    So close it hurts ........

     



    We're within a couple of weeks of being through with the Thames ........ hope to have him on the streets by the first of the month

    Door panels and handles have been installed ....... latches were fabricated from '32 Ford handles ........ had to increase the shaft length .......... custom fabricated garnish moldings have been installed







    Windshield and door glass has been installed .......... velocity stacks have been painted







    ... a face only a mother could love



    need to finish up the wiring to the drop down license plate holder and associated lights, finish wiring the fuel cell and gas gauge, install the brake pedal and accelerator pedal, hook up the throttle cable, finish the brakes, install the steering wheel, and fabricate-paint-install the header panel above the windshield in the interior .......... really getting excited now

    Hang in there John. Looks like you'll be out among 'em soon.

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    Beautiful job John. It's been a long road for you.
