I made one frame to fender bracket. One more like this and four more of a little different design.

Just wanna throw this out there....... Spray in expanding foam insulation is not a good way of fixing rust. I have seen some weird things people have done over the years but this one beat them all. Someone used expanding foam spray to fill in the missing rusted section on a body mounting brace and then used bindi and undercoating to hide their "repair". Can't believe anyone would do something like this.

Finally put some Epoxy on the roadster. At the rate I am going I will get this car repaired by mid May.

That will be cool. After all these years I know it will be great to see her come back to life. It is so much more fun to build than repair. Get to it.

I'am building a six post delivery express wagon body.For a Model T Ford. Bent the steel around the tailgate And worked on the windshield posts.

Well I got a little merging of threads. Over at on the Trivia thread I posted a photo of this vacuum canister from the power brakes on my bosses 56 Plymouth. I asked him if I could have it for my Gran Sport and he said sure. You see my motor has a pretty radical cam and all I have is 10 inches of vacuum at idle, needing about 18 the power disc brakes can be an issue. I have never been happy with how this car stopped, needing lots of pedal pressure. Well at 1200 rpm I have about 23 inches so I figured if I had a canister to save that vacuum so when I stopped I could use it, hmmmmm. So I brought home the canister and I'll see if it will help.

It fits right in there behind the right headlamp.
