Every Carlisle for the last 5 years I have looked for a model of the TD and have never seen one. Lots of sellers there w/ the TC’s and the like, but never TD’s. Hope to find one this year.

Dick,

 Roy,I would not worry either – just go straight

Tighten up the front bar and now you have to worry about the pretty front wire wheels – As Rosanna Danna Danna used to say ” it’s always something “.

Bill,

Less then a hour from me – go by the all the time – wish it had been around when I purchased my TD – would have saved me a ton of work. 3000.00 seems a little high for a unfinished project car. I know he spent a lot more if he purchased new.

Roy,

 Wobby,Good to hear from you – looking forward to visiting and hitting the road together.Friday night dinner and then a run to the downtown party sounds like fun – only thing – just wanted to make sure we don’t mess up Bruce’s plans – I guess as long as everyone agrees and we give him advance notice we should be good. What does everyone…[Read more]

I will take a look again – I do not remember seeing anything like that, but it has been a while – I do  remember that there were no markings – just two very small holes. I guess a light/mirror and upside down. Maybe better just to get loose and pull out and try and adjust.

Do you remember how to adjust? Small screwdriver maybe? I don’t remember any markings on the rear to indicate anything.  

Thanks Paul – dang it

Somebody buy this – I need a black top – it looks like white would go better w/ this car and he has a extra. Maybe I should email and ask if he would just sell me the extra top.

 Ed, I think 73 would be rack and pinion? Might be a problem for the build.

 Bill, Very cool – looking forward to seeing the results – you may have just turned me into a painter for my Speedster project.

 Bill, sounds good – maybe a run downtown w/ a few of us after Friday night dinner.Ed – 2nd gear it is – the thing is – Roy is retired and most likely spending his days practicing on a local track. I know he is fast because I have seen a picture of him in his car w/ two wheels up in the air!

 Eric,Thanks for posting – you have found the bunch of guys who care the most about these replica’s. I live in the DC area as well and was able to get my car on the road a few years back. VW doners are not as easy to find now days, but still out there. As an example a local vintage VW guy receives old cars and breaks the down for the usable parts…[Read more]

Love this:

By the Way – I will be out today w/ my ride when I get home – 90 degrees today? Crazy. I need to find that empty parking lot and practice – so far everything is being used – park&ride and the schools are still open for a while.

Ed,

 Paul,Thanks for that link on the different type of racks – I think I may try the wood type – I have left over Mahogany from a project that will work if sealed well – no cost to me other then labor. I can then look at Carlisle at the swap and see if any deals are to be had on the traditional type.
