@copterpilot Lee Believe it or not you have 3 TD members just south of you in the Stafford area – Rick – building his car now (just spent an hour with him last weekend checking out his cool rides and garage), Dean – just south of me with a running and driving example and myself with a car I restored about 12 years ago. Looks like we have a […] View

PaulI remember you telling that story.My kind of guys – sorry they are gone – would have loved to gear their stories. The cool thing is they did it!
Dale Schumacher replied to the topic Receiver hitch for mgtd r in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 8 months ago

Lois either

Might be a Dude thing to do
Dale Schumacher replied to the topic Receiver hitch for mgtd r in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 8 months ago

How about pulling a teardrop mini camper across the country on the back roads.

On my bucket list.

With a ton of work it sounds like – but looks great
Dale Schumacher replied to the topic 2016 Calendar in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 9 months ago

Thanks for your efforts Ed.

I guess I don’t need to take pictures to get in a calendar.
Dale Schumacher replied to the topic Door Alignment – Chassis Flex (?) in the forum General Discussion 9 years, 9 months ago

John,

First of all the Speedster uses a shortened pan while ours use the full original pan. In addition if you look underneath you will see that the fiberglass fits to the original pan to add strength.

I understand that sometimes the doors do get out of alignment but if you use the rear torsion bars to jack the rear and the front beam for the…

Sorry Ed – never take any pictures – I guess I need to start

Makes me want to get the car on the road – very cold this morning
Dale Schumacher replied to the topic Luggage Rack Wanted in the forum VW Parts Wanted 9 years, 10 months ago

Steve

You can also build your own out of Oak/Mahogany/cherry etc. to match your dash. I think I have pictures on here someplace of my folding luggage rack that mounts to the rear spare tire lug bolts and is removable in 3 minutes or less. I can send you pictures if you PM me your email or cell number.
Dale Schumacher replied to the topic MGTD Ute in the forum VW Based Kits 9 years, 10 months ago

Please do – I am interested – love to build one with a Honda or anything else for that matter.

I do plan to downsize the house and upsize the garage one of these days soon when I move farther south.

Not sure my wife agrees but I just keep saying it so hopefully it sinks in as inevitable.

Then on to more of the projects like yours.
Dale Schumacher replied to the topic MGTD VW Towbar in the forum VW Parts Wanted 9 years, 10 months ago

Great deal Bill – someone should jump on that.

I already have one but if I was close to NJ I would jump on it.

Hope you are doing well Bill.

How many of the TD Replica badges do you have left at this point?

Everyone without one to this point needs to contract Bill and get one before they are gone.
Dale Schumacher replied to the topic VA Beach 2015 in the forum Clubs and Show 9 years, 10 months ago

To be fair Ed is a pretty laid back guy but traffic will get the best of you if you let it – ask me how I know – drive in the DC I95 traffic every day.

Bottom line – I had a blast and although I love cruising by myself just fine it is a lot more fun in a group of like minded TDr car nuts.

How about a Spring get together at Skyline Dr in VA? Jut…

Dale Schumacher replied to the topic My First Show in the forum Clubs and Show 9 years, 10 months ago

I would have to strongly disagree about the Jag E-type in the middle – I think ( and many agree ) that they are one of the most beautiful cars ever built. I would love to own one. That being said – everyone has their own opinions about what looks good and thankfully their are plenty of cars to go around.

Thanks for the pics
Dale Schumacher replied to the topic VA Beach 2015 in the forum Clubs and Show 9 years, 10 months ago

It looks as if Dean ( Dbanta ) will need to bow out because of health issues. He is very bummed.

A ” Rock Star ” parking space is now available and paid for if anyone does not have or someone wants to come to the show late notice.

Terry will be driving his daily driver but he and his wife will be coming along to enjoy the weekend.

Please PM me if…

So just to be clear:

We will see you at Hornes Diner at the corner of 301 and 17 at aprox 12:30 tomorrow.

Dean has been suffering from health problems but I hope he will be with us as well.

Terry is trying to decide if he is bringing his MGB or regular ride. His wife is concerned about the length of the trip in a little car but I assured we can stop…

Dale Schumacher replied to the topic Coil-over rear shocks in the forum VW Based Kits 9 years, 10 months ago

Bill is right but what I experienced was a change in the front as well because when you lift one corner it changes the opposite front corner a bit. I have coil overs in the front as well so can adjust.
Dale Schumacher replied to the topic Coil-over rear shocks in the forum VW Based Kits 9 years, 10 months ago

RoyGood on you for losing 20 lbs. I wish I had your resolve. Maybe you can give weight loss advise.On to the subject.I have rear coil over shocks and they do well for me. You can adjust and help with a little listing but does affect the front as well so not a lot of adjustment without making the opposite front lower in my experience. Check mine…[Read more]
Dale Schumacher replied to the topic VA Beach 2015 in the forum Clubs and Show 9 years, 10 months ago

I quick question

Is anyone bringing their wife?

My friend Terry – hopefully bringing his early MGB is planning on bring his wife and I don’t want her to feel left out. He said she would be fine either way but just checking.

They ended up having to get a hotel 1/4 mile up the street because ours was sold out. I found that hard to believe this time of…
