    Hey Gang
    Still loving my Roadster, I have changed it bit by bit until I have it right now, where I want it, its been a long haul and even though she still idles a little high until you tap the pedal, she is a great Nostalgic Hot Rod that I love driving. Cant thank you all for input and help along the way but thanks to all for steering me towards parts or places to get work sorted.

    She runs pretty good, has the usual jumping out of second gear but I love my AV8. copy1.JPG

    Impressive car and impressive credentials, Carpy... Welcome to the left coast, where the surf's up and the cars are...'Down'!
    Very 'Just right' roadster, all the right stuff. Custom made for a 'Jalopnik'!

    The Roadster is sitting well but I need to get a Bop Top, question is I want to get a seat upholstered that Rolls over the rear of panel a little, will a bop top work? copy8.JPG
