Before I stretched the Spitfire frame, I placed the TD replica body on top to see where the problems were. Very instructive. -

Heh-heh, yeah, or powered by a squirrel wheel. Sometimes seems like mine is anyway.
I don’t think there’s spare wheel venting for mine, solid round panel inside, and the car did well during the summer on 90 degree days too. Oil temp showed up to 230 after 10’s of miles going 70 MPH, usually around 220 to 225 on the highway.

Missed seeing about this until your reply secretagentcat. Yeah, I was wanting a Corvette since 40 years ago. Got to mean something to at least want one.
Just this past January I finally bought a ’77, last year of the flat back window, and first year they were available in black (without a special order anyhow). Mine was and is black but shows s…[Read more]

Thanks for the welcome. Hope to find some in site on these car. Kinda bought it on a whim hoping to make something out of it. Just not sure which direction to go with it. Not really much I to the vw cars and was thinking about a v6 I have a 4.3 sitting on a stand in my garage. Wasn’t sure what kind of MG it was or who it was made by. Any help…[Read more]

Hey All
I haven’t chimed in for a while but I couldn’t resist. The Penny Marie is a Duchess also and I’ve never had a problem with heat. I’ve been on the freeway in 90 degree temps going fast and I think I got hotter “and more sunburned” than the car. She’s never overheated on me. I also have the big round hole behind the spare tire but no one…[Read more]

And it was packed…over 5,000 folks in attendance. I got a free beer for being a Vet and scored some needed parts. Found a guy who cuts VW key blanks.…[Read more]

Believe it or not you have 3 TD members just south of you in the Stafford area – Rick – building his car now (just spent an hour with him last weekend checking out his cool rides and garage), Dean – just south of me with a running and driving example and myself with a car I restored about 12 years ago.

At this point it’ll be after Thanksgiving. Help setting the carb., oil pressure indicator, along with a couple of other gauges would be handy.
Thanks again, Lee

Sounds like you are getting on top of it and looking forward to meeting.

I didn’t find my “neighbors” with TDs on the map. What am I doing wrong?
Lee

Okay, just figured out how to reply…
Wow, thank you. I am retired leaving me available most of the time. How would you suggest we set up a meeting?BTW, I still have not been able to repair the oil pressure indicator so am reluctant to drive my TD.
Thanks again, Lee

Sure – love to meet. We need to pick a semi-warm weekend and try and get everyone together.
My email is dlschu42@gmail.com.
Might be easier to communicate.

Thank all of you for your responses. The openings I have around the engine compartment are made by the way the body parts of the original kit fit together. I looked again and it seems that there is plenty of room for air circulation without the spare tire opening. Actually my car runs pretty cool, it takes it about three to four miles before…[Read more]
