There is a mint instrument panel, good tail light housings, sidemount covers, front horns, good steering wheel etc.
Mechanical plans for the car include stepdown brakes, a 5 speed gearbox and a better ratio rear end, ideally I’d like the engine to be doing around 2000RPM at 60mph.

The first photo show the H8 arriving, it almost looks like a driver but alas its just been cobbled together for transport purposes. The next 5 photos are what it all looks like now, the shell, a shelf full of fenders etc, the engine, the chassis.]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/163157/terraplane-headlights-and-battery-holder Mon, 20 May 2013 11:05:03 +0000 barrysweet52 163157@/forum/discussions http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/163067/i-believe-i-found-my-transmission-issue- Mon, 06 May 2013 23:56:00 +0000 raidmagicverizonnet 163067@/forum/discussions http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/163156/1928-huson-essex-flat-rate-prices-repairs-manual Mon, 20 May 2013 02:24:04 +0000 hudsontech 163156@/forum/discussions This manual is from London, England and is rather interesting.

I am not sure what to use to hold the insignea on the trunk or wheather to use it or try to find the right one with small pins. I would have to redrill the original pin holes bigger to make it fit. What do you think.

I got a new sony handycam digital movie camera recently and wanted to try it out. I decided to try taking a movie of the top stack operation. I uploaded the movie to photobucket because it was way to large to email. I sent it to Fred Connors about a week ago. I got to thinking some of you guys might like to see it too. When I uploaded it to Photobucket the video was longer than it is now. Apparently they must edit what you put on their site. Anyway here is a link to the video. Rob

I have heard from a teacher at Wyotech that they are because they damage the metal due to how thin it is. Are they even worth it? or would I be better of to switch it for another body hammer.

a) it starts well but doesn't want to STAY running, and
b) the guy I bought it from said "it really needs a tune up"

So what are you guys using for spark plugs and the distributor cap & rotor? Anything that works better than others?]]> http://www.classiccar.com/forum/discussion/163145/interesting-article-on-extreme-oil Sat, 18 May 2013 08:17:55 +0000 Lee ODell 163145@/forum/discussions Lee O'Dell

I'm going to order new bushings and link ends for my Wasp. The urethane ones I have used in the past are noisey. Who has used the urethane ones available for step-downs? Do they squeak? Are there poly-graphite bushings available for short-wheelbase step-downs? How about the panhard bar at the rear; what's available for them? Thanks for your input.
