two2go 9 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 Whoa, it looks like everyone has cashed in their chips. Am I the only one left who still has their Duke-Jag? We are back in Colorado for the summer. The weather is finally looking promising (sorry to all the Texans). I'm ready to roll (see my thread). Well Bruce, if this is it, let me know when you are ready to turn off the lights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cadillac Jim 183 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'm not speaking for Bruce, but it's not gonna happen. These guys are turning the new owners on to Caddyinfo's Duke board. And, you should be telling others about it too. One way is to but a link in your e-mail signature block, http://caddyinfo.ipbhost.com/index.php?showforum=95 I suggest embedding the link into text, as in: Duke Board on Caddyinfo.com Quote -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.

Martin Monaco 3 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I'm still here..... Progress on the Duke has slowed to a halt, due to a divorce (Mine) but it will be started on again, when the dust has settled, in about 2 months from now. ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

two2go 9 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 I'll hang around and add my email as C.Jim suggests. Bruce, what about a Facebook group for Classic Roadster replicas...maybe a bit bigger population than just Dukes? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Nunnally 366 Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Up to you, but certainly you guys are welcome to stay here. If you create a Facebook group we can link to it from this subforum as well.

Martin Monaco 3 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 For those with Facebook, I'm starting to post teaser update photos of the Duke, here : https://www.facebook.com/cyberfooks/posts/484228761733887:0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Nunnally 366 Posted August 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 Lol I hate teasers, but they do work to build interest Quote Bruce 2016 Cadillac ATS-V gray/black; 2013 Cadillac ATS 2L Turbo Premium (Wife's) Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to post Share on other sites

two2go 9 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I could use a new windshield frame. Does anyone know anything about the original Duke windshields; whether they were from another car of if any even exist on Planet Earth? I'm also looking into a refinish or replating, but mine is pretty pitted. And chrome plating seems to be a lost art thanks to the EPA. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Nunnally 366 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Check with these guys too http://www.mgmagicclassicmotorparts.com/ Some of those type parts were re-used or common among similar cars. I would also consider swapping for a brooklands windscreen :-) http://www.mgmagicclassicmotorparts.com/windshield-complete-assembly-parts-sold-separately-gazelle-ssk/ Quote Bruce 2016 Cadillac ATS-V gray/black; 2013 Cadillac ATS 2L Turbo Premium (Wife's) Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to post Share on other sites
two2go 9 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 The Brooklands screen would add a bit more authenticity, but I need the regular windshield frame with the groove on the top to connect the convertible top into. And if I did the Brooklands, then I would want to get a 4-spoke steering wheel and get regular fenders or fill in the side mount holes and put a spare on the back and get 19" wheels and paint it racing green and ... and ... (Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Nunnally 366 Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I wanted the fold-down version w brooklands screens behind it, although I am not certain how well that worked in real life on the SS-100(!). I think I priced out authentic SS-100 wheels+tires at US$8k Quote Bruce 2016 Cadillac ATS-V gray/black; 2013 Cadillac ATS 2L Turbo Premium (Wife's) Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to post Share on other sites
two2go 9 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Here are a couple of nice Dukes. The white one has the authentic look and a real Jag inline 6. The blue one has an outstanding dash. Sweet inspiration. Blue Duke White Duke Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Nunnally 366 Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Very nice. The actual original SS-90s used a Standard engine, in the SS-100 modified fm side-valve to OHV w a new cylinder head (but I understand the appeal of a Jag engine) Quote Bruce 2016 Cadillac ATS-V gray/black; 2013 Cadillac ATS 2L Turbo Premium (Wife's) Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to post Share on other sites
