This car is beautiful kwiseman! BEAUTIFUL!
Question, how sturdy is the fold down luggage rack? I’ve thought about buyign one for my Duchess. But I’m concerned about bolting it through the fiberglass engine cover.

I second Mark’s well wishes for anyone who may have been in harm’s way this weekend.
I know. We may be spoiling NJ’s reputation for uncaring, heartless residents. But most of us really are good people!

Really nice work Calafer!
Like the disc brake front end too!

Since the insurance question came up again today, I checked and validated the web sites in my April 7 2009 post are still valid.

Hi Pat,Before you drive yourself crazy looking for them…the Classic Roadsters manual does not have instructions on moving the e-brake handle to an upright position.It’s a bit of a stretch, but I can reach mine easily, with the e-brake in its original position.If you choose to do so, modifying it is pretty straight forward. You cut the bracket…[Read more]

Terry,Read this thread: https://tdreplica.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=536&K W=insurance

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a front engine kit with VW wheels before.

I built my Duchess, following the manual step-by-step.
The one thing I did NOT do, was punch a time clock each time I entered my garage.For what it’s worth, the build took me about nine months, working evenings and weekends. Your mileage may (make that WILL) vary.Mark’s words of wisdom ring true for me. It’s one of my hobbies. It could have taken…[Read more]

Montie,
Is this the Wet Willy’s stuff?

Amen to that MGLondonRoadster!I never buy Coors products.

If you have gel coat on the fiberglass, Meguiars has a line of great boat care products.Start here: http://www.meguiars.com/estore/product_list.cfm?sectionname= Boat/RV%20Care%3EFlagship%20Products&sectionID=51101 Not sure about the canvas top.

Thank you Larry.
Sorry folks. I did nto mean to steal the thread. Just a little jealous of all the “driving my car stories”
Let’s give the thread back to Montie, with prayers for a successful rehab from his surgery!

You are in my prayers Montie!
The rehab IS critical. It’ll hurt like heck, but will be worth it.
I wish I could say I was driving my Duchess. But her new engine is only partially built. And the car and engine are being held hostage by a very uncooperative future ex-wife. Haven’t been able to get near the car for two months. And I am not sure she…[Read more]

Classic Roadsters and London Roadsters have that “bump out” that is over the torsion bars. It is molded into the fiberglass and is not removable.I did not realize the Daytona Migi had the bump out too.

Great Find!I see the brochure is sold. I hope you got it!Interesting….the pictures include a beautiful chassis with front and rear independent coil-over shocks suspension. But all three cars in the brochure are riding on the stock VW torsion bar front suspension.Interesting how LR guys did business too. They required the dealers to buy two…[Read more]

Boy, don’t any of you guys know what google is? This research took me all of about 30 seconds. Zenith is no longer in business.This company…http://www.wirewheelking.com/home…was founded by former employees.I know nothing about them.
