Yes, my car h as a GRP screen mounting. I plan to change it to aluminum as soon as I can get the fabricator off some other projects that he is doing for me. I...
It depends on who made the part. As I recall, the piece was sent as a flat piece of aluminum, and the builder had to form it. Two piece frames were easier to...
The color scheme is very nice, and not out of period. Yellow racers were common back at that time. I am sure that you can find an aircraft fabricator to make...
I was over @ another site and found this company selling UK made Lucas switches and other electrical stuff. Supposedly better quality than the Taiwanese stuff...
Installed the Phantom Grip in my 4.22 diff yesterday. I needed to remove about 1/32" from the face of each spider gear. I used my belt sander, going slowly and...
Good to hear that things are moving along. I should have my fully machined block back next week, along with the balanced reciprocating assembly (I changed rod...
I am curious as to how well the Phantom Grip works. I may spring for a Quaife, as one has ... front anti sway bar ... I thought that for $400, ie: 1/3 to 1/4...
Jan, I just went down to drop-off my Datsun GB. Jesse wasn't there, but his boy Jr. was.....Kept me waiting for 18 mins while he talked on the phone, took at...
Lots of flakes in this business. I met the old man, and he was quite nice, and simply said, "drop it off, $175 labor plus parts". I was there dropping off a...
I am enjoying some of these Westfield posts, but not all of them, particularly since I get far too many e-mails. I imagine that many others do, as well. Could...
Painters and flakes!!! I know what you mean about aerospace painters and solvent, used to manage a hangar @ Van Nuys where they painted MD-80's. I would come...
... particularly since I get far too many e-mails. I imagine that many others do, as well. ... are pertinent to most all of the members? I may be wrong, but I...
Well, you could just turn off the E mail portion, and just read off the site. What you may consider pertinant to "most" members might not serve everyone on the...
Megasquirt is an often discussed subject around here. Though the system itself costs less than $500, I would need a Laptop (something that I need for business...
The guys on the UK Westfield site have had good results using Suzuki throttle bodies on homemade manifolds. They claim that each unit will support up to 70 or...
With my current Renault project, and all of the fabrication that goes along with it, I have found that I don't want to do fabrication if I don't have to. This...
Called Box & Gear today for a status report, like night and day. Jr. was polite and put me onto his Dad right away. Jesse was a real gentleman, the tranny had...
This Box & Gear Company could be a great place for The Discovery Channel to visit, the Snr & Jnr relationship could be exploited for TV, but with a twist,...
I will be picking it up later today and will have a definitive answer on this, but over the phone Jesse said it was just synchros, bearings and seals. I think...
Final note on Box & Gear: the transmission had been painted silver with cheap rattle can paint. I had dropped off a shiny clean gearbox that I had spent an...
Well, cheap enough. I will tell them not to paint my transmission. It is a nice aluminum shade of aluminum. In any case, my car will have the full belly pan,...
Tom from Manik must be too modest or, more likely, too busy to tell us, but there are some new shots of his build over on the westfieldeleven.com site. There...
Good news and bad news....The Big Box O'Car arrived, but the home delivery I paid for was not available, that meant I had to rent a stake-bed truck and go pick...
Yahoo accidently sent my mail while I was spell checking. I don't want to leave the wrong impression about my reaction to my situation. I am angry and I am...
Mike, My sincere sympathy; it's a real shame!! Thanks for sharing with us. I'm hoping that your next posting is full of happiness. You deserve no less than...
Michael, OK, its messed up a little. So long as the chassis is straight, you can go on building your car. I am willing to bet that the chassis is just fine....
