    Joe,
    The 29 I got from you is a driver still. Been changing it to stock floor and a new seat. I did lower the rear with a reverse eye spring and got a model B engine and transmission for it. This chassis Ive been doing w the V8 is getting a 30-31 Brookville body. Cant bring myself to tear apart the 29. Weather is starting to break here and I will start driving the wheels off it again.

    When I told one of the major local model A guys how much and how far I have been driving it he was shocked and called me crazy..

    Should have okie joe axle in by Sunday and wishbone finished. I've spent the last three days bringing the 29 out of hibernation. The next few weeks should be alot of parts consolidation onto cars and cleaning up leftovers.

    29 got.
    lowered a little more.
    Wood kit in progress.
    New floor pans in.
    Figured out how top works.
    Test driven to brattons to get more parts.
    Might have seat figured out in next few days also.
