I think I'd beat him hard for $1,500. As others have said it's just up the road so the gas cost is low and you don't have the border crossing...
Better check with customs at the border and I.C.B.C. It won't leave the U.S. without a title. You have to pick the border crossing that it's...
That is one sweet build. You have fantastic talent sir and you certainly put it to good use. Not afraid to tackle the hard to do. Don't know if...
I think you will find that the the wooden drum in the first set of photos is from a tannery. The hides were put in there during various steps and...
Great to see this restoration. My mother had a 1965 Corsa 140 hp convertible, all black. One of the cars we wish we had back. That is she had it...
Cresent Beach, B.C.
Crank case oil will come out almost as clean as it went in. I'd do a duel fuel system then no matter what your covered.
rayjzt, We don't use titles here in Canada. Ask your buddy the cop if he can run the V.I.N. number with the R.C.M.P. I take it the car went to...
Hey Kid. When we get there we'll meet you at the beach.
Not an SO story but close. My Mom had a 1965 Corvair convertible with a 140hp and a 4 speed and my brother talked Mom and Dad into trading it for...
You might be Canadian if no one has to explain what a Touque is because you own at least 5 of them. It's 14C or 57.2F and sunny here in south...
At almost 70 I really regret the time I said hold my beer and watch this. They're still repairing parts 50 years later. Last thing was my knees.
I'm just can't help wondering what's going to happen when Slick sells the car he found hidden away for years to someone for huge dollars and when...
Found this one today. Henderson motorcycle powered. Steve. http://www.flickr.com/photos/dclarson/3623147057/sizes/z/in/photostream/
My first choice would be running gear from a Ford Anglia/Prefect post war to 1950's. Reality says a first generation Triumph Spitfire. A later...

http://lecyclecaristebelge.forumchti.com/t28-amilcar-parts-for-sale-virginia-usa-sold#28 Here's what's under the Amilcar beauty. It would be...
Enough Amilcar Skiffs??? Please explain. Thank you for the ones you've shown.
OldFox, Could I suggest this forum We are a motorized bicycle forum with a lot of us making bikes into look alike antique motorcycles and board...
On site above look at the sidebar on the left and go to section 5. Vacuum forming is the title. Lots of good ideas about mould making.
OldFox, What make of bike? If you get some mediun density fiberboard {MDF} and stack it up to the thickness of your fender width and glue and...
july08, Not much here in B.C. except cedar and fir. Worst part is that I need to find a wood that will bend without breaking. The good part is...
july08, Saw the model A speedster body for the first time today when I was looking at the internet. He lives about 10 miles away from where I do...
OldFox, I was thinking that if you were to use strips of 1/8 or 1/4 inch luan to lay up a body like the one we were all looking at with its double...
Looking at the photos again it appears that they may have nailed the first layer of wood and glued the second layer to it since there are no nail...
Sort of how I built the sidcar but without the curves I laid 1/4 inch luan plywood over the frame and then nailed 1/8 thick x1-1/4 wide mahogany...
Banjeaux Bob, I'll do that for sure. TheOldFox, If I get down your way I'll tell you the story about the 3 foot deep ditch in front of the house...
Banjeaux Bob, Thank you. Hope I can bring a Cyclecar to the forum soon.
Very good eye sir. Yes I did have a hub motor in the hack but I moved it to the rear wheel of the bike since it didn't handle well. Steve.
Here's a rear view. The battery goes in under the rear hatch. It's a lithium polymer battery and 36V. Steve. [IMG]
