Could Ed’s rates reflect the fact that he “won” the 2013 Carlisle TDr autocross and Paul didn’t even enter?  Hmmm…;)

I’m 6’2″‘ and with seat modifications I have plenty of room.

yes. Front engine it’s common because of the small footwell. VW-based there are autosticks.

People who talk about how time consuming the restaurant business is, have never owned a B&B.  It was great for a few years, but B&B’s are not large enough to support a manager.  Julie & I did the whole thing.  Soup to nuts to toilets and linens.  Electricity, heat, A/C, the whole ball of wax.  I even played piano and organ for guests in the even…[Read more]

Just got an online quote from them. Very close to $600 for the car, with a $500 deductible and 3500-mile annual limit. So, again, hat’s off to you, Mr. Mossberg. Screaming deal.

Greg, you may be thinking of my wife and I.  Julie and I owned and operated a large B&B in NY for almost 20 years, and we live in the south now.  

Why not make one.  Get a 1″+/- piece of stock, drill and tap it??  

dang! that is pretty mega.

That too, Paul. That too.

Well bought, those brackets.

Another abduction . . .

Pretty scary bunch, huh?;)

Allen, I have been wanting a banjo steering wheel since I put real wire wheels on.  Today I got to test fit a Flat 4 banjo that Jack bought for his.  What really got me interested was Oak Island John’s Flat 4 wheel, which I had only seen in the gallery.  It is a bit larger than I thought and at $350+/-, I really can’t afford it either.  I take som…[Read more]

Those look good. They are rare & expensive, and I’ll guess they’ll finish up over $250, and I would consider anything under $300 a good deal.

Welcome.

Welcome, Mike. 

Eddy–and all–I stepped in and edited your posts to make your links live. You see they show up blue now? That means anyone can just click on them to go to that web site.

My BCW has about an 1/8 to 3/16 inch fiberglass thickness throughout. It’s fairly sturdy & nicely detailed–fold down windshield, for example, and the fake TD “hood latches” down low without visible latches high on the hood. It’s about 3-inches longer than a TD, but it lacks the engine room that most other kits have.

For example, in the classifieds there is an unbuilt Duchess and 95% Fiber Fab. Same price. Kit, I can do it my way, but how do I know what is the right way? Most all of you have done modifications or tweaks or changed after the build.The modifications and tweaks are to personalize and/or custom fit the vehicle in ways that please us, the owners.…[Read more]

If you can afford a ’66 Vette, do it.  A father is one who keeps photos where his money used to be. We’ll talk to you on the TD site when she gets a bit older.  Good luck there.
