From what I learned during my donor car search, the Fiero and the Chevette shared from suspension parts, but the Fiero was wider. I sincerely doubt that the Chevette rear can stand up to a Chevy 350.

Love the rake….

Before I built, I looked into several different approaches of engine, transmission and rear end. the hardest part was to find a rear narrow enough (without putting out a pile of money to narrow one). Possible approaches were MGB, Pinto/Mustang II, Chevy S10 V6, a 3.0 boat engine, and the 6cyl that used to be in Post Office Jeeps. I also looked…[Read more]

I went through something very similar with a Chevette based kit that I turned into a Mustang II V-6 based car. Suggest you read my entire build thread. It’s under My Projects, Building Alfred.Good luck.

Bill: Is that picture of your feet sticking out from under your car at VA beach part of the doc set?

That’s quite a smile you’re sporting, Paul…..

First thing you should do is take some pictures and post them here. We will all look at them and you will get a lot of experience based comments.  You can attach pictures using the little tree symbol when you post your message. Looking forward to meeting you.Gabor also know as Gabe….

If I had to mount a pickup bed I think that the short and narrow Ford Model T pickup bed style would work with the lines of an MG TD.

A little math: The ad says that the interior took 500 hours of custom work. 500 hours times $75 (a reasonable price for interior work) is $37,500. Even at only $50 per it’s $25,000 just for the interior. The interior looks really good, but not $25,000 to $37,500 good.

I will be there with Alfred Friday through Sunday.I won’t know if my wife Nita will be there until then.

Don’t hesitate to ask anything….I usually check in every day (except for the last week, went skiing).

I used the Jeg’s 28000 BTU model. Same price. It works great, mounting was not bad. Comes with all controls. Instead of hoses, I mounted a heater grill from Lowe’s in front of it. It will keep you warm with top down.

I have never had any luck getting sanding lines of less than 1500 out by compounding. Actually I recommend finishing with 2000, or even better 3000 before compounding. I use 1000 or less only when there is a run or a blemish. Whenever sanding with a lower grit, always go through he intermediate grits before ending up with your final one.

Just to make you guys a little jealous, here’s a pair of Christmas goodies all the way from England. It helps to have a daughter that lives in London.

My Chrysler Crossfire had no spare from the factory. It came with a can of Fix-a-flat and a small compressor. No spare is not too unusual now.

Merry Christmas to all my new friends. You guys make me feel like we’ve known each other for years….

If there is no convenient place to hang the disconnected driveshaft, many people carry a spare front yoke to seal the trannie and remove the driveshaft completely.

24″ diameter tires, whether using 13, 14, 15 or in my case 16″ wheels.

Bare LEDs need resistors but packaged LED bulbs generally have built in resistors, but you will need an electronic flasher instead of the heat driven one you now have.
