    Haven't been here for a while...

    Thought I would post some progress pics. I have done a lot in the last couple of years and the car is pretty much done except for the constant maintenance. You know how it goes, you get everything "done" then another gremlin sneaks in to make your eye twitch. This time it is a simple dashboard...

    The Tail of The Dragon

    Some pics of our vacation. My Son and I trailered the car from NJ to Tennessee and stayed a couple of days so we could drive The Tail of The Dragon.

    Harsh ride

    UPDATE - New Cooper Cobra's installed and high speed balanced - much improved but still a harsh ride. Then I dropped the tire pressure 10% from 30 psi to 27 psi and I backed off one click (from 5 to 4) on the front QA1 shocks, what a difference! The ride is much nicer, less teeth jarring and the...

    Harsh ride

    Close inspection reveals that my tires are out of round (flat spotted) due to sitting for too long. New tires are on the way.

    Flat spotting

    Flat spotting. I bought my Cooper Cobra GT's in 2021. After much investigation I have determined that the tires are out of round and are the most likely source of the harsh ride and vibrations I am experiencing. Your thoughts? I only drive the car about 1500 miles per year.

    Harsh ride

    The Borgeson box is about 2 weeks old. I am installing hub centric rings on the wheels tomorrow to try and eliminate that as a possibility. I'll also rotate the tires front to rear and see if that helps. Thanks.

    Cabin vent heat fix

    A lot of us suffer with hot air coming out of the vents. I did an internet search and found an article about a (hot water) shut off valve located behind the glove box (my car is a '79). If you remove the glove box liner you will see a cream colored plastic plunger switch, it is rectangular in...
