Any chance of seeing pics of dash and upholstery on doors

EdYour blog should be required reading for any new members the almost step by step pics chronicles your work from good to great. My apologies to anyone who has done the same as Ed that I have yet to read. I see that Paul has made some posts sticky and ones that have been done eg Suspension should be considered by new members like me the place to…[Read more]

BillTried going thru the photo gallery but members take more pics of exterior than interior and without proper titles for pics cannot do a search to filter for what I am looking for. Doing Google search for TD interiors has been more productive but what I was interested in was what the members have done and can be done different from original kits

JohnAbsolutely a beautiful dash. Exactly what I am looking to be doing. Are your gauges VDO or Dophin? The white face versus black makes for great contrast with dark walnut. What is the diameter of your your steering wheel? As I am 6′ plus I struggle to get in to TDR with 12″ – 3″ dish steering wheel

I understood the torsion bars had to be shorter to match the beam but thought that I could cut an inch off each side with a cut off saw or grinder. What I was hoping was that someone could help me understand the need for “narrow tie rods”. Had to go back and check the site when Paul questioned the “narrow ball joints”. Should have checked before…[Read more]

CIP1 website recommends that narrower torsion bars and ball joints be installed with narrower beam. Have not read anything in the thread mentioning requirement. Could anyone one has installed the narrow beam comment on the CIP1 recommendation? If required the cost for parts almost doubles

I tried to insure the TDR with company I have been with for over 30 years and they were not even interested in providing quote.  Was referred to broker in Canada who works with Hagerty and I had the same experience as you did.  Not only did they offer coverage for what I paid for the TDR  but also the taxes I had to pay to get the ownership tr…[Read more]
