Dennis, no problem. I’d be happy to offer a bed. I’m 12 miles from Pittsburgh. Just let me know the days.Dan

The ride height is excessive. I showed the photo here at work and everyone asked if it was a 4WD conversion.

Definitely on for morning cruise and lunch Thursday.Dennis, do you need any help with accommodation?Dan

Hi Ed:I’m back from vacation that Monday so I would love to meet up at the Grand Prix. Maybe we can take both cars. (my car currently has a cracked windshield). Are you entered in anything?I’m trying to see if the British Sports car group would like me (or if they turn up their noses at replicas).Do you need accommodation while here in the Burgh?RegsDan

Thx Bill:That was sort of the way I was thinking. Do you have a picture?Dan

I’m using a hinged prop rod from first gen. Cavalier with a plastic retainer glued to hood center. Won’t drop or fall open.

Thx Dick and Paul:Looks like a simple solution (Why didn’t I think of that).I’ll give it a shoot.RegsdanPS: Now have a problem with a cracked windshield – see separate post.

Does anyone have a template for windshield glass? I think my kit is a Fiberfab and the glass seems to be almost rectangular say 13 1/4″ x 40″ with a slight curve on the bottom side making the center width about 12 1/4″.My local Safelite has had my car for 4 days and now say they can’t continue without a template as the current (cracked) glass…[Read more]

Looks like a nice example. Lots of money and/or time spent redoing the interior. Great wheels.

That’s cleaner than my kitchen, looks like.

I like the garage. SPACE

Kent has it right. It should have been “lowered” to about the stock ride height. If your trailing arms are close to level then the car is close to the stock ride height. And that’s a good thing. You take it more than an inch and a half below that and you start getting complications, starting (not ending) with a need for new shocks.

Gonna get there Wednesday 17 afternoon and head home after touring Falling Water on Friday a.m. 7/19. Thursday is booked for morning cruise and lunch, as I recall.Dan, you with us?

Dan: My wife and I are driving Bridget (the TD) to Pittsburgh for vintage grand prix week in July. I forget the days. I think we’ll only be overnight Thurs-Friday. But would love to meet up if your (and our) schedule allows. PM me if you’re interested.

Another great supplier is MG Magic, they have most parts and now have a website. Ordered wing mirrors a few months back (came with gaskets).

Just joined as I bought my TD a few months ago. I live nr Pittsburgh and would love to see other TD replica drivers. So what & where is the Pumpkin run?ThxDan

Mmm. Savin’ a lot of weight there by omitting the doors…

OK, Dennis. x2 on the camber compensator. Swing axle cars don’t handle as well as IRS ones do out of the box, but a lot of Speedster guys have made them into little monsters with the addition of the compensator in the back and a larger (3/4-inch) sway bar in front.

Welcome, Eddy.

My seat base now rests on a 2″ piece of angle instead of the 6″ fiberglass box. The windshield header was directly in my line of vision and I felt like Dino Flintstone when the top was up. The seating position is now quite comfortable. Also, consider changing the position of the seat back.
