It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

Gas tank cover
When I brought my truck home it had the back (with louvers) from a kitchen stove to cover the gas tank. Would have looked good if done right. Material was too thin.

Uncle Bob, you got wayyy too much time on your hands! I love that coupe in the first picture, it's got character what with that non-chopped roof. Also, I love that grille shell. Ya know, I think you got Collecto-mania BAD. Fun to read your posts. Have fun. PerleyToo old to work, Too poor to quit.

I like the grill, it fits the stance with the body and old style front brakes, very cool Bob."Sunshine, a street rod and a winding beautiful Ozarks road is truely Bliss!"

Nice use of the louvered panels. And nice stance of the project too! That grill does remind me of some old tractor grills, and it sets off the car nicely. I know what you mean about the stash pile in and around the garage. My wife is constantly reminding me of why are you keeping this. It never fails when I need a part or a chunk of something to fabricate a tool or whatever, that I take the opportunity to impress on her the financial rewards of junk!

Sorry Lamin8r,
I didn't mean to imply that I thought Bob's grill was from a Fordson, I think it is from a Oliver tractor but could be wrong.Just saying I liked the Fordson too.

Bob, that clean garage is nauseating. Throw a few boxes of parts around, will ya? You're making me feel bad. Seriously, those are some great looking new toys for the toybox.

My sponsor went awol, so I fell off the wagon again. Hey, those frame rails above needed a body to go on top, right?This ol' beast has been off the road since 1961. The bottoms of the quarters and the rear wheel well panels have a little cancer at the bottom, but the drip rails, subrails, the door bottoms and rear quarter corners are cherry. Even more amazing (for a model A) is the cowl bottoms aren't eaten through! Someone put a nicely crowned roof filler in it sometime in it's past, so I might just keep that. Between what's in the trailer, and in the back of the truck, there's actually a complete car here. (same ol' story, been passed from owner to owner in pieces over the years) Looks like I'll be selling off a bunch of stock parts to help pay for the rest of the build.
