Bump.Also, sorry for your trouble, Denny. For sure next year, OK? Guessing Montie’s not making it in from Ohio? (Ohio was it?) Or are you in with the webbed seat trick?That still leaves the usual suspects–Schu, who as usual has his stuff together, apparently; Mossberg–Paul, have you regained access to your shed, car and 1776 long block? Need any…[Read more]

Yes this site is the best. 
Allen, I know what you mean on the rotator cuff, 4 weeks on the recovery from surgery now.   Montie

Mel and Rob,  What rims are they.  Both look great!!

Mel and Rob,

The cobra is a Factory Five.
http://www.factoryfive.com/
It’s got a little more pick up then a vw, 13.2 and 105 mph in the quarter mile.  It’s a 92 Mustang drivetrain with a few extras.
My td is based on the 4 cyl Ford platform about 72 hp on a good day.

Is the Cobra also on a VW base? And your shade of red looks to be identical to luvmytd’s MG.

newkitman,
I know what you mean about Revelle model interesting how that picture came out but I can assure you they are both very real replicas 🙂

Yeah, Rob, that’s gonna be a cool rig. I dig that Cobra too. 

Okay…those two cars are Revelle model cars Right? They both look way cool.

I got her twin, check out RobBaker. Ford 4 cyl automatic.  Just came out of the garage to get inspected last Friday in NH.  Had to pour gas in the carb to get her running again it was a long winter but she is running great.
Just did the final install on the trailer hitch need to get a picture of that.  It’s going to be my tow vehicle for my Fo…[Read more]

Yes it is. Now if you could only find some inexpensive replacement parts for my left rotator cuff. This getting old stuff HURTS! 

Great  news Allen!
This site is a terrific resource!

Thanks
Keeping her looking good is a labor of love.

Looking good Mel!!!

Terry, sorry you have to sell. You could post pics here too if you’d like. Make sure they’re no bigger than 500mb. Hit that “tree-up-arrow” icon hanging off the upper right corner of the “Post Reply” window. Put a complete description too. What year pan is it on? Do you know the engine size? Which kit manufacturer is it? Stock drums or disc…[Read more]

That is such a clean looking TD, Mel. Love those wheels.

OK, got it done. Calafer, thanks. Used your jack-the-allen-wrench technique. Got the top adjuster almost all the way home.This was after taking both upper arms out of the spindle. To my surprise (but not Mark’s, I’m sure), they popped up and out. They were not pre-loading down on the lowers, they were fighting the lowers. Shot some WD-40 into the…[Read more]

Think the way forward here is to pull out the top ball joints and just turn the top trailing arms up and then tighten the adjuster locks. I want to add a pinch of negative camber to try to “tuck” the tops of my wheels under the fenders a tad, so the ball joints have to be loosened for that anyway. Thinking that’ll help keep the driver’s side…[Read more]

Thanks guys. Roger on the allen-wrench-as-prybar trick. That’s been my SOP since the beginning. Didn’t try jacking on it yet, but, maybe…. Seems like either it’ll work or break.Already disconnected the shocks, so that ain’t it.I got more slot visible above the top of the wrinkly curved lock plate still, and I know the mechanism moved in its full…[Read more]

Looks great,  can you send some of that sun up to Ohio.  Montie
