ricrx7 started the topic Steering Vague in the forum Chevy/Ford Kits 7 years, 12 months ago
Above 50 mph my Chevette powered BCW get a little vague. I feel like it might veer left or right. 60 is as fast as I’ve dared to go. Front wheels have negative camber and without measuring, it looks like it is zero toe in. I read somewhere that switching the upper A arms from left to right will increase caster and make steering better. I was…[Read more]

Coming along nicely. Have you had a chance to copy the build manual? I would sure like a copy. And how’s the baby? Change your life?

I believe you are right. The Buick is about the same width. My problem- issue- tough decision is I have to spend some pretty good money to get the parts for the Buick. And it seems that stock exhausts for the Buick will not work. So custom headers. Although I can probably modify the headers I have. Of course buying a running 4.3 V6 will c…[Read more]

Members need to know that pictures need to be in your Gallery before they can be placed in a post. Then posting a picture is basically the normal computer steps of “copy address” and “paste address.” Although the picture address needs to be copied before any text is written in a post.
Back to my modifications. Here is a picture of my front su…[Read more]

This would be a better discussion if I could post pictures.
But I cannot get “source” under the Image icon to work. Any ideas?

I had originally thought I would use a 60 degree V6, but there are many more upgrade parts for the 4.3. I would like about 200 HP. I don’t remember reading about any MGTDr on this site with a V8. Would any be BCWs?
I know I can narrow a rear end to get the Chev rims under the fenders, but the front is going to be the problem. The current rot…[Read more]

I have been planning an engine upgrade for my Chevette powered British Coach Works. Probably a GM 4.3 with 5 speed. It looks like I will have to remove the hood side panels. But I would like to keep the top part that has the hood latch. It there any possibility of finding a set of side panels? They may be the same for front engine or VW powe…[Read more]

Welcome to Florida. You should be happy here. Although the Ft Lauderdale area is rather busy. If you get near Orlando/Cocoa Beach, please let me know. I am in Merritt Island.

I moved from Maryland to Florida. I knew it was a good move, now I know it was a great move. The County does not even have annual inspections. Florida does have a one time road use tax of $200 or $250, but it is waived for 30 year old cars. It is sort of funny to have a “replica” that is now considered an antique. Does that mean it start…[Read more]
