Crud in the gas tank blocks the fuel line. If you can take the tank out and dump the crud out & clean it, maybe coat the inside with one of the POR 15 -type tank liners, you’ll be good to go.–Actually, you might want to consider replacing the rubber/neoprene bits of your fuel line as well.If you can’t take out the tank, you might get away with…[Read more]

I actually tried the online quote two ways–one in which I admitted occasional drives to work and to get errands, but no “timed events.” Then I tried again with “timed events” included. Same price. Upping the deductible from $250 to $500 took me from like $635 down to like $580 or so.

I’m 6’2″‘ and with seat modifications I have plenty of room.

yes. Front engine it’s common because of the small footwell. VW-based there are autosticks.

Just got an online quote from them. Very close to $600 for the car, with a $500 deductible and 3500-mile annual limit. So, again, hat’s off to you, Mr. Mossberg. Screaming deal.

dang! that is pretty mega.

That too, Paul. That too.

Well bought, those brackets.

Another abduction . . .

Pretty scary bunch, huh?;)

Those look good. They are rare & expensive, and I’ll guess they’ll finish up over $250, and I would consider anything under $300 a good deal.

My BCW has about an 1/8 to 3/16 inch fiberglass thickness throughout. It’s fairly sturdy & nicely detailed–fold down windshield, for example, and the fake TD “hood latches” down low without visible latches high on the hood. It’s about 3-inches longer than a TD, but it lacks the engine room that most other kits have.

For example, in the classifieds there is an unbuilt Duchess and 95% Fiber Fab. Same price. Kit, I can do it my way, but how do I know what is the right way? Most all of you have done modifications or tweaks or changed after the build.The modifications and tweaks are to personalize and/or custom fit the vehicle in ways that please us, the owners.…[Read more]

That’s like asking which is better…”Blonde or Brunette” ?

Well, there’s no getting away from that “ClatterJet” sound. I’ll grant that.

Like I said, the guy who put mine together in ’82 had driven it since ’66, about 10 of those years on a 30-minute commute. Said he did maybe 120k on it, then put in new bearings (no stinking line bore), new jugs kit & it ran it in various other projects for another many years–he figures another 80,000. Refreshed again for the TD and did 30 k…[Read more]
