Was the orginial wood stained?

I used a clear two part expoxy from Home Depot. I got the stuff that was a 5 minute cure.  I only had some dry rot at the end of a spoke (steering wheel).  I used a drill to drill out the rotted stuff.  It was like I was playing dentist and drilling out a cavity. 

In case people are wondering, the reason why the two different colors.  I was bored.

Mine as this sliding tin cover on the top.  I ran a flexible metal tube 1 1/4 in diameter into passenger floor board.  I open this top during summer.  But, it is so loose that in just kinda does what it wants. 

Just bolt in place of stock manifold

Just like min but cheaper. 

South Dakota does not require seat belts, even if the car is registered as a normal car, not a vintage vehicle.  I use my 29 a lot in the summer as a daily driver so I do not have it registered as a historical car.  You can use orginial year of manufacture license plates if registered as a historical car.  Sad, I found a perfect set of matching 29 plates off eBay.  They now hang in my shop.

I live South Dakota and winter is mostly over.  I never really got a chance to try out the heater as we had very Icey roads this year.  I was not brave enough to to try out her on such roads.  I have gotten used to modern features like anti lock brakes and traction control. 

All four of my 29 are smooth (non hex)

I have that heater.  Hard to say if it works or not, the draft from around the doors is so bad ,that I lost any heat that made into the interior.  I had just a straight pipe from the rear of the heat straight into the floor boards on the passenger side.  I never even thought of running tubing to the back seat.

What wood working tools did you use? 

I added a third brake light and LED for the tail lights.  If at all possible, I do not drive at dusk or later.  I never added seat belts.  In a wood framed car, would they really help? 

Yes.  I have them in my 40 dodge fire truck.  It has 7x20 bias ply tube tires.  I installed those beads when I replaced the tubes.  They really work.  I then installed in my hot rod, 6 x16 bias ply tube tires.  The local hot rod club has a bunch of members that run beads, no issues.  Work nice.
