If they have one you can rent, take a black and white photo to make it look like it was back in the 50s. 🙂

My Duchess has a solid wood dash. Been so long I forget what kind of wood, but it is solid, not veneered plywood or pressboard, and is about 3/4″ thick.The top rear edge of the dash is routed out to provide the surface that mates to the fiberglass cowl, with only about an eighth or 3/16″ of wood remaining on the front side of the…[Read more]

Good Work!I have a question about dashboards. My LR has a fiberglass dash covered by thin veneer. Is that how others are as well, or do some have a full wooden dash?Some day I would like to replace mine, but don’t know if it’s possible. -

And here’s another thing I need to ask the 1.6 liter Chevette folks.
Looks like the BCW TDr is using the Catalytic Converter as a muffler as well?The Chevette maintenance book shows amuffler right after the Cat, but on my car there’s only a Cat?!?Is everyones like that?Tom -

Thanks Ed.
I welcome any and all suggestions, recommendations, etc.Always wanted a TD but didn’t want the issues my Dad had with his 1950’s English Cars (Hillmans).So long ago I decided something more “turn-key” would allow me to have some fun rather than spend every weekend going to the local Lucas Electric distributor (usually a motorcycle s… -

Before you replace the alternator, check the grounds on it. With these cars–and with most old cars–electrical faults are almost always ground-related.
Here’s a junkyard alternator guide that helped me get a little smarter. Please excuse me if this kind of stuff is way beneath your knowledge level.edsnova2016-02-04 21:13:27

Great picture. I had no idea The King ever appeared in a TD. Would love to know more about that.

In spite of your advice, as the car was running fine when I bought it in Sept except for the clutch cable that became detached on the last run of the year, my plan was to garage it in Nov and work on interior throughout the winter. Thus far have built a new dash from black walnut with VDO and Speedhut gauges. (Thanks Edsnova for the advice… -

This is probably the only place that ever existed where Elvis would get second place billing and be upstaged by a plaid tonneau. Thanks for being here, guys.

You did great. You could never build anything like I was suggesting for anything close to that.

If you got it as cheap as those initial bids looked, you did good. Worst case scenario: clean it up and sell it on.
