Allen,
In the hope that you will continue to update this thread, I changed the title to add “CMC Fiberfab” and “VW”
Hopefully this will make it easier for the next CMC Fiberfab builder to find your build thread. PMOSSBERG40707.5300347222

Be sure and take lots of detailed pics of your build and post them. Even the smallest details will be of some help to someone.

BD,
The kit is a CMC Fiberfab kit that I’m going to put on a 71 Beetle chassis.
Here’s the before picture showing the scratch on the fender.

Allen,
Who is the kit manufacturer?
What platform will you build it on?
Nice fender repair. Where’s the before picture?
 

Allen,Good luck!Share the build with us!And in case you are wondering about the “edited by pmossberg”, all I did was reduce the size of the first picture a little to allow the post text to appear without the left/right scrolling.

Thanks Mark.Will she allow color variation? Or must the image be exact as shown on the web site?

Bon Chance!

A trick I learned way back was to loosen the clamp on each side of the manifold boot just enough to rotate the center part of the manifold toward you and that gives you more access. Also don’t forget to loosen the nut that secures the center manifold section to the engine block.

Rob and Dave also comment on how difficult it is to get a grip on that forward nut and recommend an S-wrench. They refer to Aircooled.net which has a 90 degree bent 13mm one for $15.95, which is what I spent for the whole set I ordered from Harbor Freight. I’ll let you know how it works when it arrives. Meanwhile I can’t do anything with that…[Read more]

I have a dual port and you can see that the 30 carb base on there now does not match up like the 34 does. It was fitted on, but it’s not the same as the 34. The 34 was the carb that belongs on there.I have tried all kinds of wrenches and I cannot move it even 1/8″, to loosen the nut, as there is no room to swing the wrench unless you remove the…[Read more]

i just replaced the 30 pict1 on my 1600 sp with a universal fit 30 pict something and had no real trouble reaching the hold down nuts. it is my understanding that a 30 pict 1,2 or 3 are for a single portand a 34 pict id dual port and not inter changable without an adapter of some sort. there are some experts on this site that can give you details…[Read more]

Dual Port ?  I always get to mine. Slow and easy, Patience. I think if you check a staight 6 inch open end will work, Slow and easy

Rich: get another one after you tire of the Honda. Next one, put an S2000 engine in it somehow!

I bid on it and got out snipped.  I did try Rich.  I would have loved to have that one.

Hi Almost,I am getting a late start on Forum use. Better late than never. I am the guy with the BCW/Chevette. The pedal in mine are quite close. Especially the clutch & brake. I can’t wear large shoes. Mine work great with Running shoes. It feels like I am driving with racing shoes. It all works well with me. Your layout looks to be able to work…[Read more]

I purchased the Moss luggage rack for my BCW TD. As the guys at Carlisle saw. It can be mounted to the BCW tire rack. I had to fabricate a 3″ extension bracket, top and bottom mount to clear the tier. Once made the rack work just fine and will hold quite a load. Best of luck with the fiber deck lids.Greg

For what it’s worth, I used the 3M Fast Tack on everything. Welting, interior panels, carpet…you name it.I built my car in 1982. Nothing has fallen off. And the only thing that had to be reglued was a small portion of carpet in the trunk that was glued to bare plywood.

I’m loving this build!Thanks for sharing it with us!

 
There are two levels of adhesive. One for carpets, the other for hood liners, head liners and trim. The trim adhesive is much stronger stuff. The standard Eastwood product is $6.99 on sale, $12.99 retail. The Eastwood super stick stuff goes for $18.99. I used 3M trim adhesive on my Avanti hood.
After shipping, the $6.99 Eastwood product mig…[Read more]
