Steve, Looks good to me and far from just a beginning. Give yourself some credit for getting this far along. We are glad to have you here.

 Allen, Check the photo gallery. Look at c6810, suntansailor,and jeniken’s pictures to see different views,some with the driver’s side open and some fully covered.

 Hi Shane, Welcome to the forum.
 Sometimes it seems that life’s circumstances cause two people’s paths to intersect  for reasons which we do understand ,but often it leads to someone’s dreams being carried forward even after their life here is over.Seems to be your priviledge to fullfill your friend’s dream.These cars are lots of fun under or…[Read more]

 Perhaps I misunderstood, but I think Luvmytd was referring to swapping the tonneau cover for the top. That was his winterization  process. Seems like I remember him driving it during his winter vacations before he retired.
 Happy Thanksgiving to all.

 Hi Don, Welcome to the forum.Glad to hear of the progress you’re making on your car.We look forward to hearing your stories and seeing pictures. This forum is all about sharing our successes and yes our failures as well.

 GOOD  LOOKING Duchess..   It reminds me of Paul Mossbergs.   Nice to see the smiles on your wife and daughter’s faces. Lots of fun ahead!

 Hi Craigo, Welcome to the forum.Glad you have been able to find answers here.
The Duchess is a great TD replica. Looking forward to seeing pictures of your’s.
 I searched Classic Instruments on the net and found some close to Ringo’s but as old as these cars are ,it may be hard to find an exact match.You never know,some one just may have one t…[Read more]

 Ringo, Great news!!! My compressor is a 30 year old  thats  knocking  so bad it scares the dog  when it starts up. Sounds like you must have been a good boy for Santa to have come early.

 Bill, use the search button at the top ,type in rear springs and look at Hawk521’s post about Chevette springs. Good info on this subject.

 Hi, Quite a project you’ve got there.
 It might be helpful to give your location. Just the general area would be OK. The prospective buyer would have a better idea of the cost and effort required to get it home.
Also ,I did not see the doors on the list or in the pictures.Did I overlook them or are they missing?
You did a good job with the p…[Read more]

 Rollie, Thanks for the info. That’s a good looking TD replica.You’ve got it dressed to go out on the town.

 Rollie, Thanks for letting us know about a good product that produces good results.I had used their cleaner but will try the Ultimate Compound also.I remember that Paul recommends their products as well. I looked in your photo gallery and if it improved on the shine you had already, it must be really good.
 On my London Roadster,the yellow g…[Read more]

 Wow!!!! You are getting off to quite a start. It’s easy to see that you don’t give up easily. Things have got to get better soon. It’s amazing what can be done with common sense and the bare minimum of stuff to work with.

 Bill, My Chevette based BCW uses a L shaped lower hose. It does not have any of the air stuff so I do not have to go arround it.Really does simplify things in an already crowded engine compartment.

 Bill, Glad you finally got it done. I know it’s been a mess but you hung in there and did it the right way.Hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine!!

 Mark, Thanks for the pat on the back. She really is the nicest ride I have ever owned. I am trying hard to give her the respect she deserves.
 James, You could not have said it better.She is a great little car.

 Allen, You may already know that the MG’s did not have defrosters. I suspect that the kit manufacturers included the defroster [actually defogger in this case] to comply with state requirements. My London Roadster factory built car has a 3in.vent in the center of the dash . It looks UGLY and serves no purpose since they mounted the blower with…[Read more]

 Allen, Thanks for the info,I was abuot to guess that it was a dashboard for a dune buggy.

 Hi Gang, I attach my side curtains using a snap on each top bow just under the edge of the top.Between the front bow and the windshield, I use velcro.The front edge of the curtain is held against the windshield frame by two short straps that slip in between the windshield frame and the wind wing.I replaced the knurled nut on the lower windwing…[Read more]

 Denora, Click on the search button at the top and type in Chevette drive shaft and you will see some discussion about the problem you describe.
 Do you know if the drive shaft has been balanced? Is the rear u-joint centered properly in the rear end? Are both U-joints free of tight spots[not binding] and not sloppy fitting?
Check for excessive p…[Read more]
