A mold was made from the 1/8 scale clay model and a fiberglass body was then produced. It was finished with wheels and painted white so it could be shown to the bankers. Herb kept that original mold and over the years it traveled the world with us. After returning to the states and in the mid 1990's Herb had a fiberglass company pull 3 bodies of which he finished 2 of them and sold. The 3rd body remained in his possession. In 2007 Herb had 4 more bodies pulled from the original mold that was made in 1972. That gave him a total of 5 bodies. His plan was to finish each body and turn them into finished models and offer them for sale. I was forced to sell 1 of the bodies (in as is condition) soon after his death. My situation at this time does not allow me to keep all the remaining 4 bodies and for that reason I am offering for sale 3 of the remaining 4 1/8 scale bodies in AS IS CONDITION. Each body is as it was pulled from the mold in 2007. The body is gray, it measures 45" in Length, 18" in Width and 11" in Height and the Weight is about 10 pounds. The price includes shipping with Crate & Freight and full value insurance to your residence in the continental United States. Total price for each body is $2,000 with shipping Contact Terrie Grasse grassedesign at earthlink.net 602-284-5750 -------------------------- Pictures can be found at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/john_t_blair/ Bricklin-1 thru Bricklin-6 If interested call Terrie Grasse John John T.

Anyone have a car that still has the original hydrolics? If so could you take some pictures of the hydrolic panel showing the pump and control solenoids. 2. Anyone have a door skin off or the inner panel off their car? They need a picture of the electric door latch solenoid. Then they need picturs of: 3. V.D.O. Temperature Gauge 4. Grounds - Main harness ground - located at the left front wheelhouse (inner fender panel) 5. Headlamp Adjustment - the headlight assembly showing the 2 screws used to adjust/aim the headlights 6. Exhaust System - Muffler and the 2 pipes going to the manifolds 9. Front Wheel Bearing Assembly - inner and outter with races (and possibly grease seal) . 1 picture can show all 4 or 5 pieces.

The air conditioner condenser it right up next to the new radiator. Is there an issue with the condenser being next to the radiator? If so what would the recommended spacing between the two be?

I would not want metal to metal contact though, a nice piece of soft rubber weather stripping would be nice to keep them from wearing into each other On 5/19/2012 12:28:16 AM, Greg Schroeder (gschroeder at comcast.net) wrote: > I have just installed an aluminum radiator that is a little larger than > the > original.
