welcome aboard.I’m in sunny SoCal.

Once again the forum saves the day!!!I’ve been having a recurring problem with the passenger side door latch. The pot-metal cam inside keeps popping off the steel lever arm. when that happens you cannot open the door from the outside and it’s difficult to open from the inside as well.So I pulled it out and set to fixing worn pot-metal to steel.…[Read more]

I think that putting up with me and my 2 TDrs is about all she wants to handle. She did make a complete top and side curtains (Different from factory as we didn’t have anything to copy).

Seems seated and square fits as it should on body but is not mounted, and months from road test.I’ve done it before but for the life of me I can’t upload picture.Oh evidently I canjuneybug2013-09-14 18:50:29

Okay. While some fiberglass work is drying I start to assemble the windshield assembly. Not a big problem but it will definitely take two people. What I found to be the hardest is making the seal fit around the corners. Even cutting a dart at each corner its tough. Anyone have any suggestions. A series of pictures to follow when I get it all done.…[Read more]

When I refer to my car I call it my chick magnet because 70 year old + women are very attracted to it.
