 I found some time to work on the roadster the other day, and got the drivers door hinged and operational it will still need some fine tuning, but at least it opens and closes pretty square. I guess the passenger door will be a piece of cake now.

That door framing looks good and strong.....Nothing worse than doors that twist around and sound like your hitting the side of a band aid can when they close .

I like the fender look...but I'm a fender guy anyway (rears at least).  Heard that even hotrods require fenders driving in Canada..wonder if any of the states require fenders?

I like your wheels also...

I'm with Ed on the fender thing....but on the other hand..........Hard to say.
Maybe it's time for a little work with Photoshop.

It's been awful quiet since it appeared with fenders.

Yeah..same here :)

Was thinking :o  The reason I like fenders is that it makes the car look like it's sticking to the road...No fenders looks like it could take off any time! (and No..I'm not drinking)

Thanks guys. I had a lot of family here a couple of weeks ago so I decided to work in the shop the last two weekends to make up some time with the cars of customers. I blew the 31 plymouth apart completely and pressure washed all the rodent debri from all the crevices. then I finished up the seal coat primer on the 28 chevy delivery and spent last sunday and all this weekend doing the assembly of same. I have only the windshield and back door glass to order and install to be done with my part of it. I will try to get a few pictures of it soon. (The poor buick is suffering) Hey Ray I saw you called today but I left my damn phone on the charger all day. did not check it until just an hour ago. I will give you a call.  Hey Tom how soon until you are in Colorado?

Well both doors are hinged finally and I also finished up the hinge for the trunk. I am telling you that standing on my head in tight spaces with a welder in my hand is not my idea of fun and if I had more help I would have stood the body up on end, but it's done and working for now.
Have a look..... John
