If it looks at all like mine…it probably was.

Piano hinge ought to let it open way more than 18 inches, Kent. I wonder how the PO got it so wrong.

Looking at my wiring you’d swear liquor was the cause of it!

It’s all the little stuff that keeps the liquor stores in business.

Dude, that looks like crap. You can’t come to the show.Wait! What the . . . Is your car parked on Berber carpet?OK. You can come if you bring the carpet for our tent.;)

Amazing garage, Paul. Love the Plymouth too. I would have been a Mopar guy if, when I was 16, I’d have been able to buy a ’68 Road Runner 383 before the Nova came along. 

Trial fit of the redesigned fenders and running boards today.Left side fit seems ok. Front grille fit rather iffy. Once the right side gets mounted I’ll be able to shift things around. Hood closure is off as a result.. I used painters tape on the flanges to minimize scratching during this process. When they come off for paint the reinstallation…[Read more]

All the alignment specs are adjusted at the upper arm mounting point. That strut is just meant to keep the lower arm from folding back on harsh roads.

You can also purchase arms that do not require the strut.

Paul, I was referring to my windshield being installed.

How about something like this?http://thmotorsports.com/i-394780.aspx?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=394780NOFITMENT&utm_campaign=GoogleShoppingSeanNOFITMENT&adtype=pla&kw=&gclid=COuGyNrH6bYCFYef4AodRBwAAQ

Roy. Two things, one easy, and the other even easier.Easy: what you want isn’t a shift light, it’s a rev limiter. Buy it. Install it. Be happy.Easier: As racers have done for decades, loosen the bracket and rotate the tach so that your required rev limit–5000, say–is at 12 o’clock. Then watch it while you’re driving. That is what it is there for.

The motor parts are good. Just the air cleaner parts alone are worthy–often lost and sought after by restorers. The windshield, the dash center cluster. The differential, transmission, stearing…. The hood panels are needed by many restorers to correct crash damage or POs with enthusiasm–but not skill–for customization.Even the steering wheel…[Read more]

Go, Steve, Go.I’m looking about for a low miles donor–less than 100k and something between 1990 and 1996. The later ones will have a valve-piston clash if the cam belt breaks and are said to be “a little trickier in the electronics department.”The guy to find on the speedsterowners site is David Stroud. He popped an EJ22 into his Speedster last…[Read more]

Smile away !

Did anyone else notice that the seller has the car listed as FWD?

Ed, looks like Steve is gonna beat you to it.

Sounds  like a great idea – looking forward to your write up.

Roy is right. But I have had good luck bidding late on Ebay. 

Put in my highest price and let it ride – was outbid by a couple of bucks.
