Hope it’s a good move, Vicenc. I lived in Florida for 5 years in the 1990s. It has its charms.

Update on my fender-stretching project. It seems to be coming along. Doing the wiper plinths on the scuttle while I’m at it.

Good luck, Allen.
Just to be clear then, you, also, do not have an “Add Media” button—correct?

Hey Paul. Sorry if it seems I’m being obstinate or imprecise.
The screen I have has no “Add Media” button. It looks like this:

Up there where it says “Howdy, edsnova” I can get a drop-down menu, the bottom selection of which is “Media.” That is the thing which if I click it I go to the library and can upload media and copy the “address” and…[Read more]

As you all may have noticed, no photo appeared in my “test” post. That is because Paul’s instructions, when applied to my computer, are bunkum.
Can any of you follow these instructions with success? If so, please chime in.
In my case, there simply is no “right”–as in “select a photo by clicking once, that will make it appear on the right.” If I…[Read more]

Test.
Hey, errbody! I am going to try a new way to insert a photograph in this thread, by following, to the letter, instructions from Paul. Those instructions are as follows:
‘You do NOT have to go back to the “insert/edit image”
‘On the same screen where you uploaded to your heart’s content, select a photo by clicking once, that will make it…[Read more]

I hear tell polyester fiberglass shrinks if it isn’t cured long enough. I want a nice long interval between the main layup and the final paint.
Yeah those are new MWS Triumph TR3 wheels and hubs. They are tubeless. They have held air for 8 months now so I guess that’ll do it. Probably will buy a couple tubes anyway & keep in the car, just in case.

Roy:
Plan is as follows:
- alumitape underneath
- glass from top, 2 or 3 or 4 layers.
- remove screws and tape (leave the steel inserts and glass them in).
- glass from bottom, 3 layers.
- rough shape top with 80 grit.
- glass from top, 1 layer.
- allow to cure 6 weeks
- fill holes, low spots from top with glass filler such as Fibral.

Spent a couple hours in a cloud of fiberglass dust today. Cut the other three fenders and got most of the steel stand-offs installed. Test-mounted the wires again for fit. They just about do.




Now it’s down to glass. Hoping to have some warm days before the cold sets in. I’d like to get them glassed up, ground back and cured for a few…[Read more]
