Child of the '70s is interested in finding info/providers of the popular '70s kits/parts like the 40 Ford front deck lid, full coupe body and the Rollswagen. I have a '71 SB that I want to build into a 1 off keeper. Any info would bee appreciated!

Dear Child
T.V.A. in Brea California has at least part of the Rolls kit (the hood) hanging from the rafters and may sell it to a good home. He too is a Child of the 70's Call Randy at 714-792-3975. Tell him Bob Miller from Riverside told you about the part(s)
Good Luck...

Crimson_Axe (Ken):
I lost track of the thread on your engine. Do you have it now? Installed?
(And to the original poster - if you call the fellow at BGW be patient. He might be qualifying you as a buyer. Much of his work is done by specialist subcontractors. This is a good thing, and perhaps the reason he's managed to stay in business for a very long time.)

Hey John, Jake had to take the engine back apart because of a balancing problem but it should be back together soon. They are re-wiring the car now.

Ah, now I remember - the famous building shake on the dyno episode. That's very unusual. But great things are worth waiting for. With luck you will be on the road soon. (And me, too.)
Happy Holidays, Happy New Year!
