I spent almost all day Saturday (10-28) in the shop messing with a few different pieces...:rolleyes:

I had started making patterns for the door panels a few days previous, so I went back to that. ...

After I finished with the starter, I installed the new brake pedal. I originally had a round one (visible in some earlier pictures), but I didn't like the feel of it. I don't know why, it just...

I received the new high-torque starter on Wednesday (Oct 18). Finally got to install it on Sunday. Wow! What a difference. It engages and cranks this big block with no grinding or crunching...

Thank you. Yes, it's not bad. Both fixes were pretty straightforward.:rolleyes:

Now I'm fighting a problem with the starter.:mad: It bucks and drags and sounds terrible. I shimmed it one way -...

Well, I haven't been here for a while, so I need to do an update. That first test-drive alerted me to a couple of things that needed attention. First, the steering had too much play in it. All the...

Ah, how right you are, Roger. The day after my last post I set the console in the car, plugged it in, and everything works as it's supposed to.:D Small victories are what keeps us going in this...

Thank you, Ryan.

I've been working on the Deuce, slowly, but haven't done much that's "picture-worthy". I've been diddling with the console and playing with the rear-view camera wiring. I have...

Well, I finally made some real progress. I spent a few afternoons putting some order in the messy shop so I have room to work now. I started playing with some poster board and illustration sheets...

Initially, the whole rear-view camera / monitor kit cost $149 on Amazon. That was about a year ago and since then I have seen them for about $80. Anyway, I didn't like the size of the camera that...

My thanks to Smokeyco for the complimentary tribute. (I won't reveal his real name; that's up to him.) He was a student of mine when teaching was still a fun challenge, and he was (and still is) one...

Well, something finally got done!:HMMM: Since I have trouble getting up and down, I was reluctant to do anything that requires me to crawl under the car. I try to think of everything I need when I...

GOOD GOLLY! Time sure gets away...:HMMM: I'm still alive and well, just haven't done anything noteworthy on my Deuce. I just looked at the date above and nearly choked; it's been 6 months since I...

I don't know, Roger. I never say never, but I have remarked to other people that this will probably be my last build... At 74 I don't know if I have enough stamina and determination left to...

OK, nothing earth-shattering to relate. I haven't added anything here since March because I haven't done much.:HMMM: I was deeply involved (maybe I should say embroiled) in wiring when I hit a...

So here is the panel installed under the dash. On the far left are the light and wiper switches. The rest is just plain.:)

The second picture is the beginnings of my second version of a pattern...

Well, it's been a while... again. I haven't been totally absent, just doing obscure things. I'm in the middle of Electrathon season, which keeps me sidetracked sometimes, and since my last posting...

Well, it's been a while. Life gets in the way.:rolleyes: I actually did some fabrication, but then there was Christmas and all those obligations, a couple of Electrathon races, and there is always...

Sorry for the slow response - Electrathon racing season is under way now...:rolleyes:

My good friend Mike Krupp bought the crimping tool, so I bought the vacuum pump and gauges. Mike is building...

I'm baaack! Finally!:rolleyes: Geez, it seems like forever since I've spent any time on the '32. Anyway, the wife has mostly recovered from her back surgery and the bathroom remodel is finally...

It sure does, Dave. I got the bathroom remodel about 90% done and my wife had to have surgery on her back. Now I'm chief cook, nurse, and physical therapist for at least the next month... Maybe...

Hi Figure8. I'm a bit embarrassed to report that I haven't done anything on the '32. After I made the bracket (above post) I started trying to run the hoses. I soon discovered I didn't have the...

OK, it's been a while, but I got a short break from everything else to do something on the '32. I need to get the plumbing done on the A/C system so I can begin wiring. The next component I need to...

Sorry for the delay in answering. I've been doing too many other things and just haven't spent any time here. Yes, I will either get a longer center hinge or I will fabricate an extended mounting "T...

OK, it's been several days (5 weeks!!:rolleyes:) since I did anything. The holidays had to come and go and we've had visitors intermittently. Then I did some work on one of my Electrathon friend's...

I haven't been here for a while. Aside from a couple of "honey- do's" I have no real excuse. I was so frustrated with this project that I just walked away from it for about a month. The problem is...
