    My friend Jeff has a model A roadster in the works. Today he brought up a load of parts and the mock-up begins. Started off with some American stamping brand rails and we finnished welding the boxing plates in today. Slapped a front end under it and now we need some rear susspention parts. Just tacked the rearend in for now. After we made a roller out of it we set Red Meats Tall T body on for kicks and to make some room to put it inside for the night. I think the T looks kind of good on the 32 rails, but it will really go on A rails (soon I hope). Here's a few pics of todays work. Tomarrow we will get the roadster body up here and mock that up on the deuce rails (pics of that tomarrow).

    Thanks to you Fed, boxing the frame to start with, I just finish welded Jefferys, but Meats was bare as it get today.
    "Mocking stuff up is about as fun as you can have with you pants on !"
    Ain't that the truth Rolf.
    "Chop that coupe man, it's hurtin' my eyes. Looks like you got alot of sweet projects around there. Nice pics too.".....Maybe next year Norrie, I'm gonna drive a high boy the first year...then...
    Look for more progress next weekend.
    In the mean time, here are the motor mounts I made with Jeffery for Red Meats T..
    1 make a little plate to bolt to mount.
    2 make template.
    3 cut out patterns
    4 tack in place
    5 weld
    6 motor mounts done!
    easy as 1,2,6!
