    Helping Father-in-law

     



    I'm visiting my Father-in-Law, and am going to try to help him do some work on a '31 Chevy Coach.

    Personally, I have been out of the car scene since I married 10-years ago.

    My projects include mechanical repairs, and replacement, some suspension rework (progressive rate springs), smaller color change paint jobs, minor body work, and a frame on restoration, including engine rebuild of a 73 MG midget.

    Yup, gone years ago. Keeping the Lucas carbs syncronized was a bear. Great car though! A lot of fun to drive!

    Thanks for the support! I'm was only in town for a week, and am heading back. We re-positioned the body, and the door bottoms are still a mystery. We did get to spend a bit of time on the car though!
