Unfortunate but I guess the sign of the times – looking forward to VA Beach even more – hope that works out.

Can’t say I didn’t see this coming. Maybe things will improve enough to enjoy VA Beach this fall.

Carlisle 2020 Cancellation… A

fter holding out as long as possible for Covid – 19 situation to improve and after much sole searching, both Alan Merklin and I have decided that in the best interest of health and safety to cancel our Carlisle 2020 event. This was very difficult decision. We are sure that this is disappointing to all of our TDr…[Read more]

Eric,

Welcome – I think I saw you over in the Speedster site? Anyway welcome to the dark side 🙂

I have a Speedster ( in process for to many years now ) and my finished MG TD – see you at Carlisle.

Hi Eric:

Great to have another in Pittsburgh.

Bill (Crash55) has talked me into Carlisle this year so I’ll be taking Annie for the drive. Would be great to meet up with you and your MG at sometime (I’m in Sewickley).

Looks great!

Ryan,

My grill is a cut down original TD grill. They come up on ebay and other places from time to time but expensive. Most original ones are 600.00 to 1000.00 in good shape. At Carlisle two years ago a guy was trying to sell one in decent shape for around 400.00. Bill almost bought it to replace the one he dented in on of his crashes but I think…[Read more]

Very cool, Ed. Looks like it tracks straight, stops straight, sounds good. Sweet!

I posted a short test-drive vid yesterday.

I am sure it would – maybe 3/4″ square aluminum – light and rigid. Can buy at Lowes or Home Depot in the hardware dept.

Bar stock might flex down ( sag ) a bit – not rigid like square or triangle stock in my opinion.

Ryan,

I think Crash is like me and a bit handicapped when it comes to posting pics – I never could get it to work.

SWEET!  Looking forward to seeing it up close and personal.

Looks like Ed’s car in green to me. Love the ride height and never thought I would like green but looks great on that car.

Congrats Crash – looking forward to the story but want to see it run/drive. I drive the last hour or so to the hotel in PA on the back roads ( forget that crazy 81) – hope to meet you on the road. See you at Carlisle

I installed two oak 1×1’s full length on either side of the center and used fiberglass mat and epoxied them to the bottom of the hood on mine many years ago. Really helped stiffen up the hood and still doing great.

You’re right, re the paint. The more care you take the better it’ll end up looking.

Regarding the hood reinforcement, it depends on the hood. Some of them are a bit floppy, with no reinforcement. Some are floppy with wood spars glassed in underneath. Mine is a little floppy with a metal trim piece bolted through the middle, and some thin metal…[Read more]
