Hi All, I have a 30 roadster with folding top . When I take the top down it goes in a boot and lies in the area between the cockpit and the trunk lid , there are no entry bars like on a stock model, until now I`v had a soft cloth under the boot to keep it from scratching the paint .I now see some very light scratches. So now I`m thinking sewing something permanent to the bottom part of the boot.Question is what. Rabbit fur?

Hi guys, I`m going on a US. road trip, have a look at, www.lh2013.com
The organizers  warn about vapour lock , going through some of the hotter desert states. I`ve read a carb spacer will prevent this , will a spacer have any other affect on the engine operation? Engine is a 350 sbc.
Stock 300 Hp. coated headers in a fendered model A roadster with only the hood top on . Should I be worried.
Thanks Tolle.

Hi guys, one of my buddies owns a 67 corvette 427 cu, 425 hp. with a 700hr4 reinforced bought  from the USA it lasted 2 yrs.,his fault, then toast.my friend now chose to have it rebuilt in denmark , and at first off performed well, next day awful, day after on next drive ,  it will not downshift at all, even with a hard kick? What should we be looking for, too long cable , too short cable

Hi all, I have a couple of problems with my newer sbc. crate engine, under 3000 miles. Its in a steel 30 ford roadster, 2900 lbs.edelbrock intake and carb, 2102+1405, block huggers , walker alum. radiator , 700r4 trans with a jag 3.06 rearend . Thing is it runs too cold , drove to a meet 800 miles , and it never got over 160 f. and gas milage is lousy,I was certain I had a 160f. thermostat in it , but when taken apart it was a 195f. that was not working.So I got a new one checked for function and replaced it . But now it ran cooler ? So today I blocked off the entire front of the radiator and gave it a spin, came right up close to 195f. and stayed there.Should I be thinking about some sort of restrictor in a hose or do you have any other suggestions . The other issue is gas milage , I know a cold running engine will not give you gas milage , but I`m getting 14.1 mpg. Cruising at 1500 rpm. = 54 miles and hardly ever go above 2500 rpm. Any thoughts would be appreciated  ( the water pump is a no name alum. deal) Thanks

Do you guys use the original steel spring fasteners on the upholstery door panels, I find they scratch a lot. Anything else like Velcro or ?
