You could stick with the Bond theme and call her “M”, and you could be the gadget guy “Q”! Peele is good though. Maybe the name of the British writer in Murder She Wrote. Just a few thoughts spinning around in my head. My TDr is “MoneyPenny” and my 74 Ghia was “Das Feureren” (the fox).

Welcome aboard Rabien73. Are you doing tweaks on your TDr or building? Either way, you’ve come to the right place.

Great. Glad to be of help.

You will also notice, different from other car forums…[Read more]

Good on ya, Greg.  And right, same thing happened when I had the tire guys slap on new tires and align it. Driving home I thought I was gonna die. Car wandered and rode so rough. Checked the tire pressure in the driveway: 36 all around.

Probably should set the rears at 22# +/-.

It’s amazing how much better the car rides with four new matched tires. As other have mentioned, Discount Tire loaded them up to close to 30 psi. After lowing the front down to 18 the ride and cornering is great. Had to take it the local winery, Orfila, for a test drive.

Carlisle bump. Just a couple weeks left to get a discount on showfield pass.

Hey David,  I appreciate your astute observations. I used 1/2 ” channel Aluminum stock, the ears are 1/2″ so you are just seeing optics from the angle. Yes the 3rd image was the original Duchess part that I used as a temple. I looked for 8 years to find an exact replica, before it occurred to me to just make a replica out of Aluminum channel…[Read more]

Paul. The Gas Tank Liner is shown in the CMC Assembly manual on page 48. It fits into the cutout for there gas tank and then the tank gets installed into the liner and body. The only purpose I can see for this is to prevent any fuel that leaks from the tank from entering the passenger compartment of there car. The body tub on my TDr does not allow…[Read more]
