I’d think about maybe purring a collapse cage above that first U-joint. Jes sayin’.
Hey and on another subject: I’ve always liked those Demotivational posters and for two years wanted to make one with the TD and the dog. So today my wife and I dragged Fritz down to the marina and we finally did it.The over caption:Speed: not always an a… -

You may have a bracket from a real TD which is tubular and hollow.

I got 3 estimates here in little New Bern, NC. And there were a few shops I didn’t go to. Expensive though.

Man, that is crazed. Lotta Eastern top shops will sew canvas. I can’t believe a boat-oriented shop would not take the job.
I like the original 2-bow top the best for looks but have not got ’round to installing mine on Bridget yet for a few reasons:1. The length and width of the tub seems to be different enough that I will have to cut and weld the… -

One of the Speedster guys drives his all winter. He wears welding gauntlets, I think over thinner driving type gloves. Works for him.

This past summer, Happy Jack wanted to buy a tonneau. My tonneau is good and we tested my tonneau (from my Daytona) on his Fiberfab and his BCW. All three cars were different dimensions – but you’d need a tape to tell.Not even close! The buckets on these three cars is quite different in size. Unfortunately, we did not measure, but just test…[Read more]

No photo proof, but I had mine out Saturday. No running boards or rear cover but it was a beautiful day.

L brackets with studs that stick up so I can put the floor on them, the studs fit through holes in the plywood floor, and then washers and nuts go on the studs so it all stays put.
The brackets–OEM BCW parts, I believe–are riveted to the fiberglass battery box and were also bolted to the front insides of the lower bonnet pieces. When I re-did… -

Karen and my wife met a couple of Carlisles ago. Julie said that Karen could be a good friend except for the distance. Attached is one of my presents:

Vincenc, when did you live in New Bern? I’m an upstate New Yorker who had had enough hard winters (and traffic and taxes). I tried but couldn’t tolerate the Florida heat.New Bern is a great little city of 30,000. Every few years we get a snow that lasts for a few days – just right. I do miss the northern twisty roads and long vistas of the…[Read more]

How is the angle of the windshield? The bottom of the windshield frame post on mine uses two bolts to secure it to the body. Slot the body for the bottom bolt to adjust the angle. A small adjustment at the bottom will make a large difference to the position of the windshield frame top. You can easily pick up your 1-1/2″.
