Hi All,
The "Escapes" Section (3/5) has an article on Classic Car Mechanics, and I got a mention in the article! There's also a picture of Francois.

Have you given Karp's brake service a call?

I had them rebuild a booster for my Alpine, and look like the have parts for your booster. They did a great job.

Remmeber that if you end up with a drip or run, it can be sanded smooth with 1000 grit sandpaper when it dries, and buffed out. If there are any cracks in the wood, now is the time to fix them before the varnish. I watered down carpenter's glue and forced it into the cracks before firmly clamping th...

All the complaints I get on this forum are from AOL users. The software designers that wrote this program are aware of the problem, but feel that there would be a security risk from hackers if changes were made to allow AOL users to access forums like this one. I know there are a lot of AOL users, b...

Hi Matt, DOT 5 is Silicone brake fluid, and is very different from DOT 3 or 4. DOT 5 is safer for paint, and supposedly won't absorb water, but can be harder to bleed the air out of a system, and is slightly compressible (perhaps because small bubbles stay in suspension). Installing DOT 5 in a syste...

Hi Steve, I think you're making the right decision in driving the car for the summer and fall before embarking on any major work. You'll enjoy the car on the road, and get to know her before tearing into the body and interior. What color blue was the interior? Was it a light blue like http://www.tom...

Hi Matt, Congratualtions!!! I'm sure you'll have many joyous moments in that car. One tip I've heard on the getting the knock-off off is to use two hammers. Keep the lead one in contact with the spinner, and hit that one with another hammer. This can help keep better aim. A dead blow hammer can also...

Hi Matt, The Timevalve exhaust is very similar to the Ansa system, but the sound will probably be different. When I've heard a 330 GT 2+2 exhaust made by Timevalve, the system seemed quieter than the Ansa systems I've heard on similar cars. Of course, sound is a subjective matter, so your perception...

Hi Steve, I think the amount of journal entries I've written on my interior restoration is a good indication of how complex the 330 America interior can be. An interior can cost anywhere from $8K to $15K depending on how much you need to have done and the quality of the work. The Connolly leather th...
