I have a similar turn signal lying around somewhere that came with the F100 column I bought a few years ago. Now I’m curious to see how it was...
Not sure if I’ve seen this car before. Interesting to see the friction shocks beneath the front springs. Is that the licence “plate” number...
Reminds me when we had a garage sale at my grandmother’s place once. Had to be over 30 yrs ago, and most items were less than a dollar. Recall...
Interesting. He mentioned they looked like wax, but also said they should be ok. I’ll have to got back by through the manuals, but pretty sure...
As I get closer to setting up the rear suspension of my speedster, at the moment it has a slight rake towards the front, but in the 3D model made...
Yep, saw this the other day. [ATTACH]
Ended up going to that show plus another one in Montreal. Was a 10 hr day and drove along the St. Lawerance Seaway after leaving the first show....
My buddy said the caps don’t appear to be of the electrolytic type, so should be good still. He said to use cooking oil to free up the stuck mode...
I’m going to have to make it there next year. Only about 4.5 hrs from my place.
Finally got the stupid AstroVan shifter freed up. Took a lot of banging, and then a short tube extension on the shifter stub, and then it just...
Maybe, maybe not. We’ll see if anyone is interested and if so, how much $$$.
We’ll see about keeping it “vintage” looking. I really want to, but everything will likely end up getting painted anyways.

Created this thread on the fuel tank. Picked up a nicely made aluminum one yesterday. This will be another “project”....
Bits arrived the other day. Pulled the panel off. There are a ton of caps underneath. I’m sure they must need to be replaced. Asked my buddy what...
Still not sure how all this YT channel stuff works, but my kiddo discovered that some clown took my short vid with almost 2 million views and made...
Got the tank home. Was a long day. I’m glad I have a professionally built fuel tank. I’m thinking of shortening it down so it can fit in the...
On my way to pick up the aluminum one.
One of my cousins sent me this yesterday - Wacky Races. Completely forgot about it, but I’m sure as a small child, it must have had an influence....

Just found this, but it’s 4 hrs away. [ATTACH]
The wall thickness of the new tank is less than the old tank. So, could be an issue. I really don’t need 60L as it will be only for show and maybe...
Cutting into a used fuel tank is still something I’m not sure about doing myself. Years ago, a local shop teacher had one of his students do that,...
Unfortunately, car will never be street legal in Quebec, but doesn’t mean I want to cut corners. Safety is always a top priority, so I try to do...
This just popped up. It’s 14” x 26” which would be perfect. Looks like it ‘s homemade. Asked if there was any baffling, and he said there was a...
Comparison of the two tanks. [ATTACH]
I cringe every time I hear the word “expert”. During my 30 year plus career as an engineer, I’ve heard that word thrown around countless times,...
I agree. When I set about to re-create Richard Scaldwell’s GN JAP creation, I quickly learned that without a lightweight engine, and chain drive...
You got the bearings mixed up I think. The rear bearing has the thrust flanges. It should be in the centre.
