Where does that ‘Thing’ part fit? That’s interesting.FYI–and Paul M could confirm this–defrost in a TD can be accomplished well enough with a small blower fan and a few vents drilled in the scuttle top, just inboard of the windshield. Cabin air will do it–again, according to Paul’s reporting, which is born of many decades experience.

Dale Schumacher reportedly has registered. He’s six (though maybe in a Porsche this time?). edsnova2012-12-31 16:51:06

That’s right, Paul. It’s just the best design for the rear-engined cars. I’m thinking that if I go to a Soob mill I might need a new tank anyway to feed the FI and so, “while I’m in there…”. All very speculative of course. Probably it will never happen.

That top might stretch out if left in the sun. It is also adjustable. We can show you.

Also, Donna: don’t worry about how your car looks. Everyone is welcome and the show is non0-judged. All the serious bragging rights come on the autocross track. The cruises are slowish. 50mph would be hauling on a cruise. But your handling concerns sound familiar to me. Is your car built on a VW pan?

Donna, for accommodation info  send a private message to Paul Mossberg. Click back to page one of this thread and then click on Paul’s name next to his posting about hotel accommodations. You’ll get a drop-down menu. Click on “send private message.”

We all stay in Wobby’s camper on the grounds, Donna. It does get a little stinky in there, but nothing you can’t handle.

right. I was about to ask the same…

!

I’ve got fuel tank envy.

Man, they said these things had wood frames originally, but….:-)

Yeah man!

The way to do it is with a flatbar frame like the original TDs had. Near the front of the door, on the inside, are little clamp plates like these. Then there’s a rod that fits in a hole near the back of the door. Between the two is a flap with a snap on it. It snaps to the inner door panel. These parts are available through Moss.The top of the…[Read more]

Impressive. How did you “stretch” the running board?

Dan, that plexi idea is doable–some of the Speedster guys do it. Lotta work though.

Yeah. I’m down for Caddy Shack and all. It’s a two hour run from my house, so that means taking Thursday off–both of us. Which is why I say “I hope.” 

I have signed up to arrive Thursday with Karen. Hope I’ll be able to make good! 

Looking very good! I like the black slats too.

that is right. Roy. Pertronix now. And yeah on the exhaust leak, which I probably caused when I installed the muffler. I will check that this winter.

I heard that number 3 retard story and believed it. As I have the old single relief, case, single port heads and the old school fan shroud I’m guessing I should have that timing quirk–but don’t know if I do. I am running a vaccuum dizzy with a 34 PICT 3 carb. And it’s not quite right. Pops a little on decel during normal operation and cracks…[Read more]
