Steering Column - Serious set back!
Andy, I am assuming your car is from Wintec and may be similar to my Total Performance car. Most of it was purchased back in 2004 and your pics of the floor, holes and column plate look similar to mine. The hole for the steering gear on your floor looks closer to the brake pedal slot that on... -
newly retired
Mickey, Glad to see you here. I pestered you and Brian with tons of questions in 2004 before I bought my kit. You cheerfully answered them all and I was very satisfied with my purchase. The car has been completed and on the road since December of 2007 and I've been grinning for over 6500+ miles...- WDP

HEI distributor
The show in Boerne is Oct 9, 10 and 11. I'm guessing Saturday is the main day. Some buddies go every year so we age going up Friday and plan to be there for the whole thing. Hope you make it. Dale- WDP

HEI distributor
I'm running the TP body and frame and have the same issue. I chose the Pertronix plug and play billet distributor that has the small, old time cap. Even with it I end up with only about an inch clearance but it has worked out ok. This is the only Pertronix unit I have any experience with. On...- WDP

Hello all, been awhile since I have posted on here. I usually browse everyday and when I'm about to ask a question someone beats me to it and I get all the information I need. I really appreciate all the expertise and experience this site has about our little obsessions. After a year and a half...- WDP

Question for Total Performance kit owners
Skullman, I have a TP car with the usual 350/350 combo and the stock starter as supplied fits fine, no issue there. Low mount alternator and the stock fuel pump connections are a little close. -
TEXAS - Pro-Hobbyist Street Rod and Custom Vehicle Bill
Yeah the driving restriction language does kind of suck. I think the benefit of this bill is that it states you can title a car as the year it most resembles not the year the build is completed. As it is now, it seems like it varys by county and this will provide a standard procedure for these... -
TEXAS - Pro-Hobbyist Street Rod and Custom Vehicle Bill
After reading the bill again I had some reservations about it and called Rep. Charlie Howard who is the author of the bill. As Blownt said a lot of guys run Antique plates and do not have any problem. The law on them states you can only drive in parades, exibitions, club activities and to and... -
TEXAS - Pro-Hobbyist Street Rod and Custom Vehicle Bill
Called all the folks on the list today and as I understand it was passed out of committee with broad support. Still has to be voted on. My take is that it will streamline titiling and licensing in Texas. If someone builds a car in 2009 it can be licensed as the year it most resembles (23... -
Easy turn signals
Great wiring job! I've been running the same module for about a year and it works good I'm using a spring loaded center off switch instead of two pushbutton switches. Just a momentary push left or right and you're good to go. The only thing, I can't turn on the four ways with this setup but you... -

TexasT, My car has the standard body. It sounds like you have the column for a bench seat car as it seats you higher. I got my kit in April of 04 and licensed in December of 07. Have about 4600 miles on it now so I'm going to take a look at the pitman per donsrods info. -

TexasT, My column is 22" from the base to the top of the tube measured on the top side of the tube. -
Total Perf. interior
If I remember correctly they supply a shorter column and shaft when you order the insert vs the bench seat. The insert seats you a little bit lower than the bench. I am 5'11 and with my setup I can rest my arm on the edge of the body and hold the wheel at about 7 o'clock. I'll measure the column... -
Total Perf. interior
TexasT, There should be a hole in the bottom of each seat that you can drop the bolt through to go into the rubber well nut in the frame or you may have to drill it yourself. You can us a socket with a magnetic insert on an extension to hold the bolt when you drop it in. The support block under... -
Total Perf. interior
TexasT, I have the Total insert in my car but I had them install it before they shipped the body because I wasn't too sure about my fiberglassing skills. I don't have the upholstry kit for it yet ($$$). Just sitting on a gel center wheel chair seat pad. If you go out to the FAQ section on... -
Hello from N.Y.
Welcome, glad you decided to drop in! Lots of excellent knowledge on this site! My car is a TP kit that I purchased from them and got on the road in 07. 4200+ miles as of last night. I got the basic kit with the frame welded and drilled for all the mounts. All suspension brackets were welded to...- WDP
