Thank you for your words, Roger. I have lots of happy memories of my Grandson and me working/building on the essex. I will treasure these forever Perley

Well, my Club Friends, it is an end of an era, for sure. I have sold my '29 Essex RS Coupe. As you may know, I have mixed emotions about it, but after a few years of inaction, due in part to my age...

My special thanks to you my Friend Jim. I truly enjoyed the visit to you home and workshop and a look at your projects. If I should ever get down there again, you can be sure that I will come see...

I am still alive and kicking (but not very high or fast), I've recovered much since my stroke, but not in finances. Essex just sits there, waiting for someone to come along with some cash and take...

Hi everyone. I am still walking and talking, but no building! I had a stroke two years ago and I still haven't recovered completely. I did go out in our makeshift garage and uncovered the Essex...

I am still in need of the doors for my Coupe. And a windshield frame. If anyone has one, or knows where I might find these, please let me know

Well, it's been over 6 years since my last post and that long since I last did anything on the Essex, BUT, I am getting ready to get started again on it. The years have taken their toll on my...

In this view you can get an idea of the compact space on the forward end of the clutch fork lever. Lot's of stuff in this small area. That's why I decided to go with the pull type slave cylinder,...

Here I have taken the body off of the chassis and have it standing on it's head (again). I need to weld up the bottom of the sub floor framing. Also, I mentioned before that I needed a clutch...

YEAH, I hear you guys about clothing (or lack thereof) while welding. Just yesterday I went out in garage just to 'check on things', and while out there decided to weld just a small project! Of...

Hey Jim! Thanks for the input here. Yep, that sounds like a better plan, I like it. Trouble is ------ I don't know as I plan on painting the body. Looks lovely as is! :LOL:
Except for where I...

Thanks Rickomatic and Pastor Bubba for the thumbs up on the fairing. I am tending toward welding it on, different anyways!
And Steve, I know the feeling. I've suffered now for 4 years from...

Hi Rickomatic, thanks for the note. Nice to know people are watching/following along. I am getting going again now, but the temperatures are still too high. The sun shines through the plastic tarp...

I guess maybe that be true dlotraf33. Strange people do strange things sometimes. Once in a while one may be seen up around this area, but not often. I have a friend who has a '30 Hudson Coupe...

Thank you Dave and Steve for hanging in with me! You know, fool that I am, that '47 that I had and sold was almost rot free! And I gave that up for this junk of rust and dust! Go Figure===:mad:...

A few more pics. In August/September I had cataract surgery, first one eye, then later the other. So I was out of commision for a couple of months total. After that I didn't seem to regain my...

Here I am trying to identify and label the wires coming from the Ranger steering column. This column came from an '89 Ford Ranger, and when I stripped the truck, through ignorance, I left the wire...

Thank you Pastor Bubba. I'm about to start up again, maybe even today. Here are a few more pics from last fall. I think I will cut out a new fascia for the dash from a piece of hardwood laminate...

AND --- here the sub-floor structure. Made from 1" square tube. Back to and up over the kick-up at the rear axle. Next step here would be the floor skin, after a fashion.

WOW, HOT DOG! It worked. Maybe I'm up and running again. Darn picture thing really got me! Here is the picture of the tail lights. From a 1958 Chevy! I had one of these years ago. Probably the...

Well folks, I'm baaacck. I am going to try again on the pics. Here goes!

Pastor Bubber. Nope, it wasn't me bidding on the 31 parts.

Larry. Yep, she's still in progress. I haven't done much this summer on it.

Lamin8r. Luckily it's going out to sea. Thank the...

Hello Friends, Fellow Rodders! I'm still around, doing a little now and again! Too darn hot up here this summer. I work a little while in the morning and again in the late afternoon and evening. ...

Thank you Shea. I have a friend up in New Brunswick who is a LaKing, Maurice. Any relation?
Anyhow, thanks very kindly for your input. I will check out the closest junk yard to see what I can...

Here's another try at pictures.
