    Wow! That thing must be fast; it blew Lance's hair to the back of his head.

    Speaking of your "A", any progress?

    My one car house shop is still a bit full of 1923 t-bucket,but have been finding and making a few more 1928 "A" roadster parts to be ready to go as soon as I have some of my own space back.

    Thats way cool. I like the idea of the under seat thing.. Does the material for the seat just wrap around the wood and staple? Thanks for the photo,it really helps me alot. Keep Roddin!!!

    Jim63,
    Yes,the trick in that is the design of plywood seat and wood frame needs to alow for a little were you know your going to have some vinyl come around and be stapled,so that dose not make things fit bad,plan ahead is key,just think about what is going to be were and make room.
    Note that there is a wood lip on bottom of seat plywood that when down,keeps it from sliding forword at all,so all stays in place.
