What kind of chassis is it?

Seen those snaps before, and I am pretty sure I saw the car featured on a Top Gear episode a while back. (British version). The bit wasn’t about that car, but the car was used to get from place to place for the bit.

I’ll take them, please. PM’d ya.edsnova40687.8114930556

The Allison Daytona has the correct type side curtains with their own frames. Rich Wobby has a VW-powered one of these, and I think his windshield folds as well.He’s also got a totally enclosed steering shaft. On my car (a BCW VW) and some other VW kits, the shaft is routed outside the body work for a few inches down near the front fender. Dead…[Read more]

Headroom? Limitless!Seriously though, it varies quite a bit by car. The BCWs, for example, were sold with at least two different windshield heights. By adjusting the top bows (assuming you were making a new top) you could plus or minus at least two inches right over your head. These cars look a little more upright than a B, but that could be…[Read more]

Caio! Manga!

Welcome, Tinker. Don’t mind Pink’s moniker. His name is Mark and he knows what he’s doing and is not a commie, far as I can tell.

Yeah man! Let’s do it.

PS
Ed – I know you like to drive – just messing w/ you – hope to see you on a
cruise sometime this summer on the Blue ridge parkway

Ya Ed – Richard ( Crazy MG Guy – CMGG for short ) decided you were one of
those sit all day at the car show kind of guys instead of the lets go cruising
kind of guy – what happened?

Anyway – CMGG ( Richard ) took us on a couple of well paced rides through
the PA hills and we had a great time.
Sorry to miss you on your way out Sunday morning Richard.

Crikies, man! You cut half your own car out of the shot!I had the same damn problem. Too many MGs to fit in the frame. That’s a nice trouble to have.Let’s hope Bill (White MG) and Greg & Debbie (with the cream-colored one) stop by the forum.And oh, yeah, man–those Speedie guys like you! Sorry I blew off the ice cream cruise. I’ll probably never…[Read more]

Yeah, saw that after I posted, Mark. I think those little V8s are hot stuff & in my fantasy life (the life in which I actually have skills in the garage, plus time, plus money) I would build one up stout & stuff it in a Simpson re-bodied Miata Italia & put some funky early ’60s induction on top. Then I’d learn to speak Italian too and cruise it…[Read more]

Kool Kar, Harry. I like the color a lot. Good luck with the sale.

Ah! Rover motivation. That should work nice. I’ve decided I want to make one of these with an Olds Quad-4 rigged with Weber side drafts and bolted to a T-5. If I ever get it done I’ll take the front wings off & paint George Beavis Special in little cursive letters on the door. Probably never happen though. Got an up-close look at the foot well of…[Read more]

That dosen’t look like any Chevette engine I ever saw before. Sure it’s not one of them rare Corvette-based TD kits?

What I don’t get is why the bus cables are longer. The way those vehicles are laid out, with the driver basically sitting on top of the front wheel, I’d have thought they’d be, if anything, shorter.Do the buses use the driver’s front wheel to turn the speedo?

I think he means a tie plate, for joining and reinforcing dimensional lumber as used in structural framing.

Look at the names your photos are given by the photo program. Mine get something like DSCN2076.JPGthe “.JPG” is what tells all the machinery what format the photo is saved in. –JPG is JPEG.I suspect the Kodak program is saving your pictures as GIFs or something else. The way to deal with that is to open the photos and click “save as” in the menu…[Read more]

Someone recently said they used a bus cable. Apparently they’re much longer.
