Oh Man... Wish I could but... I need to go back to Seattle for a few weeks. I'd love to join you guys next year. bob
At times, it looked a little like Frankenstein (in a good way) with all those scars. "It's alive...!" Amazing work and great fun to watch it 'come...

I didn't call anyone out. This forum did. I'm not trying to hurt anyone. I didn't mention anyone. Didn't intend to. As far as driving it back to...
Legitimate question indeed. After all, the last time I drove it was '68. It's not so much that it steers hard as much as it doesn't return - you...
Thanks to Rich B for simplifing my pics. I'm severely low-tech. The earlier pic posted by Alchemy was apparently early in the build. The pics I...
I'm hoping the photos Ive tried to include show up. If not, I'll try again. Someone said they thought the steering box was an early Hudson?...
Just got my '32 Ford back from being mostly built at a local shop with the steering stiff (along with other issues). It's so stiff that it is hard...

At one time the car was equipped with a roll bar. The the rear window frame/rear shelf was butchered to facilitate it. I need to see some photos...
Thorsten, Great find! It's like a time machine. Your plans and progress are awesome. What part of Germany are you from. In another life time I...
My other obsession is a big ol' wood boat. Whenever I have any exposed wood to deal with, I first treat it with a thin epoxy product made by Smith...
Thanks for the pics Tom! As has been well noted, all of your work and talent is much appreciated here. BTW, the evening and twilight shots are,...
Absolutely! Thanks...
Because life got busy and got in the way. Besides, as an eighteen year old kid I frankly didn't care about the history. Now that I'm trying to get...
Thanks for all of your info. I'm sure it'll be helpful to others. I've worked around boats a fair amount (my other moneypit) and have found...
BTT with a little more info. Any help...?
Love it! My brother had one when we were kids. It was chartreuse, white top and black and chartreuse leather interior with three twos on a...
