    Ken - I'm curious as to how you found the SS to bend and form. What grade is it? I haven't used much of it ever but I do recall the guys in the tin shop (GE large motors) didn't like using it to make fan blades and parts that needed to be bent and when I was foreman, those parts were always late.

    Dave - It really didn't seem that much different. The material is 304.

    That 5 window "A" is awesome but two questions.... I wonder how comfortable those bomber seats are??? And how will the driver see clearly with that LARGE steering wheel??? okay I understand that it matches the style of the car, but in my humble opinion,why build something that one can't drive safely and or comfortably.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    Thanks Ken - I know that some grades of SS are really tough to work. 304 and 304L are about the easiest with the 316 and 316L a bunch tougher to use. I'll be watching the progress with lots of interest

    Whiplash - I'm in the process of putting some upholstered bomber seats in my '31 and removing my nice Glide Engineering for a couple of reasons - to get me lower so my head is below the top of the windshield and my dunlap a bit further from the steering wheel and also so I can more easily get my US size 12 feet on the pedals

    Started tacking the frame rails together today. This is going to take some time, it's a very slow process to keep everything straight. I have used SS before for some projects but never at this scale. I had to put these braces in every few inches as I tacked it to keep everything square.
    In the last photo you can see the shape of the rail starting to show.
