Kevin's 1931 Slant Window Cabriolet (68C)

The body is basically done. As you can see I did not start with much. The basic car was purchased many years ago by my father as the remnants of a body and chassis.
As of January 2010 I have the chassis waiting for drums to be assembled. The holidays and digging up tooling have slowed me down some.
For the record, It is way cheaper to buy a complete excellent condition car and restore it then to start with junk.

I am slowly doing some changes to the website format. Vince Falter was kind enough to send me some pointers and I am slowly integrating them. These changes will make the website work better on different browsing software.

I am writing Technical Articles about different areas. I have a very large backlog of things to document. Every sub-assembly yields more details. The biggest mistake is to assemble any part of the chassis thinking is it is just an old car. Ford used precision manufacturing in a surprising number of parts. Today people fail to maintain or understand this when bolting their cars together. If your car does not comfortably run 55 MPH then your chassis is NOT restored to factory tolerances.
