If they are the Empi brand, you’ll likely find that you most cut and rotate, then reweld the back leg closest to the tunnel due to the mounting tabs. There is less space in that corner than farther forward, where these were designed to…[Read more]

Hey allWith all the talent in our club I was thinking that maybe the cowl brackets from SoCal speed shop could be modafied and used. Most of their parts are for early Fords but they may work.My Classic Roadsters LTD came with a pair of cool brackets and they do look better than just the frames. Im thinking of contacting a 3D printer company to…[Read more]

I found a 6inch fixed base with a adjustable sliding top. I think this will work fine for me.

At Carlisle, the Pa. Hillclimb Assoc. has a display with video directly across the road from us. Check it out.

Hi guys did we ever find or make the cowl brackets for the TD?

It’s a Fiberfab on a 1971 VW irs based platform. It sat in a basement for many years, bought it got it home put lots O love into it.

Great shot Bill. Can you say calendar photo? 🙂

Nice shot by the bridge, Bill!

Just getting to Bridget now after my “detour” with the truck. Lot of work to do before Carlisle. But doable. 

Sorry.  I’m still learning.  That last post was the pic I found of the rear springs.  (Can someone confirm that it is a TD?)

OK, who’s else is giving it a go this year? Ed, I know you have to give the new power plant a go. Schu, you have to go, you’re the poster boy. Gabe, I’d like to see what that custom frame V6 will do. As before, we’ll try to reserve an entire run time for Saturday morning so we can all run together. For those who have never done this, try it you’ll…[Read more]
