That is the BCW cap, per the original kit. I kind of wish it said “PETROL” instead of “GAS” but you can’t have everything now, can you?

Jack, is that a Reial Automobil Club de Catalunya badge on the front of that fine looking car????  

I put Montse away in December and she doesn’t come out until after the first rain in Spring.  Life is tough in this frozen hell.

You just cut off the squared-off part and clean behind it, then stick some aluminum tape on the back side and glass over the holes you made from the outside. Peel the tape off after the first layer or two and glass the back (or just leave the tape there and glass out past it an inch or so), then glass the outside again and shape it with 80-grit.…[Read more]

Thursday through Sunday !!

Me too, we’ll be there from Thursday until Sunday morning if the Fates allow.  Looking forward to seeing you all!

I’ll probably do a little propane burning and a little electric heating out there before the winter is through. But I’ll need close to 50,000 btu to get that place warm enough to work when it’s 20 degrees outside–10 of these. It is 1000-1100 square feet with 9-foot ceilings, and only about 20 percent of it is attached to the house. Well…[Read more]

What’s he asking for the Volvo car? It sounds really nice. The MGA rear gives it longer legs for highway cruising.

I carry the Eden Pure style heater from my basement room to the garage when I work there in the winter. Heats that space wonderfully.

The P-1800 engine was a popular period swap, and doubled the horsepower. Often it came with an overdrive transmission too. Ask about it.

Tom: I have a BCW but rear-engined. Your car looks great and so does Ric’s.

Next up: heat. Hopefully by next fall.

Very nice, Ed!

A V6 car? Cool. Gabe built one totally custom. The automatic should be a C3 or C4 assuming it’s only a three speed.

Could be a BCW, but I don’t think so. This car looks like no other replica I have seen.

I like the color combo. I don’t recall seeing another one like it. Definitely a unique approach on the dash layout. Wires!!

Good luck, Roy. I’ll be interested to see how this turns out.
