180 I am glad to see you are doing good and still around. You and I maybe the only ones who remember these cars.

This car has real sentimental value to me. Takes me back to my High School days. I do every thing I can to keep it on the road. I spend way more then it is worth to do that. It now cruises at a resonable rpm for a 1938 designed engine and cruises at modern highway speeds with the MGA rear I put in. I think it will Dyno this Thursday around 75 to 80 Hp. The weak link is the brakes. I need a little more stoping power the way cars cut in front and put on their brakes. The gas gauge is a stick in the tank and has a idiot light with 2gals left. With the supercharger I need to run high test. Working on designing turn signals, flashers and brake lights you can see from a SUV.

It is a great ice cream and grocery getter. It was and still is a great car to learn how to wrench and drive on. Teaching my grandson how to rebuild a spare engine this summer.

Even the wind shield folds down and yes it has wood floor boards and yes the body like the Morgan has a wood frame. That took some work rebuilding that. You need to be both a carpenter and a mechanic to own one.

It will someday become the model T of the 50s. You will not see many on the roads. Very much like the Crossfire only about 60,000 built. But for this old guy, it has more memories and more enjoyment then my modern roadsters.

Funny I need a complete set of Whitworth sockets and wrenches to work on it. Sure the new ones are fast but the number of thumbs up I get in these old cars can not compare to the modern cars. It even has push pull start and a positive ground radio that you can only hear when it is not moving. Only issue is that I am starting to run out of AM stations. I rarely use the side curtains anymore unless I get caught in a storm.

Any thoughts on the rotor issue?
