‘32 Update: Weatherstripping (article 32)

Weatherstripping
All gaps are not created equal.  Having said that, once I decided which weatherstrip profile to use, the job itself was rather simple.

You’ll have to start with your doors hung and latched.  To determine the size of the gap, I used what I’ve been telling people to use for years, but never had the opportunity [...]

‘32 Update: License Plate Holder (article 46)

This is another idea born from necessity… we hadn’t decided/bought a license plate frame or holder, so the idea began to be tossed around.  On a roadster, plate positioning is a bit easier because the section below the trunk lid is taller; most plates get mounted there.  But since there really isn’t enough height there [...]

A/C line clamp/headlight wire conduit/transmission cooler lines All-In-One

These hoses are running up the passenger side frame rail, into the [...]

‘32 update… nice heads (article 37)

As the car goes back together, we’re finding little things that we’ve wanted to get done which have made their way to the bottom of the proverbial pile.  We had talked a long time ago about making some sleeves so we could put 3/8″ button head bolts in the spreader bar holes instead of the [...]
