not this year, but I’m looking forward to Carlisle. Audrey & I will stay over sat & leave sunday

I am a firm believer if the KISS method of building do not make it more expensive or complicated

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

Hey Toller,

Are the VDO sender units different from the VW ones? I have a new VW sender unit that I put in with the new tank but the gauge is not working. So I guess the real questions is, if I replace the VW sender with a 10-180 ohm unit, might that solve my gauge problem?

Welcome aboard, Mickey!  That’s a great find.  I’ve been wanting to add one of those to my collection but they are as rare as hen’s teeth.  There’s a guy around my area (it maybe the same guy that Ed’s talking about since Ed and I are close) that has one.  He’s a little sketchy about the provenance when you talk to him about it but it’s a Vic…[Read more]

The car in the banner photo belongs to @jebarry.  It’s a Flat 4 banjo wheel.  Here’s a thread on banjo wheels.

Very nice, Ed!

Dammit, looks like you guys had a blast and I spent my Saturday in conference room at the Loews Chicago O’Hare.  @billnparts make sure you put some of those shots in the flickr group, please.
