Good to hear from another BCW owner, JB. You got that heap running?

Great car, great pics.

JF,
Where are you located in Northern VA? I live there as well

Good on ya, g. Where ya at?

Welcome to the site, Jfbworld.

Interesting projects for the ambitious tightwad! That Yugo interior has got to go, and with the V-dub, I didn’t see or read of any kind of grill either. buyer beware.

Grandpa,
I have one that I will part w/ – it is fiberglass and I spent lots of time making
it nice and smooth than had it painted – decided to go w/ a a spare instead.

I’d fab one up from one of those Jeep or other mini SUV tire covers–the hard shell ones are glass, I think, and might be findable in junk yards. 

Maybe an old Z car rear setup would work. Suspect it’d be about the right width.

My fiberfab has flat rods that extend the original controls farther back – can’t

Don’t listen to them, Gulzar. I bought mine a year and a half ago and hardly touched it since, except to drive.Well, I also changed the oil a couple times.And I did the brake shoes.

This is really helpful. I will attempt to retain this knowledge. Thanks.

YEAH boys! We’re on then. Three and counting. Hoping Schu can get it too. Dale, you want me to drive down your way that morning and accompany you? You want a place to crash that night after scotch or whatever?I’ll be trying to track down the guy with the white car too. I have his name somewhere; just can’t recall it.Three ain’t bad though to…[Read more]

Sorry Dale. I was thinking we had a shot at getting Mossberg to this, and maybe Mark. Also, I happen to know Stoney’s & think it’s an appropriate spot. The fish & chips there are good. The Brandywine valley has some real nice roads too. So I’m still keen to get a group there.*B: There’s no risk of diluting attendance to an event that, so far, has…[Read more]

And I thought a regular tap would rethread a pre-threaded hole without removing much or any metal. Not so?

Ed,
I might be able to do, but was hoping it would be a little more south then

Looking for an up or down vote on Sept. 24, Greg.Will try to contact the dude with the white car; he’s the other side of Baltimore. But would like to hear now if people can do that Saturday.
