    Here is the last month or so on the '34. This is the car that was a big pile of panels in the back yard.

    Fortunately, there was some pretty good stuff in teh pile, so it is coming along pretty quickly. Here is last month.

    This month was patch panels.

    The lower 1/4 panels were made by Donnie Smart, and they are absolutely perfect.

    And, wheelwells.

    Pretty much done.

    Now, I get to do some of my favorite stuff, engine mock up. This shitty old block and tranny has sat in about 7 of my cars at one time or another. Don't look at teh nasty firewall, that is next on the list. ( I stuck these valve covers on for Axle, cause I know he has a set or two...)

    New radiator and a borrowed grill, and that is her as of tonight.

    See you next time, -Abone.

    Once again I see your poised to pull another rabbit out of the hat. In a way I'm glad I don't live next door to you.....................I'd be worn out just watching you crank out this stuff. In another way I wouldn't mind living next door as I could get first crack at something that I wanted because sure as hell you would sooner or later rescue something I wanted. Keep us posted on the progress. Can we expect a Utube driving video next week?

    DAMN THAT'S COOL!!! You're doing a great job man!!! Does Donnie Smart make '32 5w stuff?

    Also how did you go about making the body square and rigid so that you could start the patch panels. Like on my 32 there's really nothing from the bottom 8" and down so I am not sure how I go about getting to to sit on the frame properly. Would creating a under skeleton to support the body on the frame while the panels get tacked in be the way to go? I see you have a couple cross braces triangulated but they seem to be tacked into new sub rails.

    Looks killer, love the pontiac mill. Are you going to run a supercharger on this one? Maybe the next Yay-hoo cup holder.

    Nice work again, Jeff! I also have the same questions as Jeffrey James... getting ready to set my A Roadster body on the frame and need to do some subrail and patch panel work.


    Thanks for the update!

    What are your plans? Full fendered? Hammered?
