That  same car was listed on South Jersey Craig’s List a few months ago. Larry Murphy posted the link here. He was asking $5,500 firm and it said “shown by appointment only”.
It sure looks nice, but sometimes people use pictures that are years old. Got to be careful. He also says the Weber carb was added…NOT…that’s a standard Chevette…[Read more]

WOW! This is awesome.

Hey Mario…I’m the other “Jersey Boy”. I’m in Monmouth County. Both Paul Mossberg and I are former presidents of the now defunct New Jersey Replicar Club. Several other former NJRC members are members here too.
You did the right thing by inquiring here BEFORE you buy.
If you are not going to build, buying one that is done or just needs a little…[Read more]

Just bumping this up to remind everyone about the Carlisle registration discount that runs from Dec 17 through Dec 31.

Excellent choice, Clockdoc. If I run across one I’ll for sale send you the info.

Got mine ordered today, I think. Site was a little confusing to me, but don’t think it’s the sites fault. The calendar looks great. Just not a computer wizard.

I’ve got the BCW rear-engine build manual. Fairly detailed, well-illustrated and in decent condition. Just need to scan ‘er in.

If anyone has any assembly manuals not already on our site, please email me or contact me via private messenger.
We’d like to add as many as we can to our Download Manuals page.
Thanks.

Update on calendar. The May, September and November shots are as follows. The rest is the same, plus there’s a cover shot. I ordered one & and working out a way to make it easy for anyone to grab one via the web & pay pal or a credit card. The site I’m using wants $25 to print and ship these. I’d like it cheaper and will look about for a cheaper…[Read more]

Welcome, Redd. Boy are you in luck. Two of our most knowledgable & active members are Jersey Boys. [EDIT: and there he is, posting before I could finish writing this one!]I just passed my one-year anniversary of ownership & couldn’t be happier. Perfect mix of good looking car what gets lots of positive attention, economical cost of purchase and…[Read more]

Hi Redd,
I received your email. But figured I’d reply here so everyone can see and add their comments. There are a fair number of us here that are crazy enough to still live in NJ.
Re that old Alfa replica, I believe vehicles titled/registered as Street Rods (an official class in NJ) may run fenderless.
Other home built or “kit cars” are titled…[Read more]

I have a CMC FibreFab Kit and have looked at all the manuals. The Classic Roadster’s manual beats the others hands down.

Nice work, Paul.Those with Macs should know to rotate the pages by holding the “butterfly” key (AKA “command”) and the letter R. If you select all the pages first, they’ll all turn at once, then you can save the file with them all oriented right like that.

Not just because I built one, but Classic Roadsters provided the best assembly manual in the business. If you own ANY VW based TD replica, it might be worth your while to take a look.
The original manuals are in landscape format. My autofeed scanner does not automatically rotate the pages. On a PC, if you open the PDFs within your browser, right…[Read more]

 
same as old top….Tan to match the side curtains.  Used a local car top/upholsterier.

Cool beans. What color and was it a boat shop that made your top or a local car upholstery/top shop?

Update:
I am having a top made by a local top maker, cost was 30% less than MG Magic and he is installing th snaps and custom fitting.  Should be ready is about two weeks.
More to follow
 

Good to know.
