If I had the money and time to get it, that is one heck of a deal... Love the Wolfsburg knockoff spinner caps.

Marker lights... Hmm If you don't want to do fabricating and something simple and quick, my suggestion would have to be if you have a nearby salvage yard, find an '87-'90 dodge Dakota pickup. Pull the headlight benzyl, and there are two screws that hold the turn signals in place. They were the orange color in '87, '88, and part of '89, switched to clear in '89 and '90
I know they fit almost perfect in the front of the GT, and they look like they should fit in the GT-II just as well.

Instead of the one large tank, what about two smaller ones hidden under the fenders. Use one as primary, and one as reserve... have lines run to a shutoff before a T fitting, then back to the carb(s).
No meaning to jump he gun, but do you have any ideas for headlight(s) yet? It would be interesting to see a hideaway setup to keep the look going like the GTII... Maybe units fom Ford Probe, Mazda Miata, or Dodge Daytona?

I was thinking of a different brake setup as mine went out again. (the seals for the fluid inlet are shot in the n.o.s. master i had so much headache benchbleading last year...)
I have a mostly stock 68 singleport 1500 (vac adv distrbutor) - would I need to get a vacuume pump and reconfigure the pully system ad run a hardline fom back to front to run powerbrakes, or just have a small electric moter powered vac pump up front?
Please post pics when your doing it if you can.

i also got one off ebay last year, it was set to the correct time when i opened it. i thought the band was a cheap quality from the lack of weight, but it has proven to be a good buy. this person also does sports teams, brand logos, various car shots (such as speedo/steering wheel/wheel&tire/ect)
still a more enjoyable buy than selection in most stores.

Most auto stores have lights that will work on the trailer section... if you have a tractor supply i know they have them, napa, i got mine with led and chrome rims at parts plus... lots of options, you may need to trim a little fiberglass if the hole is uneven. when i swiched mine it looked like they drilled a ton of holes for the circle and used a hack saw or file...
if you have a truck stop nearby, they would have the nicer options that i have seen.

I never used photobucket before, but I know on facebook if I move a pic from one place to a new folder, it creates a new link... making the old one no good. Same with backgrounds on your computer screen, if you change the location of the pic (moving folders), you have to update the background info to the new location. Thats all I can help with, sorry it can't be more.

You may also want to find the VW chassis # and then apply for lost title for a modified VW. It will save headache when it comes time for insurance being titled as VW vs "assembled"

That is wicked! skip, do you still have your extra Subby parts collecting dust? this looks like it would keep you busy for a while after the GT IIs are done.

I've had several people try racing me on my way home from work during the summer... First let me say I work in a college town and I have to drive by campus where spoiled babies during summer were runnin NEW Challengers, Cameros, Mustangs, GT-Rs, Vettes, Eclipses., even a Viper.. you name it, they had it. The funny thing is nearly EVERYONE that tried to race me got pulled over by Campus or city DPS and the cops were checking my car out, but never had a reason to pull me over. Now, if they ever ran my plate and saw its a Historical plate then they would. Thank goodness Michigan just changed the look and coloration of the Historic Plates to look like regular yearly plates.

Wow, have I ever missed a lot of whats been going on in Bradley Land  ... I don't have internet at home anymore, and my phone won't access the site anymore (one of only 5 websites that it won't access for some reason) so its been a while since I've been able to keep updated with everything that is going on  . After 2 hours, I'm still going threw all the stuff I've missed. You all have been busy from the look of things. Just had a mini heat wave here in Michigan (in the mid 60's) and it was VERY tempting to get the Silver B-GT beast out of the barn, but I know there is already salt on the road and I DO NOT want to drive in that crap. The Blue B-GT chassis is taking longer to rebuild than planned, it just didn't want to balance correctly, kept on cutting metal off here, welding more on there, and when it looked good with the body set on, guess what... I forgot to change the shocks before I started on the frame. All were bad to some point (but all at different levels of crappyness), and with the new ones on, well think of a hot-wheels car after the axle is bent, no matter how much you try, you just can't fix it. well same goes with this, I am just about done cutting out my work and getting ready to restart. Lesson well learned, start with a true level surface! Well, until I get back on again, Happy fiscal cliff... and Merry Christmas! ;D |

I printed off most of what I could back when you first found out about it. I should have saved it instead. It makes a good reference book for future use!

Now this is a rear window extension!  I haven't seen a pic of that Bradley for a quite a few years. The first pic I ever saw of a bradley was this one parked next to an elise. |

Did anyone notice the Jaguar emblem on the front? and it also appears that he cut up the Bradley license plate frame to make an emblem for the rear and has a $5 plastic frame for the plate. I agree on the lack of bracing, and WHAT THE FUDPUCKER was he thinking with those toggle switches being different like that. I can see the good in the covered one, but that red color... thats a $7 item at autozone, and the color fades within a year, have one on my lawn tractor.
If anyone buys it, I wish them luck... They are gonna need it.

Where is it cracked? I'm toying with another idea which would involve cutting into the back glass and adding an overhead air scoop... like a baja, then have ram air to my duals.

The Halo lights are a nice touch, as are the bmw style fender louvers, nice flow to it. I have to ask, is there a ducting setup under the hood to direct air flow and dump dibris to the side?
