Flip the mirror 180 for how mine is mounted.  Mirror mount covers the middle screw in the headboard.    frank

Cool, Dave.  Yes, you've been missed and your absence has been noted.  The 2 fuel tanks pic didn't attach.   frank

Insightful comments.  I suppose I should check price of oats and the stable before grousing about $$$ spent on winter storage!

Chet,   Thanks for sharing.   frank

Yeah, Chet - gutsy or stupid without a cell phone, which is still nonexistent.  Although I don't know if reception is available even now on WI 70 west of Woodruff.  Pretty lonely on that Sunday.  Don't even remember any logging trucks, but it was scenic, if you enjoy trees.

It won't be long and you'll be crusin'.  Keep up the great work.   frank

40, with tops about 45 or so.  Depends on road surface and to lesser degree, traffic.  In the city, main streets are 35 to 40 which are about right unless the surface is wretched; filled, mounded pot holes and sealed joints every 20 feet.  These are annoying in a modern car, too.

This pan is under the front seat for tools and spare parts.  The standard place for these is under the rear seat, but I wanted room for a bottle jack, coil and other items.  It is galvanized and the outside is painted black to match the undercarriage.

(I made this in 2001 before driving about 200 miles east to Reedsburg, WI, for a Plymouth meet on a Thursday.  Sat I drove 200 miles north to a wedding reception and returned home the next day , another 200 miles.  I used the wrench for the oil drain plug.)

Chet,   not the best picture, but hope you get the idea.  Unlike John, I have separate plywood in front and back of cross members at the B pillar.  The front plywood is 2 piece.  The height of the exposed vertical board at the rear seat is 2 11/16".

Chet,  You'll be crusin' in no time!  To answer two flooring questions...

1.  I need to look at this and get you some pictures, but I remember there is one directly under the "back" of the front seat; at right angle to the B pillars

5.  Neither my car or Dave's had a cross member at the toe/floor intersection.

6.  This picture is Dave's car.  I was lucky to find my Body Tag.

Chet,  No not my car, but referencing the combination of a picture of Dave's and measurement from mine, platypus came to mind.  (It just seemed appropriate to put that in.)

Different subject.    Remember the State of MN referenced a book to re-title my sedan as a '29.  The name of it is Standard Catalog of American Automobiles 1805-1942.   I just received a paperback copy through amazon for about $24 including shipping.  It is the 3rd edition, 1996, published by Krause Publications, Iola, WI.  1600+ pages and a wealth of information.
