edward ericson replied to the topic Parts interchangeability ? in the forum General Discussion 1 month, 1 week ago
Caveat: this interchangeability is between Ford and VW of the same brand kit. So Fiberfab to Fiberfab, Dutchess to Dutchess and Allison to Allison. If you have a MiGi VW and buy a British Coach Works or other brand dashboard it won’t fit.

Yeah Gregg. The TD Group attached itself to the Speedster Owners Club some years ago and those guys blew the Carlisle event out to as early as Wednesday with countryside drives and other field trips and a banquet at the end.
At its peak there were about 100 people at the banquet and awards ceremony, but the past few years have been much…[Read more]

Hey guys I just signed up. Remember to do it before Jan 3 to get $9 off the $45 weekend pass. Go here to do likewise if you’re into it.
The hotel is the same again this year–Courtyard by Marriott.
You can reserve your room by emailing MarriottResLink@marriott.com. If that proves glitchy you can call the hotel and tell them you’re with the…[Read more]

Looks like a Classic Motor Carriages or Fiberfab. It’s not a MiGi, Allison, Classic Roadsters Grand Duchess or BCW.
Looks like a nice viable car.

Good on you, Dereck.
I have a rear-engined BCW and they’re a lot of fun to tool around in, and a really good base for making a passably realistic looking TD replica.

That’s looking great Bill.
@dennis-p point of clarification: Bill’s is a GT style wheel. “Banjo” wheels have wire spokes that look a bit like banjo strings. Like mine (above) and:
…which is also mine…
Which means I guess I have duelin’ banjos.

edward ericson replied to the topic Values of MGTD Replica's Today? in the forum General Discussion 6 months, 3 weeks ago
For insurance purposes just get an “agreed value” policy and never think of it again. $10-$15k will more than cover the replacement cost and no insurance agent will blink. Just remember to get plenty of liability in case someone gets hurt. Insurance companies don’t sweat the value of the vehicle, it’s the medical bills they seek to avoid.

Short grill was a MiGi feature but I don’t know if they were molded in like that.
Fog lights are always optional. TD bumpers can also be had.

Those Opel gauges look about right, size-wise.
Love the vinyl cover. That’s how they came stock and it’s a rare look these days.

edward ericson replied to the topic Real TD dash in a replica ? in the forum VW Based Kits 6 months, 3 weeks ago
The replica dashes are all a bit different from the originals, mostly around the steering shaft relief, and also in the gauge holes.
I bought a used real dash for the brass/chrome beads and the door hardware and then replicated it from marine plywood and bits of nice mahogany and maple.
Documented the project here, here, here, here, here, here…[Read more]
