Quad Brake Light Conversion
Stock the car has turn signal in one lens and brake in the other (or is it just the upper for both? My car came disassembled).
I want brighter turns/brakes, so I installed 1157 dual filament bulbs top and bottom. Continue reading “Quad Brake Light Conversion”

Invasion X took place in Hendersonville, North Carolina, April 29 to May 2nd. I would like to thank Eric and Bonnie Gibeaut plus all their helpers who worked very hard to make Invasion X one of the best ever. The location was perfect with great scenery, a nice hotel plus, lots of shops including antique shops for the wives and girlfriends. The Biltmore Hotel is one of the local attractions which some members visited during the weekend. Continue reading “Invasion X – 2010”

How to clean and seal gas tanks.
Have you done yours yet?
You may be getting around to this job sooner or later if you or the DPO has not yet done it. In my case the DPO had done a poor job of sealing the tanks, which resulted in making the job even harder for the current DO. Here is what I found and did:
Upon removing the tanks from my SV I found they had been sealed at some point in the past. At first I thought, “Oh joy! I can skip this and carry on with other parts of the project.” But no.
