1962 Corvette headed home this week after repairs and tuning to the fuel injection system. Vacuum leaks led to base settings being way off. All corrected now, and running properly. This one had no trouble climbing the hill! #ProperNoise #1962corvette #fueliecorvette #mechanicalfuelinjection #rochesterfuelinjection #mountpenn #readingpa

In raw but running form, the S2000 Healey is headed to California tomorrow for Conclave 2021. We had the week to install most of the interior and trim, and get through the first phase of mechanical sorting. Thanks to those tagged - this is a weapon!

A small selection from The Greenbrier 2021 last weekend. Very proper!

The dash conversion on the 2019 Morgan 3.7 Roadster is completed. The owner took delivery of this car last year and just didn't like the Ford switchgear and gauges Morgan used to keep the ECU happy with the Ford powertrain. He wanted a more vintage look, so we designed and built this custom dash in-house out of a nice piece of cherry, with a hand rubbed finish. The gauges are modern Smiths reproductions, each running a standalone sender to allow the original gauges to remain connected and operational in a drop down panel under the dash. The switches are a mix of Triumph and Jaguar, modified to operate the relay systems. #ProperNoise #morganroadster #smithsgauges #custommade @morganmotor #mountpenn #readingpa

1924 Dodge Brothers at the shop for a major winter overhaul. Tire/wheel service, cooling system, brakes, and tuning. Low mileage and very original. #ProperNoise #dodgebrothers #1924 #propermotoring #mountpenn #readingpa

Thanks for the visit Eastwood!

The pieces are starting to come together on the 1957 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce drivetrain project. LBI Limited asked us to restore these matching numbers components. Broken internals and years of neglect, plus the general unavailability of early 750 series parts has added to the challenge. Thankfully the rest of the components and castings are in beautiful condition, so it's going to be a great engine and gearbox when finished. #ProperNoise #restoration #alfaromeo #spiderveloce #moldexcrankshaft #weberbologna #dco3 #vaporhoning #mountpenn #readingpa

The Volvo jobs both went home today. We serviced the overdrive on the P1800, and installed a rebuilt speedometer in the PV544. #ProperNoise #volvo #volvop1800 #volvopv544 #mountpenn #readingpa @ Proper Noise
