Greetings from Cleveland and the winter that never was (yet, anyway):
Well the California Special restoration is going as well as can be expected given the weather and the fact that the garage isn't heated, but the gas tank is all Re-nu'd (now with a lifetime guarantee...I can never figure out who's life... mine, the car's, or the shop's), carbs all redone, brake, clutch and slave cylinders rebuilt, new brakes, shocks, 'stat, belts....you get the idea. Found the key. Ready for an oil fill and fire up...as soon as I thaw out my hands. Maybe I'll just wait until my parts arrive from Oliver, and visit the chrome plater. Anyway, I digress. Here's the deal...Way back when, during the times that the sport car scene was ruled by the likes of MGAs, TR2s, XK120s, Daimler, Renault, and all the rest of the cars that have disappeared (the 122 was hardly seen as a 'sports car'), a popular upgrade for the smaller displacement engines was a bolt on supercharger kit manufactured by Judson out of Pennsylvania. For cryin' out loud, they even made one for a VW! There was a kit made for the 122 as well. I'm looking to supercharge the old Swede, and would like to keep it as true to period as possible. Anyone have pieces parts or a complete set up they'd like to get rid of? Any help on locating a supplier since Judson is no longer with us? Thanks, as always.
Brad
