Hey, thanks, Ryan! Everything else is a roller coaster ride but it's all good..

Would love to be making things happen more quickly on this car. I enjoy all the updates on yours. Before this 37 I had a 39 tudor, which is very much like yours.

Hey Randy I think I am right behind you a few cars on the coaster !! Work is going to implement a AWS which is a alternative work schedule , would mean working a 3 day week at 12 hours a day . The next week a 4 day at 10 hour days . Talk about screwing up a pattern , they say it gives us off a total of 76 more days a year . That only means the company doesn't have to pay overtime anymore .

Also means family time gets stepped on when you have to work every other week end . Also down side is a lot of toy cash slips away .

We are all working on how the brakes will work on this ride thru the trials .

Bobby, I'm thinking that even with your new work schedule you'll still be ahead of me on progress. I haven't had a chance to get out to the garage for a few days but I'm still contemplating how I'm gonna make a shrinking disc from something I have laying around. We'll see what happens....

Randy I haven't hit the car in a few weeks . Spring time chores caught up with me .
We may be running side by side on these . I did get the Centari to cut in pre assembly painting though .

While there I was parked in the street inside looking at all the eye candy and some one drove by smashing the drivers mirror on my truck . . One more job I have to get done , sure is hard to see thru duct tape .

Hey there's a marketing idea.....chrome duct tape with a mirror like reflection!!! It would sell like hotcakes for taping up broken mirror, rusty bumpers, etc. Heck, it might even work for chrome trip replacement!

Ask and you shall receive...

I could have used that Rich !!!! Might have made them little cars hard to see though .

Crap!! Somebody beat us to it!!!

Its always like that just under the bar .

There is a certain element that uses it a lot, but the price they pay for it they might as well chrome it...

Don't let the redneck youngsters see that stuff! It'll be every where! Happy Easter to you guys by the way!

Well I am all up for seeing some update on this lid Randy ! I am ready mentally for some horse work to knock it out and get to the next one .

After the 31 which may work also , but the design in your 37 pedals wants to be copied by me for mine .

Hey Bobby, I wish I had some updates on the lid but I don't. I've been consumed with work & taxes! Hopefully I'll make some headway soon! Will keep you posted.

Of course you're welcome to copy my pedal design whenever you're ready. My biggest concern is routing the exhaust around the power booster, etc.

We know heat and brake lines are not good , Think about running them down the center on each side of the drive shaft .
