If you go to the following link I address the front cowl supports and have instructions on how to fabricate the L bracket and the templates are to scale.

That's a fine looking 34 roadster body what are your plans for the build and if I can help in any way send me an email.

Man thanks a lot. You're pictures are already helping greatly. Roadsters are foreign to me and trying to figure out where everything goes can be a task. My plans are for a pre-war build. 37 or 40 flathead with a 37 Lasalle converted to torque tube and a 1939 banjo. 40 brakes etc. All early stuff.

Well I did not make it to the car show this weekend I thought I could finish the 34 but there are still too many details that need to be addressed I'm close but I figure that I need at least another week or more to complete. Started to install the interior first reupholstering the front seats and then installed part of the cars interior its very tedious and time consuming. The Lebaron Bonney interior package is very good quality however the written installation instructions can be confusing they sure could use a technical writer for a rewrite. I found a few of their utube video's which helped clear up most of the confusion.

That sure is looking great!
Looks like your doing a nice job in the upholstery as well.

I took my 34 to the pinstripers yesterday so that he can complete the pinstriping on the body belt line. I will leave the car at his shop for a few days and pick it up midweek. I wanted to take a few photos of him pinstriping so he did a very quick mock demo of what it will look like and then he wiped the pinstriping paint off. I will post a few photo's when the striping is complete. I liked his workbench what do you think if I had him paint a few skulls on my headlight buckets...

Looking great!

My pin-stripping is now complete and I must say I'm very pleased with the outcome and it makes the car now look complete. I now need to see why my break lights won't work they were working and now there not. I think there is a problem with the break light switch so I will remove it and have a look or just replace it with my spare switch.
