    Been playing around with trying to decide if the 30 coupe should move ahead of the 28 roadster and take over the already built chassis. So I took the roadster body off the chassis and dropped the coupe on. It was okay, but the pinch in the frame at the cowl is better suited to the narrower cowl of the '28 than the '30, so back off with the coupe and back on with the roadster. The rails on the floor will become the '30 chassis, with a milder pinch more in keeping with the cowl of the coupe. Working alone requires relying on equipment to lift the body, especially the heavier coupe. Now it's on a rolling platform designed to keep the body square for the chop to come.

    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.
