I put the top back on the roadster to check on fit, and also because I am gonna drive it over to the upholsterer either tomorrow or saturday to see about getting a nice black canvas cover sewn on it. Plus I keep losing my hat when running around.

Ha Ha I went through about 5 hats and lost 4 before I found one that would stay on my big head without flying off.  Didn't like the writing on it but it stayed on :)
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Oh yeah I have my hat strap so tight it gives me a headache, but the alternative is sun burning my little bald head.

We may have to start a hat thread ::)
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Very nice distinguished uniform. The only time I ever put my baseball hat on backwards was when we were in Salina Kansas running the eighth  mile in a roadster, other than that My hat stays on straight.

140 miles on the odometer as of today, and with every mile it seems to drives smoother and smoother.  ;D ;D   I am so ready for the hot rod season to begin.

It's hard to get my tail end out of the seat these days, and have racked up over 500 miles on her. I did get all the exhaust leaks fixed around my home made headers but I have a serious headache giving resinating noise coming from the big pipes under the car, so I am gonna start finishing up the 2 1/2 inch exhaust out the back, I found the right bends for over the axle, and I am hoping it will  look great and sound even better. I can't wait for you to see it Tom

Ghost it's funny how some have the drone and some louder exhaust doesn't. I've had roadster headers that didn't bother me (no drone) and then the worst I had was the factory side pipes on my '69 Vette. I went down to Brownsville Tx, it about drove me crazy. Came home and put full standard exhaust on. Dad had a '71 with Hooker full header Show Tubes, no drone at all(and actually sounded nice down the hiway).
