Progress pictures of the Thames .............
went down to Randleman today to take a look at the sheetmetal progress on Timmy ................ some of the work is beautiful
The rear doors are mounted .... they haven't been leveled or adjusted yet, but the old wooden mounts are gone and new, adjustable steel mounts have been made for the hinges and the doors work really smooth ......... the old rain gutter above the doors will be replaced with a reverse bead roll
A new, strengthened seat attachment floor has been welded in place
Vance Frazier has fabricated this gorgeous transmission tunnel on an English wheel
The new , custom built firewall has been tacked into place ............ permanent attachment will be after brake and steering systems are mocked up for installation

The new sheet metal quarter panels have been tack welded into place ......
The Cobra seats look as though they were built expressly for installation in a Thames
Now that the dimensions have been figured out, the lips for the wheel wells will be built to extend out to the first tread on the rear tires
The front body mounts have been welded into place and support the body beautifully

Some good progress John, very nice work being done.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
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.
