Thanks Paul,
Pete at Classic Roadster said he did have a walnut and oak dash for the 1980 Duchess. He is looking to see if he has any unfinished ones. Actually, the person restoring my car for me said he’d rather find someone to do as you are saying so we can put bigger guages in and put in different places. How did you find a wood working person to do this??
Let me ask you something else. I have only driven the car one time at night. Oddly, the plastic covers on the directional signal lights on top of the fenders bubbled up from melting. Have you ever heard of this? I don’t know if the previous owner put the wrong bulbs in that were too strong or could wiring cause that. I don’t believe they were like that when I bought the car. Very strange!
Thanks again especially for the information for MG Magic for the tops. You guys have been a great help.
Thanks so much everybody. Actually I have never been in a chat room before so this is pretty cool that I received so many responses. They were all very helpful. I never thought about a boat shop! I have since taken it to a mechanic just to get a tune-up. I was having trouble with my wipers. He said I need another wiper motor. I don’t know in these kits if it is a VW part or where to go to get one. He said he could not find one. Does anyone know what kind they are in the Duchess or what kind of vendor to look for them? Having an old car of my own is pretty cool. I’m really getting into all the fixin’ ups on it! I live in Orlando, Florida
