Does anyone know if 14 x 7 wheels have any clearance issues on the Ford CMC kit. The kit calls for 14 X 6 with 3.5 backspace.

Don,
I installed the shorter adapter on mine and it really helped. On a side note I cut the turn signal lever off shorter and made a new knob for the end. The wood wheel is a smaller diameter than the stock wheel was and with the wheel closer I kept banging my knuckles on the level when turning. Works great now and look better too.
Thanks again,
Burnie

I don’t think that going to air shocks is the correct way to fix this problem. You would be able to level the car but would adversely affect handling.
I would predict that there is one or more torsion leaves in the front suspension beams that have either come loose from their grub screws or they have broken. The torsion leaves are available a…[Read more]

What is the difference between the left and right, measuring on a level surface, measure from floor to common chassis points on left side and right side. Pushing down on the tub on the right side then the left is there a…[Read more] -

@pmossberg The Duchess is in the garage, resting after the long trip from Pennsylvania to Texas. She will soon be back to life and active. Will keep you up to date, and yes visit her anytime.

Well …. I’ve reached the end of an era that began in 1981 when three huge Classic Roadsters, Ltd. boxes arrived from Fargo North Dakota. After finally finding a suitable donor Beetle, my build took up nine months of 1982, and I drove her for the first time in December that year. It snowed during the first drive!
The Duchess was titled and…[Read more]

Yup — not even a smidgeon of room left over in the cockpit heater installation. The only unit that I could find to fit the space was a heater made by Maradyne:
