Re: car is falling apart faster than I can take it apart

I guess I should have told you that Mike. They didn't use forms. I remember my Vietnamese upholsterer complaining about that when he made my top, " car no good, righ side no match lef"

Re: car is falling apart faster than I can take it apart

You're at the fun part Mike. I have to wait until my garage is finished before I can tackle the body. In the mean time, my parts shelf fills with gleaming, restored Le Mans bits. I'm dying to put it all together.

Re: Introduction

Roly I too have a '34 Le Mans and a couple of '34 Nine Sports which have the same front end. Yes, they have 90 degree nipples (sounds a little kinky). Once they are installed, you may also find when you try to grease them, the grease shoots right out the bottom of the kingpin, rather than lubricatin...

Re: New Record Auction Price for Singer?

It certanly bodes well for the investment we have made in our cars although on the down side it tends to put some of these cars out of reach for the newbies.
