    I got to check out your tudor @ epping this morning. Very cool ride, the seats came out awesome & there was no mistaking the sound of an early olds. (I heard you fire it up from my vendor spot 5 rows away)

    Thanks man. I appreciate it.

    Bought this set of old chrome U Fabs for a 324 at Epping last weekend, should look cool on the 32 if I ever decide to swap out the 2 fours.

    Absolutely!
    I’m a little jealous I don’t have mine back together yet......I really miss driving it.

    Wow, nice find!
    Unfortunately I was there alone selling & didn’t get to wander to far.
    Those old chrome logs would look sweet on your ‘32. Although it sounded like you had the 2, 4’s dialed in nicely.

    Cheers

    Pulling all the wood out of the roof of the car so I can fix it and finally put the insert in.

    All the wood is fixed and reinstalled but I'm sure taking my sweet time putting the insert in. It's good to plan ahead. That way you're never doing anything now.

    Had to borrow the wife's electric blanket to warm everything up so I could stretch out the vinyl for the insert.

    Here's the frame with the vinyl stretched over the canvas and cotton layers after applying every side with a generous coating of 3M spray adhesive

    I didn't trust the wood with nails so I drilled 130 1/8 holes for 4-40 machine screws.

    Trying to get this car ready to take over primary hot rod duties, ***uming my T Bucket ever sells (see signature line) so I fitted the back gl*** and made a new plate mount which was a knock on effect of having moved the taillights forward.
    I'd never been happy with the tail pipe hangers being visible from behind so I made a quick and dirty trim piece. Afterwards I installed a recently cast East is Neat topper.
