Yes. The “before” wasn’t bothering me too terribly much but after seeing the “after” I definitely like it more.

Good solution! Keep it simple.

It sincerely makes me happy that you are finally starting to accumulate adventures in it. You put a lot of work into that car.

Well… The windshields are coming from a US distributor. But that distributor has a global network of manufacturers which keeps the prices lower but which can complicate the process. The distributor buys them in batches of like 20 or more to benefit from the Economies of Scale. They...

Ha! A typical kit car mystery. Short answer: Who knows?! You’ll probably have to try to trace the wires. Is it a latching switch or a momentary switch? If it’s momentary it almost has to be something that’s a novelty like a second horn. But it just might be an ejection seat as you’ve...

The bureaucracy of getting a custom car legal is maddening. Thank goodness it usually eventually works out …after the paperwork-based hazing rituals have run their course.

My thoughts are that that sounds like a clever option to pursue. I like it. Let us know how they fit and feel. 👍

I might have a tunnel. I’ll check.

Both look great! 👍 👍

I like your metal work. How were those panels cut?

Finally a driver with plenty of headroom. That’s cute. ☺️

Four words: Custom Sterling baby seat.

Thanks for digging for some actual numbers. Those actually jibe quite nicely with our educated guesses. Yeah, I don’t know what the heck some people on FB were thinking today. I actually rarely post there, but when somebody confidently said that 1) an electric ac compressor doesn’t rob...

Very good summary article! Thanks for sharing. And I trust Vintage Air’s opinion. 👍

Excellent post. 😂 I like the current plan and am definitely gonna hold you to the Mandalorian helmet.

Looking good. That should be a nice, subtle improvement when done.

I’m 6’2” and agreeing heavily with you. 😄

Rick, you in particular, I think, are really gonna like the new car. It very heavily honors the original but has been tweaked to be mid-engine (plus other fun stuff.) I’m about 2000 hours into it and hopefully will soon get to a certain milestone with the body at which point I’ll start to...
