Two days before the fifth Redneck Roundup is to begin and the first day of another of Patman's classes. Some teaching and some eating. I got a little bit done on the speedster and Jim and I shortened the Humvee 2-man cargo divider to be used as a 4-man divider in the new Humvee M1026A build...

It looks like I will be settled down from our Redneck Roundup metal meet in time to attend this event. I have been encouraging Brent to do this again, and am looking forward to it. Can I stake a claim to the parking spot with the shore cord that I have used in the path??

Ed, I looked up the info on the gas tank sealer. It was provided to me from a friend in Grand Rapids, Michigan, who's employer owns the Miami Heat basketball team and the farm team for the Detroit Red Ring Hockey team and has a very large collection of both vintage and contemporary sports cars...

Too bad you were not here to help. You could have mowed our grass as well. I spent the time checking for leaks at the gas tank, and along the 8ft of gas line and the shut off valve. We also adjusted the throttle linkage where it connects the dual carbs and where it goes thru the firewall...

Ed, I do not remember at this time. A friend of mine from Grand Rapids, Michigan did it for me. I will make an attempt to find the can or get in touch with him Regards, Will

More small steps. I am enthused little more these days as I need to get this done and out of the way for the upcoming Redneck Roundup. Not likely to happen, but it is good motivation. I got the gas tank installed and set into place so that it fits the opening in the tail section, polished the...

This is a copy of a post that I made on the Allmetalshaping website that I am an administrator for. I am sharing it here along with my sincere thanks to the large number of the members here that helped me on this project. It would not have gotten to this point if it were not for the kind...

I have been told / asked about the 225A Panel Delivery entered in Fine Point at Oskosh event has been sent to the Ford museum. I don't know what to say to those that have asked. Can some one confirm that it is or is not? Thanks.

I changed my mind.

This event has continued to grow, and I have previously had to limit the attendance to 40 folks, but the demand has been stronger this year and I have decided to expand a little to 50 folks or so. There are 3-4 spaces left for those that may have an interest in learning the basics of metal...

The wife and I have decided to host another of the Redneck Roundups here in Rock Hill, S.C. on April 5th, 6th and 7th. Lunch and the evening meals are included as is sheet metal materials, and I am also expecting to make arrangements to attend the NASCAR Hall of Fame on the following Sunday as...

The pressure differential will determine the direction of travel.

Fastenal surprised me with a response for a quote to the upper northwest. Palletized crate for four of the customers in this shipment are: Oregon = $260 Texas = $210 Ohio = $185 Wisconsin = $185 Fastenal has been an important component of being able to acquire one of Peter's wheeling machines...

This fifth shipment of English wheels has arrived here in Rock Hill. This is the second time that a shipment has been held in customs over concerns of the crate material 'issues'. This accounts for 32 of these wheeling machines that have been imported from Australia. They have turned out to be...

Continuing small step - maybe someday this thing will be done. Retirement is not all that it's cracked up to be. At any rate a little more got done. No matter how hard I try, the Bugatti build and the interest in the new M1026 Humvee project is diluting the work on the speedster. Jim Hery was a...

It has been my practice to jack up the tires and make the scribe line, but then to not only put them back on the ground, but roll the car backwards at least one full tire diameter, then roll back forward one full tire diameter, This removes all the 'slop' and tolerances in the steering...

Bill and I were good friends. We competed with each other and shared the enthusiasm for details. I was fortunate to visit Bill and Silvia at their home and they were gracious and charming hosts. They will both be missed in the Model A community.

I agree with the original post on this thread.

Peter has informed me that that this fifth shipment of six of his wheeling machines have left the port in Australia, and is due here in 6-8 weeks. One of the new owners is a member of this forum and has attended one of Peters metal shaping class. He bought one after watching Peter build an...
