    Just some pics of projects.

    The center of the Henry's roof had to be cut out from the front windshield to about seven inches forward of the rear window, and about six inches up from the drip rail. We used a roof off a 1941 Ford 4dr demo-derby victim to patch in. The metal of the Ford was about 16 gauge while the Henry J's steel (not rusted through) was about 20 gauge. Wheeling the curve of the Henry into the Ford section was a challenge, but we did it.

    The other pictures are a 1940 Ford four door we are restoring for a grandson, a 1937 chevy business coupe in the paint booth, and the frame for the Henry.

    If we start to burn out on the Henry ( youngest is about 57 and the oldest of us close to 70 ) we just switch off onto another project. Keeps us out of trouble with the significant others.

    More as they progress.
