The only proper way to do a shoulder strap…Just saying…

That was me, several years ago. In July I ran into Jack at the Pittsburgh Vintage GP.

Well. My info is BCW made their own body panels & stuff. I don’t know where they got their Chevettes, but a west-coast accessory company would not be the obvious source. We could call Jack Fussenegger and ask. 

None in mine. But here’s my theory–which you can check by chasing some corporate records in PA: Like BCW, American Sunroof WAS the Fussenegger’s company & the factories were tied together.

Before you replace the alternator, check the grounds on it. With these cars–and with most old cars–electrical faults are almost always ground-related.

Very nice.

So, looking for more Elvis-TD info I come across this shot of JFK & Jackie on their honeymoon in Acapulco, Mexico, 1953.

Great picture. I had no idea The King ever appeared in a TD. Would love to know more about that.

This is probably the only place that ever existed where Elvis would get second place billing and be upstaged by a plaid tonneau.  Thanks for being here, guys. 

You did great. You could never build anything like I was suggesting for anything close to that.

If you got it as cheap as those initial bids looked, you did good. Worst case scenario: clean it up and sell it on.

Go up a bit for autoX. Like, 22 in front & 28 rear. Otherwise lower.After I bought new tires the knuckleheads at the tire shop pumped like 35 lbs in all 4 of em. Thought my teeth were gonna shake out on the ride home.

Tks Kent.  I’ve never felt comfortable with VW’s window screen filtering system and because of that  I probably only average about 400 miles on each oil change.  I’ve been putting it off because I was hoping to install a 4-1 merged header, but recently discovered that my engine cover won’t allow it. 

Kent, please tell me about your oil filter.  I’ve been considering one. 

Safety Fast.

Steve, I used the 1-1/2″ latches.   But the longer ones might work well also.

I was shocked the first time I slid behind the wheel of Bridget. It felt all wrong, the steering wheel was way, way too close to my chest. Nothing like the way I adjust every other car I’ve driven in ever.

it also holds the bushing in place. be prepared to stop & put it back in on a trip
