Projects Building My First Roadster in San Francisco

thats a cool thing having that couple drop in, I bet you made them smile & reminisce about the old days.
great work & perseverance on those brakes, when you depress the pedal & pull up at a stop sign or lights for the first time I bet you'll remember all the work it took

 

Great story on your visitors to the garage! I hope you can give them both a ride and maybe an autographed picture of the moment. Keep one for yourself, too.

 

That’s really cool man!

 

You might try smoothing & softening the copper washer with heat so it will better conform to the other surfaces.

 

I'll be 81 in June. I'm reading a book about growing up in Happy Texas in the '50s -'60s by a guy that graduated in '64 two years behind one of my cousins and two years ahead of his little brother. I was in CA by then but did grades 1-8 in Canyon a few mile north of Happy. My dad graduated from Happy High in the '30s and was living there when He died. There are mentions in the book of cars and motor scooters and just life as it was in small town America in those times. Stricter rules but more freedom? I bet you do remind those old folks some pleasant times.

 

Hey @Six Ball , not to take away from Joey’s thread, but having been in that area several times and having a mild affinity with west Texas and Texas history in general, would you mind sharing the book name and/or author? I’d appreciate it.

 

Happy Days in Happy Texas by Dr. Ricky L. Harman. PM me I'll go on and on.

Sorry Joey. Back to SF roadsters.
