Thread: brookville experience

Always exciting to get new toys.

Based on some of your earlier posts I thought I'd drop a suggestion in here while it's early in the bodywork phase if you hadn't already planned to do this. And this isn't a rap on Brookville (I'll leave that for Dave ). Brookville builds their bodies to emulate Henry's originals, which is to say they're a bit flexible. If you plan on keeping the car and using it as much as practical you might want to reinforce it inside. A cowl hoop will reduce the dreaded cowl shake, and give you a more solid spot to mount the steering column and whatever else under the dash. And then the rear of the passenger compartment to firm up from the B pillars back. Here's a pic of what SAR does when they assemble a B'ville body for reference, but it can be done with round or square tube as well. The idea is to tie together the two sides.
