    Silverado 2024 - Orange County, California

    Friday was a warm, sunny day. Saturday had weather more typical of Bristol. We all ate and drank too much and then left for home Sunday morning.

Being a ‘67 and under Split Window group. :mad: However, there are always a few Early Bays for sale along with lots of parts...

    Superior knobs

    No, I am not calling you a knob, it’s just that I obtained one of the knobs manufactured by Daz Kamper in Lincolnshire. At the time, I was reluctant to buy the whole set because I couldn’t afford it. But now, I want to buy the whole set but their domain name hasn’t been renewed. Is Daz Kamper...

    The nerdiest parts ever.

    I replaced vital, important parts today! The engine lid support? It has that metal rod which rides on two, little, metal wheels? I replaced my little, metal wheels today, and I’m chuffed. Here are some FAQs: “Were the old ones broken?” No, they worked fine, even 50 years later. “Then why did...

    Vent plate differences?

    Odd question: Is the vent plate (behind the walkthrough area mat) the same size on all Baywindow models (T2a and T2b)? The reason that I ask is that the stainless steel ones that are available in the UK add shipping charges of £30 over here to the Colonies. There is a source over here, but it...
