I never had or was I ever able to find any manuals. I think I have the chrome Allison script. I did have a copy (picture of the fuse panel) With them all labeled but they weren’t the same as mine. My wiring was never hacked so I don’t know the difference, maybe just changes the factory made

The young gentleman at the tire store was afraid to move the car and asked me to. Must be young enough that he had never driven a Beetle.

We are lucky, lots of small wineries within a 10 mile drive. We could walk to Orfila (or back) if we had to.

you state you had an allison, well i have one and she is a looker but i have no owners manual part or build manuals nothing!! by any chance would you have anything or can you point me in the right direction in obtaining anything manuals jacks tool kit. Or do you have any spare part.

Glad you got it all sorted. 😀                                                                                                                                                                                       I know how confusing tire sizing and pressures can be 😕 .  When I purchased wire wheels for my London Roadster, I went with t…[Read more]

On my previous toyo tires 165/80, I’ve run them at 18psi front and 24psi rear. Tried 16 and 17, but 18 in the front was a lot smoother based on my experience.

A panhard rod is a strut or brace you mount to the frame on one side of the car and to the rear on the opposite side. This keeps he body centered over the axle preventing side to side stress on he suspension.

Could you explain or send me a link about this panhard rod on this car.

ATTENTION, Carlisle…..Court Yard Marriott Hotel Reservations.  You have just 1 more day….The room block has been extended until Friday the 21st . You will need to call  ” Charity Shreffler”  direct  at   717 458 – 0531

At the very least, install a panhard rod to prevent the springs from breaking.

“Go Withs” are always cool to get hold of. They are specially nice items if you take your car to shows. I have a few. Framed and placed around the car they make a nice display and add to the overall presentation.

Nice. It’s kind a rare item. I’m curious about the price of it.

Thanks Bill

Being 77 years old and my hot rod days are long gone would that Fiber Fab rear end be OK

The frame under my FiberFab Ford TDr is massive in comparison to what sits on it. It’s box channels with steel supports for the cowl and rear apron. The weakest link would be in FiberFabs idea of rear suspension. Eliminate the cut up leaf springs and build a multi link with coil overs and a panhard rod.
