Welcome aboard Fred!

Hope you don’t mind, I deleted the duplicate post.

The FiberFab VW based Migi II manuals posted here should get you off to a good start. Click the Download Manuals link in the left sidebar.

My Duchess uses reproduction TD parts.

You posted info about the Moss Motors retailer. Doesn’t he have them?

Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Duchess VW (??) on eBay in the forum Running MGTD Kits Cars for Sale 12 years, 3 months ago

I agree it may not be FiberFab, despite what the ad says. But I’m sticking to my guns that it is not a Classic Roadsters Duchess.

The area around the taillights is not from Classic Roadsters. The Duchess had a molded area for early style VW taillights that are actually on this car. But the car is molded for later style “flat bottom/oversize” li…

Like the ad says…FiberFab, not a Classic Roadsters Duchess.The car looks pretty solid. I don’t like the side curtains either but…if you admire function over form, they do allow the door to open with the side curtains attached. THAT is a nice feature.

How did you get those two-cans to paint your wheels? I can never get them to do a darn thing!

Sorry Roy. At the moment, I am flying solo…through life…and Carlisle!

But remember, it’s not just the few TDs. The Speedster group is over fifty cars. There will be plenty of wives & girlfriends.

It folds up. Holds up to 200 pounds.

Obviously not an option if you are also looki…

Paul Mossberg replied to the topic NJ Fiberfab MGTD for Sale in the forum Running MGTD Kits Cars for Sale 12 years, 3 months ago

I haven’t seen the car before. And don’t recognize the owner’s name as being part of the old NJ Replicar Club.

But that looks like a pretty solid car.

My, how quickly we forget about Rocky’s build!
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Running Progress Report in the forum My Project 12 years, 3 months ago

Everything I photographed is probably also in the Classic Roadsters assembly manual.

But when I get around to it, I’ll start scanning. Remember, 1982 pics are way before digital.
Paul Mossberg replied to the topic Running Progress Report in the forum My Project 12 years, 3 months ago

Congratulations Rocky!Now it’s drivin’ time!I think I’ll pull out my build pictures (from 1982!) and post them here over the next nine months! Like reliving the build!

If you want to check the tire codes to see when they were manufactured:http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/how-to-read-a-tire-sidewall-featureItem 14 is the DOT number, which includes week and year of manufacture.General guide is if they are older than five years, it’s time to replace them
