I don't know how that last photo got on. But it should have been this one. Ghost 28- You can have it for 13.5K . Its all good steel. The only rust is in the rain gutter in the trunk. And on the front fender about 2"in the tire opening. Comes with 2 D.O.H.C. engines. One has a intake with a carburetor and a distributor that runs off the top cam. All new running gear. You will need a truck with an 8' and a trailer. For all the parts that go with it. Mostly new parts.

And worked on my bead roller. I have to get a shaft turned down. Then I will paint it and put it together. And take a photo for my buddy. All in fun moose.

Looks like you had a busy day. I think you photographic skills have improved to the point to where they almost parallel your mechanical skills. In recognition of this accomplishment and as a reward for your exemplary effort I feel that it's only fitting to give you the following recognition.

I played around with my new shrinker and stretcher. The inner panel for my rumble seat lid has a little rust so I need to make some pieces to replace the swiss cheese.  I made a cardboard template with the radius of the rear quarter so I could match it.

I finished the roof. And though I may as well build the whole car. So dragged out a frame. And strapped it down for primer.

Your right Tom that's why I retired. So I could work on my cars. Now I have the time I need the money.

I worked on my gas tank cover. replacing some rust with new metal.
Does anybody have any experience with the fiberglass covers. If so how did they fit?

Are we talking about the tail pan panel? If so, the one on my 33 master fit real good...it is a bit "floppy" in the unsupported middle area... plan on gluing a foam brace in the middle on the inside.

I'm talking about the cover over the gas tank on a 1932 coach. It is attached by 10 bolts including the rear  bumper bracket bolts. Speedway has them listed in their catalog and I was wonder about the quality and fit.
