Welcome…plan on bringing it to Carlisle.

Sweet…will we see it live at Carlisle?

Original headlight brackets is a great thing to see on these cars, and that folding windshield too. Hope you can get your convertible top fixed, I’ve been noticing that tear at the bow from your other pictures.

“The latches snap like an overloaded suitcase when I open the hood but I figured that could be the way it’s supposed to be.”  Yes, that’s the SPPPRRRUNGG! that I was talking about.  And the shape of the front of your hood looks a lot like mine before I cut it back.  However, your hood still seems to fit better, especially at the back.  I think abo…[Read more]
