THE 29 IS ON HOLD

Long story short. I'm putting the '29 on hold while my builder secures a new space and in the meantime, I'm putting my energies towards getting my Tall T on the road. So bear with me while we divert to the project that was on the back burner. Attached is a shot of where we're at with the Tall T project.

PINKEE'S PEDAL ASSEMBLY

After years of drooling over the cars built by Pinkees in Loveland, Colorado, I stepped up and purchased one of their pedal assemblies featuring triple resevoirs. Owner Eric Peratt was good enough to drive it down to me in Denver. The pieces look great and I have no doubt that this is going to be the perfect set-up for my roadster. We'll be installing it to compliment a 60's aluminum Dodge Dart steering box which will handle our the cowl steering. Pics to follow as that plays out.

REAR SUSPENSION UPDATE

A quick update on the roadster's rear. The Posies rear quarter elliptical springs tacked in. Next comes the ladders.

 

BEFORE AND AFTER FRAME CLEAN-UP

A couple of before and after shots of the frames with welds cleaned up

A TRUE CRAFTSMAN -- SELLER'S EQUIPPED

Here's a short film about Steve Sellers talking about his philosophy, including scenes of him prepping a 28-29 Hallock style windshield. I can't help but wonder if this might be my actual windshield he's working on, as this film seems to have been shot just days before I received mine. Enjoy!

POTENTIAL INSTRUMENT PANEL

I was tipped off to a great resource for looking at vintage dash clusters and in looking at it came across this 1958 cluster. Can't help but wonder what it might look like centered in the roadster's dash in concert with the rectangular wheel.

INTERIOR REFERENCE

Found this on the internet and wanted to post it as reference for what I'd like to do in the interior of the '29. Not so much the material, per se, but the idea of having storage areas build into the inner door panels, and perhaps even the trunk that are a lot like shoulder bags. It will be a long time before I'm sweating such details, but when I do, I'll have this to look back at. 

Hopefully, I'll have more progress to report on the build soon.
