One of the nicest I have ever seen.

Depends on how you route it, I’d think. Why not mock it up with a length of clothesline or anchor rope first?

Vicenc: I’m sure Tim Miller (KDI) would love your business. You’d have to leave the car with him though, pretty sure. Tell him I said hi if/when you call him.

He was working out of his parents’ garage when I contracted him. The door panels were an easy thing, since I had already cut the backers & had clear pictures of what I wanted the finished…[Read more]

Dan! Good to hear from you!

Beautiful. Way to go, daddy-o.

Yes, the boards are cut for the pockets. The exact construction is a mystery to me, since i paid a pro to do it. The vinyl is marine grade. I copied the Moss replacements for the original vehicles.

I used the hardboard type stuff they make pegboard out of. No holes, solid, about an eighth inch or maybe 3/16 thick. I could not make my own door cards because the pockets required a pro.

Well, OK then. Small price to pay. Congrats!

I might could do an August run. Actually any of those other dates would probably work for me. But don’t halt the Labor Day cruise if I’m the only no-show.

Dang: Labor Day weekend is the Lime Rock Vintage Grand Prix. Got tickets to that already. Was hoping for some TDr company in CT–or on the ride up?

It was definitely a golden age, I think.

I have yet to pull Bridget’s body off the pan. The repair she needed didn’t require it–it was the pan part just behind the front beam. I bought the part, ground off the old one, made some bracing with angle stock for the other nearby rusty parts, bolted the panel in and drove the car to the muffler place. Then I asked nicely if they could do it…[Read more]

Man, imagine buying one of those 32 original Ferrari 250 GTOs in 1984 for the whopping total of “up to $85,000.”

That was like four new Corvettes then! Crazytown!

Thanks for that, Vicenc

drill a small hole in the side of the filler neck just under the cap. Make the hole about the diameter of this. Which you buy. JB weld it in. (Or use this stuff, fuel-safe). Wait a day or so for the the epoxy to set up.

Run the tube up a little above the cap’s level, then down in front of the tank, to just above the little hole in the floor pan…[Read more]

emailed you a phone number for Bill in Pittsburgh.

For welding floor patches I’ve had good luck with my muffler shop. They weld that gauge all day and seem to like a change of pace.
