Houston, we have a problem!!












Still having problems with the picture loading, and it gets out of sinc...so at least there is a little bit to see here.....first, the fenders are now on, also just fitted the top wood tack strip, then you see the Halibrands I put on the sedan..(have them on both cars now)...I sent the wheels away for drilling as they were blank, and forgot to send a wheel nut....they were drilled for taper nuts rather than the old mag style.....so....I wanted to adapt my knockoffs, and didn't want to drill the wheels to hold the adapters, so came up with the idea to use the bullet style lugs, that fit thru the knockoff adapter, then I drilled and tapped the lugs, and are in the process of inventing a clamp that holds the knockoffs up against the wheel....how about that...now the wheels are'nt really ruined after all!!














Looks like there is still a problem in the loading of images....google has a different way to do this, but oh so slow.....so I might just wait until the repair comes thru...in the meantime, not only am I on occasional grandad duties, we also have a houseful of visitors, so not much time anyway, and no work on the 32 for a week or two...pity, as there is only 80 days to go to the Street Rod Nats....I was hoping to have the roadster done for then....anyway...it will happen..one day......keep checking back until I figure this deal out....
