News Flash:  Just heard from George,  he says that Rock Star parking is 1/2 sold out already.

Apparently they had to “cut back on Rock Star parking” for some reason.  Please register early.  He is trying to hold a block of space for us, but it’s a bit iffy.  No promises.

Please don’t forget to register for Rock Star parking.  I am arranging that we can all be together with prime time parking, on the asphalt, right in front of the hangars, regardless of what interesting auto you bring.  (This assumes that we all arrive together “parade-like”.)

I just got this registration invitation email from  George Michaels who is the point man organizer for the event.  Please post on this forum (as well as registering) to keep TDr members up to date on your intentions.  We always have fun.  It’s a fun event.  Please consider.
Greetings Air & Auto Classic attendees,

Thank you for your past supp…[Read more]

As far as cutting the coils, each coil removed increases the spring rate apx. 10%. The Ford springs rode like a rock. Consider a spring shop if the ride is too rough.

No drop axles for Chevette.  But I can use a special longer ball joint that lowers car 1″ and then cut springs one coil for another inch.  The front end sits pretty high now.  There is no manual for front engine Chevette, but the CMC Chevette Manual says to cut one coil from the front springs.  I decided on 15×7 wheels 35 mm offset with 205…[Read more]

Initially, so was mine. I really got tired of fighting with it every time I had to work back there I reversed the positions. I have never had a problem with anything coming loose. But you are correct, originally  the hat was under the cover.

I looked at mine this past weekend and the spare tire holder is behind or underneath the rear hood.

Post at 3:30 AM – wow thanks.  Mine is not VW either, Chevette based with VW rims to look somewhat like original.  Good point that I should keep same size tire.  What is current size you are running and what offset are your rims.  Your suspension is Pinto – correct?

Mine is not on a VW, but I had run 205/60R15 on the front with 235/60R15 on the rear with no problem. I now keep the same size front and rear.(what do you do when you have a flat?)

OK – since I’ve done some research for rims/tires.  I’ll post and see what anyone has to say.  Currently BCW has Volkswagen 15 inch rims on Chevette suspension (4×100) with a 1 inch thick adapter.  The VW rims are 4 1/2 inch wide and have about a +45 mm offset.  I propose to remove adapter gaining 1 inch inboard.  I calculate that I can fit up a…[Read more]

Very good. That’ll work.

This is how I fixed it, bolted corner braces to the top part then put rivnuts on the side to attach the top with the corner braces installed
