Well, here it is - out of the upholstery shop and on the road. Did a shake-down cruise yesterday, still a few things to fine tune, and we will...
Well - looks like I might be in for trouble. We went to check on the car the other day, before it heads off to the upholstery shop, and guess who...
Nice!
Brian, Sorry about your mishap, but glad to hear you are OK and damage was minimal. Senior year of high school I suffered a similar incident. I...
Bob, What kind of flying boat? I flew the Goose, Turbine-Goose, HU-16, SK-43, & PBY5A/6A.
Went to a local car show today and saw a couple 32 - 34 Fords with what appeared to be heaters in them. Where they an option? Are they...
Outback, I have spent some time in Australia - love it. In 1981 I was part of the crew who brought an old PBY Catalina from the States for a...
I am shopping for insurance for my '34' roadster and these questions came up in discussions with reps from various agencies, so - I forward them...
Thanks guys. I just got a quote from Hagarty, I will contact Grundy next and my Farmers agent should have a quote on Monday. There have been...
Thank you, I will contact Haggerty.
My 34 will be on the road soon; and is presently covered under the same policy I have for our other vehicles. The significant difference is in...
Info to all you guys who offered to drive me around, teach my wife to shift a manual transmission, or are just in her camp - the car went to the...
Here's to your dad and all the other P-38 pilots! And to all who served - my dad was a tank commander in the Pacific. They truly were the...
That just might work. Although we might be in Austin sooner; before I broke my leg I had a hunting trip planned through Arizona, New Mexico, and...
When is the Lone Star Roundup? It appears we may have more to talk about than just 1 beer will cover.
Uncle Bob, so nice to hear from you - you are that voice of reason in the chaotic sea. Your footnote quotes make me smile. To be honest I had...
Thank you, but I had little to do with it - it's all Vern and his crew. Your offer is most kind, as I replied to "Exterminator", if you're...
Today was a big day: My cousin loaded me in my truck and drove me over to Vern's; where, broken leg not withstanding - I managed to get myself...
Thanks, it is a bit - different; but very capable and fun to drive.

Sir, Your generosity knows no bounds. The sacrifices you and others on this forum are willing to endure and the lengths to which you will go to...
Thanks Chris, When I got those pictures, I just stared at them - especially the side view; I didn't know what to say - it is beautiful. And yes,...
Well, not finished yet - but I like it so far. [ATTACH]
Thanks Brian, I hope you like what you see in the next set of pictures. They rolled her out of the shop this morning, there's still some work to...
Kevin, Thanks, you might just have to do that, especially if you're already planning on being up here. As far as I know they are still thinking...
You are so right about that. And having a broken leg makes the waiting even tougher. Vern and the guys are working hard to maintain their...
Well, here's the latest - at least on the car; B-O-B, I'm still working on the next page. Radiator and grill are set, and hoses attached. I think...
Here's Vern running the flat-head he built for my car, and a picture of it installed.IMG_4885 by bandoola posted Apr 14, 2018 at 8:03 AM [ATTACH]
Radiator is in. Fitting the grill to the hood and front aprons is next, (I'm told). Then fenders back on. Getting closer. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Well, somehow I managed to post 2 pictures exactly the same - sorry.
