I wonder what those “custom-made” steel wheels were.

Looks great! Happy motoring!

I will look for my factory invoice from Classic Roadsters Ltd.But it might still be at my ex-wife’s place. I don’t get there very often!

I’ve got one from CMC in Miami for a Ford kit if that would help.

Excellent job. That pan will last a long time.

Sweet. 

painted the pans with Raptor Bedliner Spray.  They came out great.  I also moved the Ebrake lines as recommended.

Spent today re-routing wires, soldering ring and spade ends, shrinking heat-shrink tubing, looking for more wire. I think I have the fan all squared up now. But not so sure.

Maybe some of these bulbs http://www.ebay.ca/itm/380797165478?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649Along with these pigtails http://www.ebay.ca/itm/151269242509?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649And make my own lights?

Mine has two bulb sockets exposed in the inside fender. ( separate bulb of the signal light and the combination tail/stop light.  The above unit doesn’t have the separate signal light so requires a “converter” to make it work. 

Thanks, Steve. Exactly how I meant to say it.

The only thing protruding into the wheel well on mine is the socket base for the light bulb. You can use a spark plug wire boot ( distributor end) to seal that. These LED’s are cool…there’s a thread on them somewhere in here…unfortunately , I’m not running that style lamp.

Here you go:

IT’S. ALIVE !!!(I’d post the link to the scene in the Frankenstein movie if I knew how)

The Laffer is a coveted car. Well-made (usually at the factory in brazil), roll-up windows; just different enough from a TD replica to be something different. They have their own club. Or, at least, they used to.

Took a few days off from the car and everything else. Finished the air intake and then got the engine running and idling today.

Gee I wish I had friends like that.  For a free-be I’d have to make room too, and suffer the rath of the wife later.  But honey it followed me home!
