He’s had it listed a while. I feel bad for the guy. But, right. That’s maybe $1,000 if he really did do the pans and the frame and did ’em right.
Still a mighty project even then.The motor is a big ? as he says it’s got beefier bores but doesn’t say what the new displacement is–or what cam it’s got.Wish him luck, but also wish luck to the buyer,… -

Kall, what program are you using to make your gauge faces?

Sorry about making you-all “join” another website. I don’t think cafe press required same, but Shutterfly’s process is free and pretty quick, not much different than any other on-line registration.
I’d say “nothin’s easy” but, really: 30 years ago what we’re doing now with this calendar project would be mostly impossible. Imagine mailing the pics… -

Bottom line: try not to worry too much.
My experience with a somewhat rusty pan is that the doors more or less fit OK. The passenger side is a bit “sticky” if left unused for a time.The torsion housings are as follows: Front: the two big (2 1/4 inch? diameter) tubes, one atop the other, separated by a few inches of space, which run crosswise behind… -

Whelp, Shutterfly chewed on the pictures for 4 hours and then froze. So I will rebuild the calendar & try again.

edward ericson replied to the topic Profile drawing in the forum VW Based Kits 10 years, 4 months ago
I think the center of gravity on these cars is well below the tops of the tires (2 feet off the ground). Probably more like 14-15 inches in a VW-based car. It does make for a naturally good chassis design and its why you can keep up with pretty much all the LBCs of the 1950s and ’60s pretty easily.
They do lose traction though: VW-based TDs tend to… -

OK so my usual Cafe Press system seems to be shut down. I can’t find a spot on their web site where you can make a calendar with more than one page of pictures. I’ve got it uploading to Shutterfly now and will let everyone know how to order.
They’re asking $25 a pop plus, I’m sure, shipping. I feel like these ought to be cheaper but it is what it is. - Load More
