Hello to all,
Really enjoy your forum and chats. I am a new member and a recent buyer as I found a CMC C from the original owner in MD that was built as a turn-key, not by CMC but by an outfit they reccomended in Ohio that went bankrupt in 89 or so. The original owner of this car played hell getting it out of there when the bank padlocked the place. Had a few questions I might pose to you all. Anybody know of this outfit and or it's build quality? Car has a mere 2900 miles on the clock, runs incredibly well, dual down draft webbers, brazilian block, 2.75 ltr engine with 0401 heads? I am assuming this is a goood thing. (Sorry but I am former mustang guy) Has some butt ugly period wheels that I want to upgrade. It is a 4 lug, carmen ghia front discs. Champion axle? Would like to upgrade to either a stock wider look or a 16-17 inch wheel? Any input (Size and offset) would be great. Trying to fill thefender wells but not rub...Lastly, where do you find purpose built spares for these? Right now the horn goes off when you turn the steering wheel, gas guage inop and you need 3 feet to push on the brakes to stop it. Owner claimed it was always a very heavy brake pedal. Cheers to all. (PS Sorry i misplaced this thread in the classified section.. I am new....)

David, you are in Speedster crafter central there! Alan (drclock) Merklin, aka Merklin the Magician, is in Chambersburg, and Wild Bill Drayer is close by. Not too far away in NJ are Al Shapiro, Rocky Cimbrec, and Max Zimmer. A little further down in the DC/Baltimore are you have Cory Drake, Kelly Frazer, and Bruce Stump. I believe that there are others nearby, but I can't remember who.

And since I haven't seen anyone else say this yet, "Welcome to the Madness!!!"
Yo Vince: You need to send that one to Jay Leno!! He has a "Headlines" gig he does most Mondays where stuff like this, and a whole lot more, is put up. He'd have a lot of fun w/ this one.

PS: david, welcome to the madness. It will be fun. Hope to see your car and you too along the way. This Saturday might be a good one to try. Just Google map "Dewalt's RVs" and find them just off 33 in Easton PA. That is the spot.
