    I saw your Vicky at Tim's shop. Very nice ride. I envy the space inside . . . but then, I just HAD to have a channeled coupe.

    Jack, I think you over engineered the deck lid prop rod for strength...........you could get by with something a bit thinner.

    Good progress, it'll be nice to have her back on the road eh?

    Maybe one from Rocky? Universal Hood Or Trunk Prop This is what I used on the '33, and I'll be ordering one for the roadster one of these days.

    I've been puzzling over the trunk prop for some time now. However, the "unconventional" placement of wood in the trunk by "he who shall not be named" caused me problems here also. It's on my list, but not quite at the top.

    Jack, I bolted a flat plate to the trunk drip rail, for the bottom, and screwed the top plate to the inner liner. Worked pretty slick.

    Roger, Since I didn't think of that before the upholstery, I'm going to go with a 3' aluminum prop rod that will fold over flat along the back edge of the trunk.

    Jack, that'll work! I started to tell you that you could do it without any problems to the interior, but then I noticed that your trunk panels are down from the lip, leaving a void between the panel and the body. I did my panels to fit out against the inside of the body panel, giving me about another foot of width and leaving the trunk gutter exposed for mounting the bottom of the folding prop from the gutter.

    I didn't want to . . .

     



    . . . but Texas made me. Around Dallas, they've been enforcing the two-plate rule. I hated putting a front plate on this grille, but I couldn't figure another way to do it.

    Jack, can you make a bracket that bolts on with the lower coil over bolt and mount the plate in front of the axle tube sort of? We have the same darn front plate law and I'm going to have to put mine on my fender of my 40.

    I looked at that possibility, but then all of the bracketry was hanging out in view. I've got it bolted on solid this way, and that's where it's going to stay - at least for a while.

    It never rains in Texas in July - apparently except when I'm taking my coupe to the shop to have the A/C purged and filled. <sigh>
