It's been a pretty mild winter here , but winter all the same. Nothing to do outside unless you ski , sled , hunt , enjoy cold......I do none of those (anymore). I've been stuck in my shop machining , welding , cutting , burning , grinding .....stuff. Sometimes the cutting and burning is on my own self. Some things I actually made for the Model A. First off I redid the motor mount to move the motor back a little more. Well , y'know when you change one thing it dominoes down the line. The motor is where it should be now , but the exhaust isn't going to work , so I had to make some new headers. These will be my "hood closed" headers. In order to p*** inspection here you cant have any cutouts so my lake style headers will not let me p***. Once all the inspection stuff is done the lake headers will go on from time to time. So , while I was crawling around under the car I kept looking at the TCI front axle and four bar setup and I was not loving it. My thought is g***er coupe ( I hear it's the new flat black) I had an original model A axle and wanted to try the drilled and polished look. I should have polished it first but it was looking so cool I couldn't stop. Anyway I'm pretty happy with the progress, maybe I will be able to get some focus and stick to one build plan. Oh I also started another Banjo wheel. This will be a flat four spoke like a Caddy wheel. I just started working on the mould. It will be black like the other one but I may try some polyurethane resin instead of kitty hair. Anyway, that's what I've been doing !
