Lucky man. I think we all want to see more of this one.

My speedometer seems to work fine (only off one or two miles per hours per my GPS unit), but the odometer doesn’t work at all.  It didn’t move one tenth the whole way from Seattle to Phoenix.  

Do we have any forum members in Arizona or specifically, Phoenix?

Oh, that made me laugh out loud!Boy, if I carried that much spare gear and tools, I wouldn’t have had room for my luggage on my ‘bringin’ her home’ voyage.  Good advice, no doubt.

And I also created a Craig’slist for the tow bar yesterday and deleted it this afternoon.I’m not sure what the block of space is to the left of my first image.  It is 26 inches wide, flat, and then there is the mirror image on the left side.

No trouble at all, my buddies!  I welcome all of your input, as I had no idea what a coil over shock was, or even what kind of donor or base car I had purchased.I had an adventurous day, first at one UHaul dealer trying to get the lost-key lock drilled out so I could remove the sizing adapter from the small 1 1/4 inch to the 2 inch size, that I…[Read more]

Just a quick update.  As I mentioned in another post I have finally identified the car.  It is really not a kit at all.  In the early 80’s, members of Kosair Shrine in the Louisville and Southern Indiana area decided to build parade cars.  There were initially 20 members.  They used a basket case MGTD with a decent body to make molds and proc…[Read more]

Good one Ed!     

Either brake fluid or fuel. If its gooey then my vote is a leaking MC; probably where the pedal pushrod enters the MC. There’s a double wall where the MC mounts and it can take forever for a leak to show if its a slow leak. Yours sounds more like a blown seal. If it was the brake tube running from the MC to the rear then the fluid would be in the…[Read more]

Nicely done Wobby!this one is a keeper!

Richard you are da man! Thanks for the highly detailed description that an old Geezer like me can understand. Its invaluable infor for the rest of the members as well. Maybe Paul can add this to some technical area in our forum so we don’t lose it!

water was red line on cab this was after i could get in
 

…Ya picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel . . .

Good to hear from you, Richard. Looks like some of the gang are going to meet in Chambersburg MD when the Great Race passes through on June 14. They’re headed your way though, so you might want to meet up with them a few days later.Sorry to hear about your amblance. Do you really get engine damage before the water comes through the exhaust ports?…[Read more]

One afternoon as I was sharing a green bottle with Hulmet he shared with me hgis secrets to good fiberglass repair. Remember this was over a few green bottles and I’ve got this blackout thing going on ever since I started really working on my drinking problem. I think this is pretty much what he said. I even conjured up a few mental images to…[Read more]

I think so. The bottom of the scratch is white.

Yes, what Pink (Mark) said. Sorry. The one I linked to is the one you’ve got. You can resell the tow bar & get your $60 back. Just put it on Craigslist.On the good side, you have a more sophisticated and probably better front suspension than most of us. Towing this is now complicated. There used to be “universal” style tow bars available. Not sure…[Read more]

i do carry a sissors jack , a tool box , a spare coil and distributor (in case the electronic one melts) and yes, ive heard the(kinney rodgers) song……  “with four hungry children and a crop in thu field”

I’ve got one, Lost it yesterday. Mrs Wobby didn’t realize how fun and easy it was to drive. Same as yours silver and black. Mechanically if a part could come off I’ve taken it off. You’ll love it. Its easy to work on and very well put together. I PMed you my # feel free to call anytime.
Anyone know of a cheap well put together Speedie that the…[Read more]

And with all this chatter, I got home and Mrs Wobby thought we should do some yard work. Who needs a Pickup.
 
 
 And so as to quickly digress into a real lonely space of my brain that absolutly no one wants to visit regularly, Yes a pot of coffee.
I hate having coffee in those little cups always having to have the waitress come back time and tim…[Read more]
