Mel  Just took a look at your wheels in the photo gallery. They are different to mine and look good. I have the ones that sit proud of the wheel and look like they were made by the Safeway shopping cart company.                Al

Mel if you like wire wheels so be it ..It’s your car.. Have it done up the way
you like and tell the nay sayers to take a walk..I was one that thought wires
on a TD didn’t look right But since have done some google on the web and
did find some pics of the TFs with wires so guess I was wrong ..My big but is
that I find chrome a big headache that…[Read more]

Octagon:
Wires were an option on the TF, TD’s had vented steel wheels.  But beauty is in the eye of the beholder, personally I like wires and am very happy with my baskets.
 

I just sent my donation Frank.Hey gang, every little bit helps. I think we’ve covered about 75% of the cost for next year.If our gracious host lets me know exactly where we stand, we’ll share that info.My personal goal is that FrankieD spends zero out of his own pocket.

 Hey Ringo   I thought I read somewhere that wires were an option on TD’s in 52 .  Craigar’s on a TD. Probably look good on the strip with the back end jacked and a big lump up front.                     Have fun while the sun still shines  Al.

Frank…I just PayPaled you $20.00..towards the web Site fees

Thank you to everyone who have sent their donations in.
  To date, I’ve received 75% of this years cost and that is AWSOME.
I started this side some years ago after purchasing our TDreplica and finding a lack of resources for owners. We have since had to part with our beloved Roxie but because of all the great people on this site, I have kept…[Read more]

OctagonIf we’re trying for exact copy or reproduction, then forget wire wheels altogether.  Real TDs didn’t have ’em!  That’s what makes our cars a little more fun, setting them up the way we want them.  Hmmm, I wonder what a set of Cragar SS’s would look like?Ringo

Hey CoffeyD   Don’t apologize for sharing your views and opinions as that is what forums and discussions are for. The word Replica in my dictionary states:- copy and or reproduction and you sure did not see any TD’s out of Abingdon  with those “cheap and tacky” baskets on the wheels. As soon as I have some spare cash in the bank I’m going to giv…[Read more]

Larry , Thanks for the kind words…And I’m sure your car is a winner also
being it had some of Marks magic touch…No I’m not leaving the site i be
checking the post almost daily..And will put my two cents in now and then
for what its worth..I guess Mark’s forgot more then most of us will ever
know ..Now i gave him a big head LOL

 Bill, It’s rainy in NC today so I could not have used the dust in my eye excuse,and the tears would have been real. Sometimes hard choices must be made but they are still hard choices.Thanks for your contributions to the forum,hope you will stay envolved with us.Knowing who built Angelica tells me all I need to know about her quality.I am amazed…[Read more]

Well at about 12:15 or so I watched Angelica’s rear End go down the street
On a two wheeled tow carrier.My wife said I had tear in my eye.might of of
been from the dust On it’s way to the new owners Home.
So Paul its official now..So go ahead and remove me from the Registry of
owners.

WOW, I thought they would have hijacked a plane instead of a display car
David, is your car a CMC?

The Classic Motor Carriages display car at Newark Airport (NJ) was a Gazelle…it was stolen!!! They guys from the SpeedTV show “Jacked” were not around back then.

David, looks like the photo didn’t load. My car was also an airport display unit. It sat for seven years at Memphis International after a  stay at the Tampa International Airport. The long time sitting didn’t do the car any good and it required a lot mechanical work.
I believe the hood was up for quite sometime on mine while in the airports b…[Read more]

Air Horns are the way to go . I mounted mine in the hood area of my ford powered MGTD. Truck horns with oversized air pump, they shake the car.
Also electronic horn and a 80 watt siren driver. When you re this small you need to be loud.
Remember the movie THE MOUSE THAT ROARED
 

It is Painless PN 10101.

I think that means it is for the GM column.

Will throw in a foot activated dimmer switch that I had
purchased intending to use but since my column operated
dimmer turned out to work fine I didn’t use the floor
mounted one.

James, if it matters to you, part number A-13705-AR (second one on the first page Ringo linked to) is similar to the map light on an original MG TC.The original TD had no map light. So you are free to do whatever you want!PMOSSBERG40072.9671759259

Ringo,
Thanks for the info. I do have a dozen of the Perko units in my parts bin. I am building a classic powerboat of teak and mahogany, similar to a Riva Aquariva (I am a former naval architect). The completion of the boat is two years away, so I may raid the bin again for the car. Already grabbed some mahogany for the dash and some of the…[Read more]

Maybe one of these would work. At least it looks more period correct than some of the others I found.
