Here’s a copy of Ed’s instructions concerning posting of photos. Too many steps, but that’s what it takes.

“First you go to your own thing. Upper right corner it should say something like “Howdy, Happy Jack.” Click on that and you get a drop-down menu. At the bottom it says “media.” Hover over that with your curser and you should see another drop…[Read more]

Ha! You appeared a bit exited uncrating her. I hope you have a lot of fun years with it.

A few years ago a fellow from Nova Scotia drove his TF replica down for the Spring show in Carlisle, PA.  Any chance of seeing it there?

Why does it seem there is never enough room or time?

Good Luck.

Not familiar with the Chevette rear suspension. If it uses leaf springs, then you should be able to swap anything that will physically fit. If the spring perches and overall width is compatible, go for it. Try to stay with comparable bolt pattern with the wheels. Get a rear with disc brakes if you can.

Seller petitions for the title, with you and your lawyer’s help. You pay any court/legal costs.

Profits.

If the squirters don’t deploy with the flashing lights it’s not a proper clown car!

Congrats, Paul. So now what are you bringing to Carlisle?

What a terrible problem!

Best to get a bill of sale from the seller and work from there. In most states you can get a title–eventually–but it might be a slog if you don’t have a manufacturers certificate of origin or a pretty complete list of donor parts and prices paid.

One way I’ve seen people move this issue, if the Dept. of Motor Vehicles…[Read more]

It would. And it would fit my budget if I sold the Spyder.

Bump.
