Roy and Jack.

Glad you folks weathered that storm with little damage. Prayers were answered for you. And down in Oak Island, SC, John Barry faired okay as well. Glad our TDers are all safe and unharmed.

As long as the Mini didn’t float away on its roof.

Lots of damage.  But, we got lucky.  A mutual friend lost his new travel trailer, his house was flooded and he lost 3 cars.  Tough to deal with a loss of that magnitude.

As I said, we were both very fortunate.  Neither of us will come close to reaching our deductible.

Glad you weathered the storm. Quite pleased that all your damage was minor. From the TV coverage we had I envisioned everything ruined. Glad everyone and everything is OK.

Hey Folks,

I got back to New Bern yesterday afternoon — all is well, except for the two “portable garages” that are REAL portable now.

BCW TDr Emma came out unscathed except for a rip in the car cover.  The Bugeye Merlin lost its car cover but the tonneau cover kept out most of the rain.  A drying in the sun and Merlin should be back in the p…[Read more]

do you have a part Id for the oil cooler and fan?

Thanks for checking in, guys.

Glad to hear you and Jack are well.  Charlene and I worried about y’all.

Thanks for the concern guys.  Julie and I pulled into our debris filled yard a couple of hours ago.  All’s well.  No holes in roof.  No broken windows.  Pretty lucky.  Feeling good, but tired.

I spoke with Jack who is trapped in Wilmington, NC.  He’s doing fine and will come home to New Bern as soon as all of the many obstacles (road debris…[Read more]

Roy was here yesterday. He came up to his brother in laws here in PA. He said he got a call and his house was OK.

Jack, I was told, left New Bern and went to Wilmington. Frying pan to the fire. He never responded to my email.

Worked on carb and seems much better.  Then decided to change distributor to HEI.  That is now installed.  But no test drive because I had a few minutes available and removed heater.  So now I have holes in firewall that need to be covered.  I also have a lot of space where heater used to be.  Am thinking of putting the radiator overflow tank…[Read more]

My engine would overheat just sitting in the driveway running (with hood on).  I believe it was a weak pusher fan that just could not handle the heat.  So I got a Spal puller fan, changed to 160 degree thermostat, and added an oil cooler.  The car now runs at about 165-170 sitting in the driveway. with the hood off.  Due to some medical issu…[Read more]

Hey Everybody!

I was wondering the same thing…My wife recently bought a new car and she doesn’t even need a key in the ignition! All she has to have is the key fob and push a button when she’s in the car! Then to stop the car, she just pushes a button. It’s pretty cool! If you don’t have the key fob, the car won’t start…I was wondering if it…[Read more]

Scubasteve,

I just tapped into the red and purple wires at the Chevette ignition switch and ran

them to a heavy duty momentary contact switch I mounted in the dash.
