Congratulations on your new acquisition. It’s always a good thing to know the history of the car.
The little things that are bugging you should be available through either mgmagic or moss motors.
Good luck with learning to drive stick. It’s a skill well worth having.

Again, here are the instructions for posting photos. Photos cannot be posted from phone or tablet.
First you go to your own thing. Upper right corner it should say something like “Howdy, Happy Jack.” Click on that and you get a drop-down menu. At the bottom it says “media.” Hover over that with your curser and you should see another…

I’ve found that you cannot post photos from an iphone or ipad. Gotta use the desktop or laptop.

Bit the bullet and sprung for Holley’s Sniper EFI conversion kit. It replaces the 4 barrel carb with throttle bodies. Had to upgrade the electric fuel pump and filters and run a vent line back to the tank and run a few wires. Damn thing would not fire. An hour and a half on hold over the course of two days with Holley Tech Line and problem r…[Read more]

If you’re looking for more room, cutting the seat back for height and moving it back onto the storage area is quite easy. Just mount it where you’re comfortable. Perfect time to add seat heaters.

We piggyback with another club, the “Speedster Owners Group”, and take over a local hotel for an extended weekend. Dedicated parking area with space for trailers and…[Read more]

Welcome, John.
Very pretty car. Love the color scheme.
Don’t know where you’re from, but the big meet at Carlisle is coming up May 14-15. If you can make it we’d love to see it.

billnparts replied to the topic What color is my '52 Duchess? in the forum VW Based Kits 3 months, 1 week ago
Originally these were not painted. It’s gel coat.I painted mine in ignorance. The gel coat could probably have been brought back to life.
There is a thread or two in the forums.

Al, that usually is covered by the Speedster group. Once they negotiate the dates and rooms they will post. Most likely we’ll be back at the Marriott in Mechanicsburg.
Looking forward to seeing you there.

Took longer than i expected to post these. Computer programs upgrade and change how everything works just as you get comfortable with them.
Anyway, the final photos of the upgrade.
The panel being finished.
The finished panel.
Didn’t turn out too bad. It’s not perfect, but it’s good enough for who it’s for.
See you in Carlisle.
