Mike I believe its up to the skills of the person preparing the car. I know with my era the gaps were very tight almost non existing leaving it up to the body shop. The man that did my car (Tony now Passed) was such a craftsman i have no problem with panel alignment or gaps especially on a...

i was hoping for an easier solution. I might explore registering it in Rhode Island. I might contact RI dmv and see how they would handle it. I have a home in RI so its a legitimate address. LLoyd

Has anyone had any success with changing from a composite title to a 1966 gt40 title. If you were to register today for the first time with a C.O. you can register it as 1966. apparently once title it can't be changed. must be in stone somewhere There is a financial incentive to having a...

thanks Howard i like the (2) 5 lb tanks would be much easier to tuck in somewhere. the car is driven only on the street. I've always been bothered sitting between two fuel tanks LLoyd

5lb vs 10lb whats necessary. is it obvious more is better. with space constraints the 5 lb is half the size. is 5lb more than enough to suppress a fire why do they even sell 5lb bottles when space on most cars is not a consideration LLoyd

a critical problem is gasing do the rubber tanks allow gas to seep thru the membrane and cast a smell. I have ERA plastic tanks and the do smell of gas. since they are not isolated the smell creeps into the cockpit. i have thought of changing to aluminum to git rid of the smell Lg

Thinking of fires suppression seems like most of the kits come with 3 nozzles. what is the placement two in cockpit and one engine bay or the opposite. most likely an engine bay fire but i care about my own but over the engine. Lloyd

i have an eagle 4 post lift my recommendation is aluminum ramps. the steel ramps require two men and a small boy to lift and move. once the car is on the lift you remove the ramps to lift the car. so yo you spend a lot of time moving the ramps. Lloyd

looks like dot 5.1 it is thanks LLoyd

thanks Rick i'll check into dot 5.1 really didn't want to flush the system. I really don't see how to get all of the alcohol out of the system with out disassembling everything. Lloyd

Putting on new power master cylinder. Manufacturer recommends dot 5. The system has been using Dot 3. They recommend flush with alcohol and install DOT 5. I've been reading pros and cons of both. Opinions flush and go with dot5 or just stay with dot3/4 LLoyd

every year on the rotor and cap. i have an MSD 6al with a MSD distributor. Problem is the center contact appears to be made of carbon and wears down very quickly. 2 years on a cap is not good. No problem since i've been changing every year Talked to MSD they say never have heard of such of...

Ct now allows you to register your car as the year and model it most resembles. This is quite a wind fall. Because if you are allowed to register your car as a 1966 automobile you can put antique plates on the car thus limiting your tax evaluation to $500.00. I am currently paying $800 a...
