That hand sticking out of the side curtains is incredibly realistic.  It almost looks like someone is in the car!  Do you also have one of those fake legs you can hang out the back of the trunk?  LOL

If you go dual carbs you won’t regret it. They’ll make a noticeable difference from the Bug Spray, and a huge difference from stock. It will idle smoother and slower, and accelerate much quicker.Hows the new Pertronix working well for you?KentT2016-01-20 17:51:37

Well we are still playing with fuel pumps, fuel level-in-the-carb-bowl, and mixture screw settings on the Bug Spray…we will get’er right soon  —  I hope — or I’ll do as Shu suggests and find a nice set of Kadrons and manifolds for Emma (Found a rebuilt set online already set up for Vac Advance distributor….).

The picture in edsnova is what I have on my 1986 BCW Chevette.

I wonder how hard it would be to weld a motorcycle fill neck onto your gas tank?

I am hoping it is the same I just bought complete windshield for 500 and still needs about 200 from Moss. So worst case I ajust windshield frame if shorter rubber seal ok if longer I buy two. In the article I am looking for described same method of glass work I was hoping it told what kit. I won’t be home for two more weeks so just building in my…[Read more]

Thank you very much

You just cut off the squared-off part and clean behind it, then stick some aluminum tape on the back side and glass over the holes you made from the outside. Peel the tape off after the first layer or two and glass the back (or just leave the tape there and glass out past it an inch or so), then glass the outside again and shape it with 80-grit.…[Read more]

The Motorcycle Community has amazing looking caps – many are screw in.  Does anyone here know if the filler neck for a Harley is the same size as the generic looking cap I posted here?  That would be the simplest and most cost effective fix for my particular “problem”

Thanks but I ment where the guy reworked the fiberglass on cowl so original mg td posts would fit. The Fiberfab is square and TD is round he shows how to cut fiberglass and reglass to fitlangan2016-01-19 22:41:57

Hey Langan, I looked up on google for a Windsheild/Glass company, and they cut me a new flat autoglass windshield. They installed it in my orginal Dutchess TDr frame, all for about $150. Just a thought. I also purchased on line from a Dune Buggy web site, new rubber gaskets and the frame to car car molding. I do not remember the cost for the new…[Read more]

See you guys Thursday, hopefully before dinner. 

Thursday through Sunday !!

Ricrx7,  Somehow I missed your post!  Did your BCW come like that or did you modify it to be more like the TD?  Noticed the dash – phenominal – if you did it let me know what the process was like.

Thursday through Sunday as well!

Happens with rebuilt stuff too.

Hope the Pertronix works for you. Suggest you check its advance also. Since German Bosch distributors are NLA, this is far too common a problem…

Me too, we’ll be there from Thursday until Sunday morning if the Fates allow.  Looking forward to seeing you all!

I hope you find solace in the fact that yours is not an uncommon circumstance. 😉
