I was looking for some more vinyl to re-do a couple of trim pieces in the car, and found something I like better than the "1290" or "stag" vinyls at the fabric store. I know some people use masonite

You can probably get some better leads from other list members for accurate smiths gauges. I've just been cruising the Ebay auctions for SMITHS style gauges. My oil pressure gauge was actually a 2" M

Yes, the o/p gauge is a mechanical one, but I haven't been able to find a hose kit or compression fitting to work on it yet. So it's a dummy right now. I don't know if both of my gauges just aged or

I've read where people have used volkswagen, GM aluminum (shortened) and custom multiple-core radiators in their spitfires. I notice that most aluminum radiators run in the $300+ range and that's for

What would truly worry me is if no one cast a critical eye on a car. Engine fires? (I don't know of anyone that's had a spitfire engine catch on fire. My brother's Firebird did though.) I'm surprised
