The wife found her perfect lil hotrod. Up until the FB Marketplace ad popped up showing a BCW Model 52 a few days ago, we had never heard of such a cool piece of kit! From what we’ve learned so far, it’s based on a Chevette chassis, Fiero v6 and S-10 automatic trans. While the bones appear good, she needs a good bit of TLC to her up to par for…[Read more]

I just purchased a Fiberfab MGTD kit car with Ford Pinto engine. I’m trying to find as much about it as I can. The vin # for the vehicle is “FM1841 if that is any help. I’m specifically trying to rebuild the carburetor and have the carb # and have purchased a rebuilt kit. The adjustments like float height for example are based on where the engin…[Read more]

Using your chart and if I read it right, mine was built in December of 1969. Is that right?
The number under the generator stand is:
H5351754. I don’t know if that can be broken down as to what I have for a engine. -

Thanks David.
I removed the passenger side seat bottom. Then I was able to peel back the carpeting exposing the top of the tunnel. From the shifter mechanism, the linkage access cover is back about 18”. They had put a very thick coat of something all over the flooring and tunnel. I look real close and right in front of the access cover hole, it a…[Read more] -

After getting a warning about repeated failed login attempts from Vietnam as a site administrator I have made the settings a little more strict. I have set the site to lock accounts after 10 failed password attempts in an hour (same for password reset). The failed account will be locked out for 4 hours.
Frankly, I’ve not seen any legitimate users…[Read more]

The badge bar is a correct place to mount auxiliary lights on a TD. The Moss badge bar has mounting brackets for the fog and/or driving lights built in. There were several different types of TD badge bars, and you can see some had light brackets and some didn’t. The correct lights are made by Lucas.
The originals are actually quite good. I can’t…[Read more]

Hi All,
This is my first Replica/Classic car, and I wanted to see what things I should be on the lookout for. I just replaced all the tires as they were varying stages of dryrot, and noticed the brake pads were low, so ordered those and will see about them next week. I did have to take apart the shifter assembly and clean it up and grease it a…[Read more]
