@poorboy - Interesting - thanks!
It kind of looks like a Whippet grille that has been narrowed at the bottom. ...but it also looks too large overall to be a Whippet. I can't...
Wow @Outback - that's really beautiful. I don't usually like faux finishes - but the casting effect/scaling looks perfect.
Right on. I will try to be there.
Dude. Based on those staples, I think you got real lucky. Get well.
Make sure you fully submerge whatever you're soaking. If you do not, and depending on how strong the citric acid solution is...you are at risk of...
I've had good success striking with shaped rubber mallets of different sizes, ample patience, and a shot bag underneath. I switch to a soft wood...
Thank you. The front fender exit louvers are interesting on the red '29 RPU. I haven't seen this done before but they might actually help. Great...
Good luck to each of you.
@Jalopy Joker - always appreciate you sharing photos. These are great.
I'm not a good judge because I love panel striping almost by default, but now that I think about I don't think I've seen much of it on curvy cars....
Beautiful cars and photographs. With that color range and depth - I’m guessing Summicron. :)
Does Pat have a website? Can anyone share contact info? Thanks! Raaf
You are picking up momentum! Thanks for sharing - great project.
...and the WAIT WHAT??!?! I just looked at the photos again. That is hilarious! Congratulations to you!
I sure liked mine when I had one...[ATTACH]
I emailed with them in '21 - they were here in San Diego. I followed up in '22 - no answer by email, phone disconnected. From what I have heard...
Unfortunately they are out of business.
Well said.
Not entirely. I had the opportunity to see his car collection and the host was careful to point out the car he used to live in.
Cool photo. Unfortunately that plane (44-83872), passengers and crew were lost on November 12, 2022. Rest in Peace....
One of the most inspirational builds to ever grace these pages. Convinced me I needed a roadster. Love the '27 body!
Scrub line is gospel. Blasphemy could get you or someone else on the road killed. The extra inches aren't worth it.
Maybe Roothawg is looking for something that provides more than a feeling? Or maybe an install that, on top of fidelity and good sound, also...
@walls + @panhead_pete... I think this is probably the t170 conversion you are referring to. These are 3+OD typically sourced from Ford F150s. If...
@41 GMC K-18 - in my opinion two of the most beautiful planes ever made - the Comet and the Caudron.
Thanks @panhead_pete - great photos. Good seeing Caballero out there. ...and now we know where all the Lyon wheel covers are.
Just heard that my T170 is ready and shipping back to me soon. Cannot wait to install that. Hope you each are well!
I think you mean '33 grille - but I know what you meant. I saw that too because I was wondering how they grafted this on since the '33 essentially...
@The37Kid - There have to be other examples out there. ...but maybe I'm only recalling a '30/'31? You're right about that '28/'29 cowl sweep....
