I LOVE it! I think I’m going to steal your idea! 💡 I promise to give you the credit if anyone asks. Thanks!

I’m sure they are not ALL exactly same, but, my tonneau cover works is the convertible top,(bows and all) must be taken off and the tonneau goes from the boot to dash. It covers the cockpit area only. It is a taut fit, but not straining the stitching. Yours may be so old the material has lost it’s stretch. The vinyl, being an oil based material,…[Read more]

Congrats on your new toy. Looks like a fun winter project.  Any idea about what color you’re going to paint it? Keep sending us pics as you progress.

WOW! That must be some kind of sales speed record! Congrats to both parties. Hopefully  the buyer is already a member and will post progress pics of the build.

The speed of the sale sort of reminds me of when I purchased my London Roadster. It was posted on eBay for only 9 hours before I saw it and had to have it . I guess if it’s what your…[Read more]

I really enjoy perusing this site. You can search for any movie or TV show and find what the cars shown were. Good for old movies.I like finding the car type, then finding the current market value. Look up the original”Italian Job”, for a real SHOCK! Over $2,000,000 in cars are destroyed! 😯

Very nice woodworking. I think,”As much wood as possible.” I made a wood shift lever knob similar to yours, but just haven’t gotten around to putting it on. I guess I think it turned out so well, I’m afraid it’ll break!

WOOD IS GOOD!

Ok a little late on this one, my spare tire mounts to a piece of metal that is bolted through the body and into two pieces of pipe that are mounted at the bottom , that allows me to open the back up by pulling two pins in the hinges on each side at the top .

Ok here is a picture of the shaft without the knob.

here is the handle i made for it.

here is picture of it together.

 here is a picture of the shifter .maybe?

The gear shift knob is held on by some splines it takes a little force but it will come off . I removed mine and made a wooden handle for it, and the emergency brake ,turn signal .

on the neutral safety switch i would check that first.

Two BIG thumbs up for your outside the box thinking! 💡  💡  Your repairs are very nice and I doubt anyone could see the patch.I know I can’t.

It seems like 99% of the fixes for our cars is sort of “seat of the pants” type. Kind of ,”This just might WORK!” then it DOES! That’s why I keep a big pile of scrap metal around.
