    Ken that roof is so well supported he must be crazy! If you could stand on it, it's strong enough!

    I know, he is a fanatic. He really doesn't like working on top of someone's work. So he wants the last say before he starts on it. Everything is a reflection of his work, so I understand and do what he asks. He is really good at what he does.

    Wow! That is a thing of beauty! I wonder if Ken would entertain a free apprentice for an indeterminate period of time? I think that I could learn soooo much just being a quiet mouse in the corner, or being the shop gofer/live clamp to hold things in position while the master works! The chassis looks wonderful!

    Heck it is going to be a shame to put the body over that beautiful frame. I appreciate you posting for us Bob as Ken is the one of two that I miss the most due to his outstanding workmanship. That is going to be a top notch car when finished and if I remember correctly, the car was so he and Tina could take friends out in it so it will get used out on the street.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    Ken just sent these pics to me of his 32 sedan, which is entered in GNRS, I figured I'd post them on his thread here(I've asked in the past and he didn't mind!)

    Such a shame that Ken decided to leave this site as not only was he and his lovely wife really nice folk, his workmanship is absolutely mind blowing. What a fantastic car in every sense.

    And his posts were always interesting. Why DID he leave? Anybody know? And why did Don "Itoldyouso" leave? I miss their interesting threads...
