    Please keep posting. I've been wanting to build a 28/9 roadster myself, though mine would be alot uglier due to mostly using hand tools.

    Your work is beautiful. I had similar ambitions but bought the A tank and made the side panels. The body ended up more similar to a T that was simpler. Much of the knowledge on making panels was obtained at metalmeets put on by Metalmeet.com.
    Where did you develop the obvious skills that you have shown here.

    Not knowing much about metalwork, posts like these give me ideas of how it all works. Thanks.

    Anything you post along these lines will be wolfed down like cheesecake! I think I speak for most of the guys...
    Make my own '29 roadster body? Thought you'd never ask!

  14. Holy shit. You do this often, I reckon'.....or at least...often enough. Nice work, man. How long for a track nose phaeton with full hood, and lengthened doors ?? Lol....be nice if I could place an order like that.....I know you could do it. Frekn' 20 minutes you said....wowsers......guess the track nose phaeton would take ya' 4 or 5 hours. :) you da' man! Thanks for the talent show.
     
  15. Really nice work and description of your process. Like the others I would love to see more.

  17. Make two - sell one when you're done. That should easily pay for the one you keep.
