I can work with an audience, but it really slows me down. Like you guys, I get the most done when I am alone. Also, I talk to myself and the car constantly when I'm working alone. When things are going as expected, I carry on pleasant commentary; when things go wrong I rage and cuss and sometimes throw things. Then I calm down and do it right. I think it's all very theraputic and keeps me from taking out my frustrations on other people.
Don - Thanks for the compliment (a couple of pages back). I have been told before that I have a good eye for proportion. I hope that's true; if so it's probably because one of my hobbies is drawing.
Brian - I'll be looking forward to the posts on that Duvall style windshield frame. Depending on what body I end up with for my roadster, I may want to do that.
I'm going to the Turkey Run at Daytona next month and I hope to come home with a body. The ideal piece would be a '27 roadster pickup body (fiberglass), but all of those I've seen are high $$$. I can find '23 T-bucket bodies starting at $385. I wish someone would make the '27 bodies like that. I don't need opening doors or steel reinforcement... Anyway, a '23 bucket will do if I can't score a '27. I like the '27 because the cowl shape is compatible with the Duvall style windshield. Whatever I come home with, I'll be posting build pics here. The build pics of my coupe are in the gallery.Jim
Racing! - Because football, basketball, baseball, and golf require only ONE BALL!
Visited a family member at Dockery Ford from the time I was 1 year old through their ownership and then ownership change to Morristown Ford. Dockery was a major player in the Hi Performance...
How did you get hooked on cars?
