I had a little extra time this last week end to work on my sedan. My plan was to have the guy that does the finish work and paint to come over and do the final body work (fix any of my screw ups) and get the sedan primed from the belt line up. So he comes over and tells me the roof isn't rigid enough, it needs more bracing. I didn't tell him that I stood on it the other day to put a box away He has saved me many times before so I listen to him. I added more bracing and glued everything together. I'll see what he thinks Sat.

Ken that roof is so well supported he must be crazy! If you could stand on it, it's strong enough!" "No matter where you go, there you are!" Steve.

Thanks Don, I finally got all the brackets tacked on the new rear end. Now I will pull it out and weld it all up and stick it back in. I'm going to detail it while it's out and paint the axle tubes. Then I can put the brakes on it and it will be ready for the test ride some day

Don't get too excited..............Ken hasn't returned.............he still hates this newest format............but.....................he did send me some pics of the chassis finally at completion, so enjoy!Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

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!Roger
Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

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.

Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
