Looks like my steering wheel. My rivets are recessed a bit too, but have never bothered me. The rivets don’t look like they unscrew from the back. You might be able to sand the front side down to rivet depth, but could do more damage than good.

Michael Ketcham replied to the topic Tool Kit Rollup in the forum General Discussion 7 months ago
Seems he has one left. There are other similar sellers but make sure it’s real leather not imitation or the iron on process will melt it. Also make note of mfrs logos location. Iron on might not hide…[Read more]

Found this tool rollup on Ebay for about 25.00. Seller described it as for motorcyclists but it slips nicely under the passenger seat. The logo is an iron on transfer I printed from a stock internet image. Sticks nicely to the leather. I need to manhandle the kit with dirty hands to give it some “authentic patina”!

Mentioned a while back that I was having heat issues with my cooling system. Hunkering down at home gave me the perfect opportunity to attempt a solution and I purchased an high performance 2 row aluminum radiator on Ebay. Radiator is for a 1992 to 2000 Honda Civic with automatic transmission. Also bought a 48 inch stainless radiator hose…[Read more]

<Since I’m hunkering mostly at home right now, I have lots of time for projects I’ve been putting off. Grabbed some brake parts cleaner and my wife’s toothbrush recently and went to work detailing the engine compartment. New plug wires, high temperature engine enamel and a few days later this is where it’s at.

Michael Ketcham replied to the topic Considering new radiator for heat issues in the forum Chevy/Ford Kits 9 months, 1 week ago
Took the big step and replaced original Chevette radiator with a high performance 2 row aluminum. New radiator was listed on EBay as for a 1992 – 2000 Honda Civic EG/DEl Sol/Integra with automatic transmission, including fan for less than 75.00. Also bought a 48 inch stainless steel hose kit and water temperature switch and harness. Didn’t h…[Read more]

This is a topic that worked its way into my e-mail. Soon you will be able to order an electric motor/transmission package complete with assorted mounting points for your special interest car. The package is not much bigger than a present day transmission, which allows you plenty of room to place batteries of your choice. Batteries would add w…[Read more]

Took the Chevette based BCW MG out for a 5o mile round trip and by the time I got home (it was 85 degrees outside) the water temperature was a touch over 230. Id never seen it over 220 before. Inspected system afterwards. Antifreeze level was good but there is a little what looks like corrosion in the corners of the core near the top. No puddles…[Read more]

Michael Ketcham replied to the topic How one thing leads to another…and another… in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 9 months ago
You wonder what was going through the minds of the original builders on some facets of the build. Maybe he thought by casing the brake line in fiberglass it would be forever protected and never ever a problem. Mine might have been a “Hold my beer. I’ll put that steering shaft in”. Sounds like you had it a lot worse. At least your floo…[Read more]
