Me and my ride ...

Slow but sure.

I like driving my classic car. There's nothing like "wandering" through the countryside... not as fun when the car itself is "wandering" all over the road! Been messing around with the steering system in my VW since December. Linkage and joints seem tight, as do the wheel bearings. I figured the problem may be age-related, so I replaced the worm-gear steering box AND experimented with several adjustments ... still have more play in the steering wheel than what I'm comfortable with. Now I'm looking at the coupling between the box and steering column... Stay Tuned!!

Racing on a budget is what I enjoy and hope to do more of this year. From Champcar to Track night in America it's time to take it to the track.

Factory 5 Daytona coupe build . To go with my AC roadster .

Making a 30 y/o set of wheels new. It took multiple sessions of sanding and polishing, each of which I came out looking like the tin man from the amount of aluminum dust. But I can say they’re 99.9% perfect. After building a polishing jig, powder coating, valve stems, decals, and other misc expenses, I probably saved a couple hundred bucks over buying a brand new set. Was it worth it? Hell yes! I learned a lot and the ‘vintage factor’ is priceless.

Olive is most assuredly a project, but one much further along than I typically start with. She's an unusual sedan with some quirks, and has been off the road for a little over 10 years. I've driven her once, but when I filled up the gas tank for the first time, I found there were about 15 pinholes! Thankfully, a friend of mine sent me an NOS tank, and I'm replacing the old gas-soaked carpet and underlayment as well. Anyone else got a Triumph saloon (sedan) on here?
