This time of year in Vermont, morning commutes can get a wee bit chilly with the top off.

Finally got my new puller fan.  So, installed 160 thermostat, added an oil cooler, and installed puller fan.  Running out side garage, temperature stays at 175 degrees, but with top hood off.  Due to some carb problems, I have not been able to test on the open road.  If temp rises much with hood on, I think I’ll add top vents.  Not sure I can cut…[Read more]

114 in a box sounds fantastic.  What was a typical finish speed before the V8?

Heated seats???  I want air conditioning.

I got mine from eBay for around $75.00 with shipping included…something like this:

Mine came with 2 each  5-level controls (left and right).  This one on the eBay link has a single switch body with 2 sections (…[Read more]

Bill had recommended this product available from Amazon when I was recovering my seats. Easy to install and work well. I did my own wiring and switch to match the other switches I have
Dorman Part# 628-040

HappyJack,

After this morning’s drive in (no top on the car and 42 when I left my house) do you have any info on heated seats?  I might see if I can retrofit them.

Great idea — I ordered one of these Bluetooth amps to add to the center console that I am building for ManyPenny.

My Ford-based TDr seems to have room in front of the shifter for fire extinguisher, cup holder, heated seat switches, and this AMP — I hope.  So your post about this little amp is timely.

By the way,  thanks Billnparts for s…[Read more]

The posted results showed a finish line speed of 114.  Who Hoo!

Bob-

Not sure this is an option for you, but I purchased a bluetooth amplifier on amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072JJNSLX/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) so I can run music off of my phone (downloaded, spotify etc).

Sorry Bill

You were on the road so insurance should cover all – correct?

Road hazard – comprehensive?

Maybe help with the cash but still lots of work… Sorry again.

So sorry to see what happened.  Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Dammit, man! What rotten luck.

Glad everyone came out of it unharmed even if the vehicles didn’t.

I’ll be looking for another grill shell for you.

Sorry for your troubles.

great tip; must look into this option then – thanks

Hey Bill,

You may want to remove that “Race it == Break It == Fix It == Repeat” sticker from the side of your car…. or just keep the part that says “Race It == Repeat”  and skip the Break it == Fix it steps………..

As Royal says, — and I paraphrase — “now you have a winter project”

But it drives and no chassis damage — and you know…[Read more]

If you get a stereo with a remote control, you can put it anywhere.
