Well here are the pics of my pops 32 Sedan sitting outside in the sun. Almost ready to rock n roll. Just a few more adjustments and she will be flying down the highway. Man what a journey this car has had. Dreams can surely come true.

They are "Clecos", used primarly in the aviation industry. Been using them for about 50 years. Used to hold sheet metal in place while fitting/attaching. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif <font color="red"> </font> Davey

This was a drag car back in the 50's and it had a removeable tonneau type roof cover. The front tires are Good Year All Weather 6.00-15 and Prime X trailer tires on the rear 7.50-16. The Good Year were purchsed at a swap meet and the Prime x are just trailer tires you can probably get at any small tire shop.

Yeap this is it. Pops has been pittaling with it all year. I bought a Model A coupe in January and told him I was going to pass him up if he did not pick up his feet. It lit a fire on him and he has been burning the wrenches up. Not to mention staying in trouble with Mom. If I was you I would stand by the pit entrance coming out of the tunnel and wait fo him to come thru. Open headers so you shouldn't miss it. I hope the dust don't blow on the billet guys. Hope to see you there. Come by and visit.
