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.

A good hat is hard to find, not to heavy,or to tight and with that Bowtie emblen ;)

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

Wow 500 miles on her already :D  That's what it's all about.  Looking forward to checking it out and getting a ride!

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).
