You know, it doesn't not look bad. You were very brave in taking on something so cosmetic, as a project. But I get where you are coming from. This is fussy, fussy work. Special tools, tricks, luck and experience are all required in the right proportions. Last year I looked at my front seat kit...

Good idea! I thought about this operation a lot. My friendly local restorer was kind to remove the top nut for me to get started, but I knew the-putting-it-all-back-together phase, would be lengthy. So I researched and bought the one above. Was happy the lower hooks can lock in place, then the...

Hi Bob, It was this unit I found on Amazon. Read the reviews on it and felt that enough people had successfully used it without drama, that I thought it was worth a try. Heavy and robust, I also liked it had its own case. Mike

Man. I feel your pain. Only thing worse than working all day for no progress, is working all day and going backwards, like something snapped/broke/leaked/shredded/bent/got lost/fell into some dark hole/discovered new piece was wrong part/......fill in blank if I missed something. All part of the...

I have L & R, rear handles, but in blue. Would that work for you?

For some time my Coupe had entertained me with a certain sound as I reversed out of my garage. there was a "clack" that I could not pinpoint. I would put the car up on jack stands and inspect all of the steering gear, and it was all new and tight. No play anywhere. Wheel bearings to spec. Hmmm...

Shame to cover with the giant air filter housing. Nice work! ;)

yeah," rough and grindy," Just like my front strut bushings, as I found out....more to follow...

Scott, your enthusiasm for your Coupe and other fine automotive machinery is infectious and appreciated. What you have shared here, in the Copperstate videos, remind us of why we love driving our Coupes. The session with the Maserati specialist who knew his way around Weber carburetors, was...

Well, just my opinion, but my observation of your Coupe projects usually shows an all-in, let's-get-it all-done-while-I-am-in -there, approach. What we may be witnessing here is a "maturity" level in the area of ...well, is the hypothetical, incremental...

I have 3 parts from under the wheel to show. 1 is the slip ring, then the wires under the wheel and the other is the cancelling ring as shown below :

How long have you owned this car? Do you know its repair history? Age of water pump? If this car is new to you, it is an excellent time for you to refresh the entire cooling system, flush radiator or rebuild it to 3 core status, and so on. Not that difficult, but very rewarding. As above, those...

Hey Chope, I used to experience the hard starting after my Coupe would sit as well. Also twin Weber 32/36 setup. After installing a fuel line check valve, some fuel would stay behind in the fuel line, closer to carbs, after car was parked. Was much easier to start if it sat a week or so. Not...

Well, it was a few years ago now, in the early 2000s, my wife and I were on a wine tour to Tuscany, and our return flight, via Lufthansa, was flying out of Siena. We were there on time, but the aircraft had some mechanical issue. We all had to deplane. They kept us informed. They were working on...
