VolksRod Coupe "Macht Nichts"

[Dustin]

Well without fenders I think a beam extension and the wire wheels would look sick!

Madmike:

The chrome alt. stand is yours big boy. Let me know the next time your in the area or the next GTG and I'll bring it.

Actually glad someone can use it.

I used yellow Taylor plug wires on the Sonett years ago. I bought a kit to allow you to fab each wire to the exact length you needed. The plug ends were molded on, and I got ones that were 45 degrees to better fit the heads. They looked great, and worked great, but since they were not radio suppressed, no one close to my house or close to me on the road ever got any kind of radio signal.

Found I really liked the 45 degree plug boots. Easy on, easy off.

I do remember they were stupid expensive...like $20 a wire. The dealer tried to sell those braided stainless plug wires, which could talk a good running engine and turn it into a poor running engine just by putting them on. They had a hidden benefit, too. They would cut through any hose, wires, valve covers they made contact with. I had a lot of stainless AN hoses that destroyed anything they touched unless they were restrained. I'll never buy them pre-made again...I'll always have them made to order.

Yea Dustin,I was checking them Extentions out That would be sweet with the wires,I've been looking into wheel adapters for the old wires $180 for 2+shipping,OUCH,I May just put the ET's on it too I have the adaps for those, just need lug nuts I really hate adapters since I lost a tire on a Buggy yrs ago,lucky I was towing it with a tow bar on I/75 doin about 70mph, weird thing, it never dropped on the rear drum until I slowed down to about 20mph,Funny to see some A$$holes tire pass you by ;D Then reconize It's yours ;D ;D ;D Told the wife to keep an Eye on it while I tried not to cause and accident That thing went Bouncing into a corn field for a 1/4mi But I found it and borrowed some lug bolts from the other 3 good wheels and made it home ;D ;D

[Dustin]

Wow those are some pricey adapters! But the looks would be soooo sweet.

Madmike:

Another SNAG my deck lid won't work with the org hinges now that the carbs are in the way It's always something when modifying ;D so far I've thought of a Piano hinge,old skool hood pins, two leather straps ;D but I would like a clean hidden hinge look

[81pumagtc]

Madmike:

Take a look at these. They are Puma deck lid (engine cover) hinges. They are very clean and come in black or chrome. Nice quality, and I think they are about $20.00.

Thanks Dave,but i would like a hidden hinge type mounting for a cleaner look,plus there is a lip that the lid fits on a and I don't know if the Puma hinges would fit?

Madmike:

I agree with you on the hidden hinge. but that may be tough. Since it is a curved lip you can't use a piano hinge, unless it's a small section of it. I'll look a bit more for you. (Lots of interesting catalogs here. )

I like it better without the engine cover myself. But if you must. I think copper door hinges mounted on the outside of the veh would look sweet on sued paint.

[MadMike]

Copper? Now that would be diff Or maybe Brass

[dansam]

wrap its ass in brass 8)
