Gary if you could take a few pictures we might be able to help you Idenetify  which td you have?

If you go into the library at the top of the page there is a quick listing of the different manufactures.

Great work, John. A lot of really nice detail. Good on you, too, for keeping those kids out in the garage instead of in the basement where they usually end up.

Nice work!  Your attention to detail really shows up in the overall impression!

Tombstones?  LOL, I never thought of that!  They were just intended to mimic the shape of the dashboard while acting as head restraints but now that you mention it … yeah, tombstones!  Maybe I should also get little skull decorations for the car, too!   😀

The “engine turned” part to the instrument panel is just an applique to an original TD…[Read more]

John. Loved the photos. I really like the look of the wide whitewalls. Plus I like the windshield post end caps as well. Excellent workmanship.

Super nice work John.  I like the use of the engine turned center section of the dash…..in fact, the whole dash is darker than most – I like it.  Where did you get the hinges for the glove box/radio door?

A really spectacular TDr, (except for the seat backs which look like tombstones).  Please don’t take offense, I’m hard to please – I never li…[Read more]

WOW, Absolutly Awsome!

What Dennis P (bgtrn) just wrote is perfect!

I’ll only be shortening an 8 inch, 16AWG wire by about half so I don’t think its enough to be concerned about.

The resistance of 16 AWG is .0132 ohms per metre aka 39″. Heavier gauge wire ie 14 AWG will have a lower resistance per metre

Measured the resistance of the float mechanism from empty through full. Runs from 4 ohms at empty to 12 ohms at full. Then removed the float mechanism from the mount bracket and cut the bracket to size after measuring the depth from top of float mechanism flange on tank to bottom of tank. Then installed the float mechanism and rechecked the ohms…[Read more]

I made the mistake of using a 61-67 float with the kit gauge, it doesn’t work.  Someday I might replace it with a universal float but, for now, I’m using the trip odometer as a gas gauge.
