Not familiar with the Jovi. Got any pics?    

Gee, thanks for the reminder Mark. Man, I wish I had the Jovi back!

 Joe make sure that you have the year of the doner car correct if you have the builder’s paper work that would be a help  , if not go by the V I N number on the engine . I have not had to look mine up I got all the paper work from when mine was built but a quick thing if it is a single bbl carb. it would be 1.4    75-77  good luck …[Read more]

Thanks, Karen. Love me some boattail speedster, if I had the funds…

Paul should share his story about the Jovi (Chrylser Lebaron conversion) he sold.
There are a thousand stories in the Naked Kit Car Realm!

I searched for “Tim Durham” and “Replica” and came up with Auburn
Speedster Motorcars out of Florida.

Have you sold this car?

Thanks, Dan. It’s the walnut piece that came with the kit in 1980, I think. Delaminating a bit in the left corner but otherwise still pretty nice.

 Is that dash OAK it looks GREAT  Dan

Ed, dash looks great!!  Let me know when you want to do mine.. I was lucky to get the stereo in.  I thought that was a big job, a complete dash, Not sure I’m up for that. 

Thanks.Just fitting the instruments now & chasing down electrical gremlins. But yes. The plan is to make a new dash–I have the wood for it–including a glove box. Hope to be done in a few months. Probably not by Carlisle, but maybe, if I get a some lucky breaks.Mean time I hope to get the car back driveable in the coming weeks using the old…[Read more]

Looks good Ed – you going to do a glove compartment as well?

Is this car still available?

That dash looks amazing!

 Wow Ed,, That dash is looking great!! It’s the first one I’ve seen using the MG center . Looks really ”British” . The more appropriate size speedo and tach are a very nice touch.

 Doug, Good to hear of your successful conversion and that it’s performing well. I read the link and noticed you are using a clutchless 4 speed transaxle. Is it necessary to shift 1-2-3-4 when starting from a complete stop? Is it necessary to shift to a lower gear when climbing steep hills? Is it more efficient to use lower gears for slower…[Read more]

Beautiful here in Baltimore for the last couple days. Dried clothes on the line today, cooked hotdogs on the grill. Spent most of the afternoon in the garage, messing with Bridget’s interior bits. Got some new carpet, new instruments. Started my new dashboard project. Installed the center cluster, though not wired up yet.Looks fairly TD-ish, I think.

Nice one, Doug. Like I said before, your car is totally cool. Would love to see it at Carlisle though I’d understand if towing the thing clear from Illinois seems to you counter-productive of the car’s purpose.Still, would love to cruise with ya, and would very much like to see that beast up close.Carry on. Stay in contact.
