Driving around Michigan on the CCCA Museum tour………..lots of fun.

Sorting out some electrical issues on a '76 MGB today.
Does anyone know what the extension cord connects to?
It's not on any wiring diagram I have. 🤪

When I was a kid I had  little interest in the VW Beetle. Then my two uncles each got one and souped them up with crazy early 70s paint jobs. Have liked them ever since. Out to breakfast this morning in western Michigan and came out of the restaurant and spotted these two. Oval window blue car is mid 50s? Beige car is later. Can anybody guess more accurate years?

Here we go, one step forward and two steps back on the 1911 T
I cleaned and chased the threads in all the head bolt holes, then checked to be sure the bolts threaded in fine. All good.
New bolts arrived, tried to thread the new bolts into the block and four are having issues. Looks like I have to repair some threads. The holes have all been heli-coiled once and it appears that rust has gotten behind the heli-coil and caused it to shrink the diameter of the insert. New inserts are on order and I should be able to dig the old ones out with a pick.
Magneto coil installed. You can see the shims to set the coil height behind the coil frame.
Set the transmission on the crankshaft and check the clearance between the magnets and the field coils. Clearance should be between 0.025" and 0.040" I've got it set within those dimensions.Oil tube installed. The little aluminum scoop feeds oil picked up by the flywheel into the tube and down to the front of the engine to the timing gears and front main bearing.
Bolts are safety wired.

Just a McLaren loaded up on a yatch. Unbelievable.

Audi's Nuvolari concept, a mid-engined plug-in hybrid supercar packing a twin-turbo V8 and nearly 1,000 horsepower. It's the successor to the R8, borrowing its bones from Lamborghini’s Temerario. 0-62 mph in just 2.6 seconds. Production limited to 499 cars. I love the styling. I'm wondering if this will be the actual production look.

Some people restore cars. Others preserve a culture.

Ground Level Garage in Brooklyn is keeping vintage Japanese cars alive the old-school way, with carburetors, community, late nights in the shop, and a deep respect for automotive history.

A great new film from Petrolicious. Watch it. 🎥 🇯🇵 🚗

I just learned that there was a coach builder in Mexico from 1950-1955, DM Nacional. Interesting looking roadster here. Anyone know any details on these? What was the chassis and drivetrain?
