Someone has several parts listed on ebay currently.  One item is a new top for a fiber fab.

Do you by any chance have the steering column support bracket?  I also need the steering extension bar. 

 

Thanks Bill

Thanks Bill

Allen,  My blue manual has the same description on page 25.  This would be a good starting point.  Have you cut out your two cowls yet?  If so could you measure the length across the top of your cowl.  This would give an idea of whoever cut mine did an okay job.

 

Thanks Bill Rooke

Thanks George, one of my manuals says copywrite 1982 and the other says copywrite 1983.  Both are old and old enough the pages are yellow.  I know I will get it done, but I’m so hesitant to drill that first hole in the body without knowing for sure that I’m right or close enough.

 

Thanks again Bill Rooke

Thanks Allen

 

We may need to team up.  I too think my kit is a combo kit.  My assembly manual is FF , and everything seems to be FF except my main body, it did have a CMC yellow sticker on it. My running boards and also the rear fenders do not fit well, they are going to take some grinding adjustments.  I did not get a wiring harness so I will have to build mine.  What gauge wire are you using?  I know the wiring diagrams show maybe 4 10ga but I did not see anything about the other wires.  I have started buying spools of 16ga. 

 

Thanks again, Bill Rooke

Hi Mike, thanks for the reply.  I think most of my pieces that did have scribe lines have been cut by one of the previous 3 owners.  My big question there is were they cut accurate.  That I will deal with down the road.  Right now my biggest problem is without any scribe points, I do not know where to drill the holes and start building the sides of the car.  I know the holes on the back side of the front and back fenders are not that big of a deal, but I better have a good idea of where exactly the fender goes on the side before I drill those holes.  Can you imagine a month from now finding out that you mounted the fenders an inch high and now need to lower them to make everything fit right.  It is clear why the previous 3 owners never built this car.  If I could just get the one measurement of where the fender passes over the seem of the cowl and main body back to the back of the front fender.  My problems would be almost over.  I then could hold the fron fender in place and make a mark with a grease pencil where the end of the fender is.  Then hold the running board up there lining it up on the line and making another mark at the rear  of the running board.  I then could make the holes I need.

Thanks for the advice.  My splash pans are the split type.
