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.

YES! That looks sweet and your having it sorted is excellent.

Please come up to Carlisle! I do plan to debut this build there and, as it happens, I’m also (sort of) in charge of this year’s “Speedsters Meet Spyders And TDrs” festivities. It’s shaping up to be quite a scene, and I am very much pulling to get a Full Compliment of my TD Replica brethren on the field.

Here’s hoping it doesn’t rain all day every…[Read more]

Update on the Spyder.

Cleaning up for paint

As long as the Mini didn’t float away on its roof.

Thanks for checking in, guys.

HEEEY! Congratulations, brother!

That looks strong enough.

The truck fender is fiberglass?! How about that!

Progress is made one trouble at a time.

Dammit, man! What rotten luck.

Glad everyone came out of it unharmed even if the vehicles didn’t.

I’ll be looking for another grill shell for you.

Sorry for your troubles.

A good showing then, overall.

I’ve got to naysay, Noel.

Nothing any of us drive would even remotely fill your bill of particulars.

Whether Chevy, Ford or VW-based, if you own a TD kit car now, you HAVE to tinker with it to keep it going. Most of us like it that way but it’s not everyone’s cuppa. If you can’t do basic maintenance and mechanical trouble-shooting you’re just…[Read more]

Bill should just hang an IV bag from the roll cage.

I bought these fold-up jobbies for Bridget. They’re screwed into the side of the tunnel (my side only now, since the passenger side now has fuel lines running there). Folded up it’s invisible against the black carpet. Folded down it works fine and keeps my drink easily reachable, if not as…[Read more]

Nice, man. Good luck tomorrow.
