OK! So you have an industrial machine with a "walking foot".:HMMM: That's what I wondered. Many years ago my wife (an accomplished seamstress and theater costumer) stitched the interior for my...

I'm enjoying watching this, too, Roger. Also, I'm learning. What kind of sewing machine are you using?

Now you guys are reminding me why I moved to Florida 41 years ago. Never been sorry for that move. It's "only" 70 degrees today; guess I'll change my tank top for a T-shirt before I go...

I hadn't got any notices about your progress, so I thought maybe you weren't doing much. Then yesterday (Saturday) I suddenly got a notice and i see I'm a couple of months behind! Weird... I have...

Hey! Those toe boards look just like mine! Did you sneak in my shop and steal them..??!!:eek::mad:.. Oh.., mine are still here:HMMM:... never mind:o.. LOL!:D

Seriously, those look just like...

Lookin' good Roger! For some reason I haven't been getting updates on your postings until yesterday... Anyway, this is the first I've seen of your roadster with the top on it - very nice.:)

You...

When I was a teenager (over half a century ago), I once watched the local gas station owner (old time place that had a grease pit; no lift) heat a stubborn tie rod end on a truck with a torch to get...

Definitely a good choice. Dark colored wheels with black wall tires need something for contrast at the rim. I've had the rings on my '31 since I built it.:HMMM::3dSMILE:

Protect the frame and lay the hood on there. It will tell you instantly where adjustments need to be made.:HMMM: Is there a spacer behind the fan? On my '31 coupe I had to modify the alternator...

I'll get a good look at it tomorrow.:HMMM: Mine didn't come with the fill adapter, so I'll have to make one.:rolleyes: One of the vendors had a bunch of them in a box for $20 ea. and my transmission...

I got one just like that at the Daytona Turkey Run last year. I didn't realize I could shorten it. I think I'll pull it off and cut it. It's longer than I'd like and I haven't mounted the top end...

Parts jockey: "Does that have power steering? Does it have air conditioning? Is that a two-door or four? Is it a hatchback? 15 or 17 inch wheels?"
Me: "It's a small block Chevy. They're all the...

I use the white silica sand. It is often sold as "play sand" for kids' sandboxes. it's coarse and the grains have sharp edges. I've been told it's actually crushed granite..?

I have a plastic...

I had one like that I bought brand new at the Daytona Turkey Run when I was building my Model-A coupe. I got it to use on the rear end housing, front axle, etc. I could blast a spot about 3 x 4...

When I built my Track-T I used round tubing for the frame. It was actually black iron well pipe which has a sort of varnish coating on the outside. It sands off fairly easy on small pieces,.. but a...

I wouldn't be afraid to use it.:) I know you aren't going to put it UNDER the frame rail, so I don't see how a rock could ever get to it. If it did, it would likely just dent it. A rock big enough to...

...or used on the next build, or given to a friend, or sold at the next swap meet for 20% of what you paid for it originally.:rolleyes::o:whacked:

Ah! OK, I understand now. I thought you were pitching the gauges out, but you were referring to the other bezel. VDO gauges are good stuff!

Since we brought them up, in case anyone wonders - I...

I like that bezel, too.:) Why are you ditching the Dolphin gauges? Don't they fit this bezel?:confused:

I wish I had seen this trick before I did my column. It looks great, Roger. Simple but effective.:3dSMILE:

The column in my '32 put up a fight; everyone can read about it on my build thread. I...

Roger and everyone - I also spend some time on my back under my car and even with it sitting on the wheel dollies it was a close fit.:HMMM: I saw these supports on one of the cable TV car shows, so I...

I like the bezel now that I've seen it with the gauges in it. The black ring around the gauges is a nice contrast to the polished aluminum.:cool:

Chase looks like he has assumed the position of...

Glad to see you posting, Roger.:3dSMILE: Doing the build thread on my Track-T helped keep me working on it even though I had hundreds of interruptions. Same thing is happening with my '32; if I...
