Hi djweaz, Nice collection you’ve got :) I can’t say anything regarding the caddy caps but I’m interested too. Btw what the tire sizes on the two...
Sorry, but this is only true for high frequency AC current, called skin effect. But starting a motor takes DC current and in this case only the...
I agree, trying to spend every day at least a little bit of time on the project gives a constant flow of progress. But that’s also a...
I really like your speed and the quality of your work. But your working day has got definitely more hours than mine :)
Even the flux inside the solder wire gives you corrosion if it gets humidity and time. So if you want to be bullet proof first crimp, solder only...
No no, I’m not going weld the gap shut, there has to come of another few centimetres from the tank tube and the connection will be made with this:...
I’m a little bit picky with the rubber hose because this will see always gas if the tank is more than 80% full. I use exactly the other part of...
Yeah, it‘s time for an update, at least a little progress acieved. Right lower rear fender is replaced, and the fancy push cap filler is partly...
mustang tank is returned to shop, and pop-up cap ordered, next step is to replace the rear lower fenders
exactly, the filler cap inside the trunk will probably give me the permanent smell of gasoline inside the car, may it derive from venting or from...
Hey Pist-n-Broke thanks a lot, I've already found this item right here in Germany without massive shipping and customs fares. :) Only 70€ but not...
Having machines correcting my writing to german doesn‘t help ether:rolleyes:
How does this cap work, press to get access to the knurled cap and unscrew that? Looking good, where do they offer this part?
Back again at the shoebox. Last year I‘ve also managed to install the Mercedes 190 gas tank, including brackets, flattening the hump above the...
Very nice, good job!
Your Race car registration is pure luxury compared to german rules, but seatbelts are worth to think about anyway.
Hey shywaz, I think you‘ve chosen the right track, rebuild what you‘ve got originally, include only minor improvements first. A frame clip is a...
Hi, this is an old thread and it seems that availability for Shoebox headers has decreased while prices have increased a lot. Reds are from 325...
Back again at the project after 20 months, as so often life has got into the way but it's still there and won't go. So in 2022 I managed to cut...
Are you still trying to start the engine with the two coils and the crappy cables from the tuesday picture? I would recommend to test at least...
Nothing to go racing but somehow unusual even when there are a lot fans still around here. Incredible sound you can hear from miles away from the...
I liked your version of this car more than the current one.
Your Skills are awesome! Everything was already said and I can only say that you‘re close to unreal. And as if it‘s nothing just restore a Vespa...
Ah ok, thanks for explaining.
Really nice! I‘ve never seen such a double side mirror. Is it to see the traffic lights?
Don‘t try to search for the web adress on the trailer, the content there has really nothing to do with custom Cars. Maybe somebody with quite...

Funny but somehow this factory fastback design study looks a little bit like what many top chops trying to achieve. Never seen it before.
