Thanks for the response…I wish I had either a thick enough and fully intact fiberglass bottom or enough floorplan metal to do what you did…

Glad you found it! Accessing the MC on these cars can be tricky and it’s also true that there as many styles of rig connecting the pedal to the MC as there are TDr manufacturers. My BCW uses a custom length pushrod. I’ve seen some that use two full set of pedals, with the one under the driver’s foot connected to the one at the original VW location…[Read more]

FOLLOW UP: I used an endoscope and figured out everything. The original builder of the car, not wanting to leave the MC where it was located and use a lengthened brake push rod, put the cabin interior on the pan, moved the MC to the back of firewall behind the brake pedal to use the same setup as original on the VW. Then he added the front of…[Read more]
Jim " Ponce " Garbarino started the topic Documented frame up build CMC/FF MG TD in the forum Classifieds 4 years, 1 month ago

Based on a ’66 VW this one was built from all original factory parts that came from Classic Motor Carriages/Fiber Fab in Miami. Photo documented from the start with a diamond plate floor to the custom paint job not gelcoat. It won a second place award at a German car show, it’s been in a movie and numerous photo shoots. Loaded with a ton of…[Read more]

thanks, David, did that a few years ago and even took it to the mechanics, but no one can figure out how to get to the assembly once the body was put on, there is no openings anywhere that we can find. I can shine a light down the hole cut in the battery box and no light shines anywhere under the car, it is totally sealed up. That is where the m…[Read more]

Does anyone knows something about a company called TPC MOTOR COMPANY that worked in the 80’s and 90’s in Stratford-upon-Avon, England?

I believe I have a MG TD replica made by them in 1984. Can’t find any history on the Internet of MG TD replicas made by them.

Thank you

Raymond
Have a look in the Library section of this site. You will find an assembly manual for a CMC VW based TD. On page 10 the brake assembly and master cylinder are shown. You will at least see how it was put together

Hi, newbie asking first question and hope this is the correct place to ask. We have had a CMC Classic TD based on a 1963 VW bug for about 5 years. It was assembled by someone in the 1970’s from what I can tell. It has a plaque on firewall identifying it as number M 1040 for what that is worth.

It appears that we have a leaking brake master cy…[Read more]

The sides were made by grinding/routing out the slots, correct? Did you make a jig?
Vicenç Feliú replied to the topic Air and Auto Classic VA Beach in the forum Clubs and Show 4 years, 1 month ago

Excellent, thanks Bill. I will start making arrangements.

The hood louvers I had made by a local hot rod shop. I then just grafted the louver panel into the hood.

Yes, Ed and I both sprung for the Rock Star parking.
Accommodations have been made at the Oceanfront again, also.

I do have a question for you. Where did you get the big hood vents?
William Coates commented on billnparts's Photo 4 years, 1 month ago
Sorry to reply so late. I have converted mine yet as I was gathering parts. I now have everything I need except glass for the windshield. I am not sure if building a…

Ed and Bill – Are you guys doing the rock star parking like we did last time? I will come up if you two are going to be there. If anyone hears from Royal or Happy Jack, please, let them know to contact me. If either one of them is coming, I will meet them in New Bern and convoy up from there.
edward ericson replied to the topic Air and Auto Classic VA Beach in the forum Clubs and Show 4 years, 1 month ago

I think Jack and Royal are both maybes.
billnparts replied to the topic Air and Auto Classic VA Beach in the forum Clubs and Show 4 years, 1 month ago

You’d be sure to get the “farthest traveled”.
