She's a looker for sure. Both of 'em :-)

Welcome aboard! Nice rides! Fred B.

Thanks Chooper! I always wear safety glasses after seeing what my brother endured about 12 years back when he got a piece of metal in his eye... he's a real stickler for safety glasses now. The long sleeves tip will be useful though! Appreciate the concern :-) Fred B.

Here are a couple shots of the patch panel cut-outs. Hopefully I can find some 18-gauge and bend that lip in my vise. Then my brother will weld 'em in for me using his mig. Tack, tack, tack... fill, cool, fill, cool.... And here is my new wire cup for my grinder (as recommended by Ratdog)...

Doesn't look like much, but after nearly 30 hours of labor and about $125 in supplies my cowl/tank windshield frame went from this: To this: Insl-X Rust Arrestor (and I'd like to thank T1 for recommending this stuff in another thread). This crap is tough as nails! I missed some old...

Quick! How do you get Insl-X Rust Arrestor off your skin!!! LOL! J/K :D Fred B.

Thanks DM! I've emailed him so hopefully he'll get back to me. If not I'll try calling him during business hours sometime this week. Fred B.

Is RRR member "Clipper" still around? Does he have a website? Trying to get some more info on his '28-29 door belt line pieces. Thanks! Fred B.

You did what? You chopped 3" off the bottom? Did you weld material back on afterwords? Or is your body 9" shorter than original? And a 6" channel? Holy smokes, do you have ANY room inside that bad boy? [P Hey, if either of you guys have build photos showing how you attached the body to...

Dang, you guys are spot on! I cut out that first piece to be patched using my 4.5" grinder with a thick grinding wheel installed. What a pain! Then I was trying to remove some hard-to-get-to rivet and bolt heads with my Dremel using those super thin cut-off wheels... I must've went through...

Thanks chopper! It's way early, but my goal is to drive it on my 50th birthday (I'm currently 43)! Fred B.

Thanks Gregster! I don't see any panels on his site, so I guess I need to call him for those? I have the Howell's and the Battleground catalogs and they offer all sorts of patch panels too. I just need to figure out exactly which ones I need and send off for 'em. I also need some windshield...

No new photos, but I've been working studiously the past four days on the cowl/tank/front pillar unit. Wire wheel and abrasive wheel in the electric drill, then a coating with Rust Arrestor. Time-consuming stuff. Monday I even cut the rusted lower cowl section out on the passenger's side...

Welcome aboard Mr. Haney! Sounds like you'll have no problem with RRR or with the rat rod disease :D Fred B.

Please disregard my previous post on the magazine request.... found a local source. Thanks. Fred B.

Welcome aboard and congrats on the project! You should consider a speedster-type build! Fred B.

Too kewl, man, too kewl :) Fred B.
