There's always one! Still, looks like a good time, better than we have been having.
Tighten it up til it strips, then back it off a quarter turn

Nice pics. Glad you're enjoying your roadster.
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

Great backdrop for your car. My son's up there now, beautiful time of year.

Just finishing up a truck seat! Will be doing the same French Seam with tan leather on my Roadster upholstery soon! I kind of like the cup holders in the seat! RoarsRods

I really like that seam. I looks classy.

Thanks all for your compliments! There’s no cutting corners now on my final Roadster build! As far as Ed’s question with the 5 to 6 stitches per inch I would say an estimate yes! The machine settings would be maxed out on 8! The closer the stitches the more able to rip and tear easily! Doing all brown thread same color as my brown square weave carpet! Here’s my sample Holden Lion logo embroidered on my tan leather sample! Plus sample #1944 tan cloth roof top material! As always need to have a backing material for stronger results! Also the embroidery design for the top of both door panels and the rear trunk divider panel was created from this picture of my lower drivers side Holden Lion with Rock logo! Plus would like all the Aussies to be proud of my Roadster build! Here’s a YouTube video for French Seem on leather!

This woman makes it look so easy, I guess you do too, RoarsRods! I got a little chuckle how the narrator pauses, just for a fraction of a second when he says " French...seam".

Two car cruises today on the Cape Cod Hyannis Port  beach! 60 miles one way with about an hour each way! Roadster runs awesome plus again filled my tank 13 gallons getti10 mpg! About 50 cars at both venues!
Plus tried to get a video of the Cape Cod Sagamore bridge built in 1933/1934 years of my Roadster!
Now Roadster in my back garage plus had to check all my tires pressure 30 lbs each with one was 28 lbs!
Now will need to do bug detail and dust it off for the next fine venue!
Oh was in the upper 60’s with sun all day!

Out all day today putting on some more miles! Just turned 500 miles today! Plus I weighed my Roadster at my friends trucking shop today with a full 15 gallons of gas! 1450 lbs with just the front and the whole car including me and some fire extinguisher supplies 3000 lbs total weight! I weigh 175 lbs plus estimate 20 lbs of supplies! For the most part my Roadster is pretty much balanced out front and rear! Pretty close of what my previous estimate was for total weight! But had figured that the front would have been a little bit heavier!
These pictures are at my friends Autobody Shop!
