Hello Perley! It's really great to hear from you; it's been a long time.:HMMM: I still have, on my computer, the pictures you sent me of the Essex under construction. The frame is a really nice...

Steve - I learned about 35 years ago that shoes are a requirement when welding even if you're stark nekkid otherwise.:HMMM: I wear work boots and socks when I'm working in the garage. Not exactly a...

Perley - I think I like the fairing, too:3dSMILE:. Instead of welding it on, though, I would paint it to match the body and attach it with 4 button-head allen bolts. Not much weight or stress there,...

Larry,
The first step in posting a picture is to size it so it won't blow the column all out of shape.:rolleyes: 640 x 480 is just about perfect - big enough to be seen clearly, but not so big that...

Chevy started using the 5 on 4 3/4" pattern in 1949 and I know they were still using it at least up through 2004. Over the years they made millions of 14 and 15 inch wheels in various widths. Your 8"...

Hmmm... When I built my C-Cab years ago, I couldn't put the battery in the back because that was part of the interior and I couldn't put it out front anywhere (no room). I ended up putting it under...

Aha! Glad to see you back at it.:D I know what you mean about stuff piled in the car - since I've been doing home improvement projects, the roadster has been a "catch-all" for everything loose in the...

Not physically sick?..**) I used to think that people who suffered from depression or bipolar disorder just needed to "get over it" and stop feeling sorry for themselves.:( Then, about 15 years ago,...

My coupe is wired with 5 fused circuits. I used a corrosion resistant marine fuse block from ACE Hardware. It uses the old style fuses, but the screw terminals make it easy to work with. I have a...

UNPLANNED modification!:LOL::LOL::LOL: I gotta remember that since I tend to do a lot of them sometimes...:rolleyes::D

Heck, if that old carb works good, I'd leave it alone.:rolleyes: The Quadra-Jet carb on my coupe has been in continuous use on two different vehicles since it left the factory in 1978 and it's never...

I'm still here, Perley. I'll bet there are plenty of others out here who are watching, too. They're just being quiet...;)

OK, Perley. I know from our online conversations that things have been progressing on the Essex.:3dSMILE: How about some updates and pictures here?:rolleyes: It's been eight months...:eek:

Hi Perley! I recently saw a '28 or '29 Model-A that had a grille insert made of expanded aluminum mesh. Everything that was visible through the grille shell opening was painted flat black including...

Keep it comin' Perley, I'm really enjoying your build.:D:D Aren't your rod ends 1/2" instead of 3/8"?:HMMM:

For those who don't know, common rod ends are available ONLY in fine threads.;)

Yeah, Perley, keep the pics & explanations coming. Your thread is just beginning to find its audience. We all like build threads...:D

Hi Perley. I see you got your thread up & going. There are some pictures here I hadn't seen before... Your grille shell is probably a '28 (Model-A). The '29's were chromed from the factory; '28's...
