eye on the TS off the coast of Africa. It’s a big one and should arrive at the east coast sometime in 10 days. Living in Georgia I tend to keep an eye out for hurricanes and monitor the National Hurricane Center just in case.

I talked to Wobby.He’s ok. House is ok. Ally (his TD) was on jack stands and is ok. His office and garage had two feet of water…leaving behind “mud everywhere”.

Sounds right to me.

 Well that may seem like alot but if it comes out the way you want it to  be and can’t do it your self , than it is a good price  Dan

 Ed, I thru the patterns away after the shop finished the curtains. I just held cardboard up to the car and traced out the size , Every BCW i’ve seen has a slightly differrent top so you should need to make your own.

Larry. I think I’m gonna want your side curtain patterns, particularly if they’re going on your BCW.

Sounds like it’s in the ball park, said the man who had two new convertible tops put on his Pontiac in the early-mid 2000s. Those were about $800 each.

 Tom, Sounds reasonable to me. I paid $200. just for side curtains. I made patterns out of cardboard with the windows cut out. I fitted the snaps that attach to the body and the velcro that attaches to the top myself. All the shop had to do was cut the material to match my pattern and sew a hem arround the outer edge and the window.
 The guy did a…[Read more]

I can sure sympathize with you guys all along the east coast. We live with the constant threat of Hurricains here in Southern Louisiana. Hope everyone stays safe.
 

Wobby lives in Northfield. That’s a little bit south and west of Montpelier, up in the Green Mountains. It’s in a valley in those mountains so I hope he and his family are okay. They may be out of power there for a bit.
I liked it up there. had a cousin who attended the college there and would run up there to visit every now and again. They have a…[Read more]

Anyone hear from Wobby? He had some bad flooding earlier this year, I believe.
