Cool video Ed. Paul, you’re right. that video in reverse would be an absolute gust buster laugh. And IMax of that would be cool to.
Ed, what kind of windshields do you have? They’re very cool.

That’s too funny! Man, you used every cc of that 1300! Wish I could run the video in reverse…THAT would be a scream.

Wow, another famous member! Or were you already famous?

Sorry. I went in and pulled a bunch of stuff I’d posted for some folks working with me on a longer vid at work. Inadvertently privatized that one too.Should be viewable now. BTW–mute the sound. Something went haywire with the audio on it.

Montie:
They are standard offset from MG Magic.  I found a beautiful set on ebay with knock-offs for a close  price.  But being retired I kept up with the simplicity theme and went with MG Magic wheels.
I’m real happy with them, MG centers are from Moss.  We ground off the posts and used industrial auto body cement to attach them to the spinners.

I tried to watch the video but got an error message: This video is private, even after I logged in.

Another book that my AAA office was unaware of is RoadTrip USA by Jamie Jensen. I found out about it online, but picked the only copy at a book store in Manhattan right before I headed west. If I didn’t have deadlines to meet at each end of the country, I would gladly have taken one or more of the routes in this book.I’m already starting to plan…[Read more]

You made me laugh, Paul.  I’m sorry we didn’t meet up in person.  The only reason I could afford a 5-week trip is that I’m also unemployed at the moment.  I have a job interview on Monday, so I’m hoping that this will work out, finally.I remember the paper GPS system.  Still use it today, as a matter of fact. When I was in New York (Brooklyn) I s…[Read more]

Look for “Blue Highways: A Journey Into America” by William Least Heat-MoonIt is a WONDERFUL book. Post Divorce, job-less with almost nothing to his name except his van, Moon set off across the country.”Blue Highways” is his story from the road, the places he went and people he met along the way.If you remember the original portable GPS systems,…[Read more]

Hey! That’s how I’m building my TD. Craftsmen we are. Craftsmen I say!    newkitman40746.9707175926

Thanks to all whom I talked with and visited (only Montie).  Several folk were willing, but timing was just off a bit for us.  Maybe next time, as many were willing to show me their projects.I made it home tonight after an 8,000+ mile, five-week long trip from Phoenix to Chicago, Detroit, New York City, then west to Columbus, OH, Decatur, IL, O…[Read more]

Wow! That is cool!Welcome back!

Rattle can!Except for an electric drill, I built my Duchess with hand tools…including the rattle can undercoat and black paint.

Wow.Good to hear from you again, G. We got a new member who’s fooling with a Buick 215 conversion in one of these, I think you two should talk. Look around the thread called “Another Project Reported.”

Back in the world again. I did get the contract to build a 1/4 scale flight simulator of the F-117 stealth fighter.The F-117 under construction with the poor neglected TD in the background.That would be Lt. Uhura in front for the roll out.

I just used the s-10 engine & tranny. I did use the S-10 front brake calpers & plumbing with custom disks to keep the 4 on 100 bolt pattern.

Great story!  Beautiful car too!! 
What wheels do you have?  My original baskets are showing their age and when I replace them I’m definately going with a true wire type (either bolt on or knock offs) also tring to decide whether to go with reverse off set like what is on it now or standard off set to put the wheels back inside the wheel wells.…[Read more]

Thanks for the info guys. Paul, did you use a rattle can type of undercoat or did you use a spray gun and paint booth to apply the undercoat?
I looked at the photo of your Duchess and saw that the underside of the front and rear fenders are black but wasn’t sure if it was painted black or the dark was a shadow. Thanks for the input. You can…[Read more]

 Paul, Two great minds at work! I’m just the slower of the two. I type slower as well.

Hey Larry…read the post above yours!
