Glad to hear. Let me know if you need anything else that we haven't already discussed.

DV,
Do you have any more info on the status of Classic Roadsters, you said they are moving on and improving but I still get no answer when I call there. Is there a new phone number? Or any other way to contact the new owners? Thanks!!

Snakeracer,
Sorry your first post had to be about this.
First there is "no" new owner, second nothing has changed at Don's business. He still has been forced to cut all communications and shipping of all parts.
However: I wish this news was better but it is all there is, hopefully there will be a new owner who is trying to put together a massive financing package to get this company back on its feet. Right now "we" are all waiting and hoping for a positive! If I can possibly help you, maybe finding you a source for your parts, how to install, build, etc., please let me know. You are in good company!

DV,

What are we going to do for a roll bar? Can you get your guy to do a custom 4 point? Or would it be easier just to go with a standard drivers side bar? And if so, where could I get one from?

Let me know if there is anything else I can get you before the body comes over on the 7th of June.

I'm going to call my street rod guy on Tuesday to get an update on the rear lower arms.

Cheers,

Ed

capteddie,
Wetdog is borrowing my drivers side roll bar and going to have one fabricated. If you want one let Wetdog or myself know. Maybe you both can get a cost reduction from the tubing shop. Wetdog probably will not know the exact cost until he gets my rollbar to the tubing shop for them to look at.

What are you doing for rear lower arms. Are you making adjustable ones?

Thanks Terry,

DV was going to see if a guy he knows can fab up a 4 point roll bar. But if that doesn't work out, I would go with a standard drivers side only bar. So let me know what you guys come up with and maybe we'll go that route.

Yes. I'm having adjustable lower arms fab'ed up by a local hot rod shop. I'd be more than happy to post pictures and measurements as soon as they are done.

Sorry and not to hi-jack a thread, but does anyone know how is Don doing these days. I knew Pete was not well last we spoke some time ago. It has been along time since I checked in.

DV, you were right the bezels supplied (finish line) are sloppy for a 1 3/4 bar .Iam going to go to 2.00 it will look better and the bezels also come in 2" as well . I am also making up some brackets to attach the bar in a much stronger way , slip fit into a larger tube with some bolts going through . Tomarrow I will know cost for bending this up and if I use stainless no rust and no paint or coating costs .

wetdog,
You old "dog" you!

Wetdog,

Let me know when you get your roll bar finished. Might end up copying you and order one from where ever you have yours made from.

Thanks,

Ed

DV,

Just got off the phone with Woody at Nisonger about the gauges. He said he needs to know what fuel sender you want to use and he will provide the correct gauge.

Here's what I'm planning to get. It comes with the SpeedO, Tach, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, fuel and amp gauges. Plus all the sending units.

Nisonger Instruments :: the exclusive Smiths U.S. Warranty & Service Center since 1949

Call me or post what fuel sender you want to use and I'll get these ordered today. Anything else you need before next Saturday?

Cheers,

Ed

Double Venom · #45 05-29-2008, 10:41 AM

Ed it doesn't really matter as long as it matches there fuel gauge. Hopefully the fuel sender will have the standard bolt pattern?
I've got your custom pick up already made and welded in. Your AN fittings come right off the side of the tank- very cool. ( That idea came from the Calfornia guy!

Tank is now mounted along with the front end-brake lines fuel lines today....

Would take pictures but now my olympus camera took a dump too- geezh, what next!
