I love my Goodyear Eagle F1's! The Bass are biting huh? Hmmmm. I know you've told me before, but what part of Ohio?!?!?! Only one road trip this spring/summer (Mitty) WON'T do it! LOL! I LOVE zig za

Sorry I don't have an answer for you, but... however many people you determine you need, get two more. Body work is a pain. ESPECIALLY body work that didn't need to be done BEFORE YOU STARTED! LOL!

And what's one gallon of Premium gas among friends? Matt :-) It is a drag, I don't like it and am disappointed, but I figure an extra $5 won't kill anyone. Jeff T. ___________________________________

Hi Everyone, Here s an update on Mitty. If you have a chance, pick up some oversized cheap plastic floor mats. Red Georgia clay is nasty stuff on your carpets. It s bad enough as dust, it s HORRIBLE

Hi Paul, I figured that too. The holes where the carbs belong just looked really weird. Usually a hood like that would house a V6 or more likely V8. Carbs wouldn't be there then. Hmmmmm. Someone on t

Hi Everyone, I know this is trivial, but here goes. I added an aftermarket cigarette lighter (don't have a center console). I have it wired completely separate from everything else in the car. (-) is

Thank you for all the replies! I couldn't believe so many folks chimed in. I will not run this un-fused. The lighter is an aftermarket Pep-Boys $6 special (socket and pull-out). I don't have the pack

Since then I have upgraded to a Delco 10SI 63 amp alternator. Once I get the relays wired, I'll probably try them again, just because I already own them. About the seller: They shipped pretty quickly

Personally, I like stock roadsters. If I were 5'5" and 130 lbs, and fit into my roadster with room to spare, I'd probably have mine stock. I'm 6'1" and over 260 lbs. I have made "adjustments". I've o

Hi Dave, I don't think there was an argument to win or lose. Someone stating a personal preference CAN'T be wrong, as it is their preference. I love them both/all. The SRL 311 Solex was primarily bui

Thank you for your input, Alvin. I didn't say I could take a Corvette in a quarter mile. I said "off the line". I see Corvette's all the time. They're EVERYWHERE! If you're ever in Chattanooga, I'd l

Hi All, Bad news from North Georgia/East Tennessee. I was on my way VERY early this morning. I had meant to leave yesterday but had electrical problems with the car. I worked on it all day yesterday.

Wow that brings back memories! I haven't jumped railroad tracks since the early 80's! I'm ITCHING to do it again now! It's not going to happen in my Roadster, but maybe I'll have to get a rental car

Mine is a 1970. I tried to go in on the drivers side but too much stuff is in the way. Its the hot/cold control I need to replace. I just can't get enough room to get my hand in there. I got the cabl
