I just meant specifically in terms of no bumperette. There are so many pretty cars over the years actually trying to pick out "Best"...

That's good, this is better

No, the ends of the double tube frame stick further forward than most of the rest of the stuff and that's enough for me. Though really...

On the basis that bumpers are ugly, I have no plans for bumpers.

The nose piece is made, now I can get started on the actual grill. Or the other side exhaust piece. Or remaking the windshield frame in...

"It is quite impressive to be built by someone who has never done anything like it before. May work as a mechanic but never built a car...

No, planning on vertical bars for the front still

Used some stainless today

Hood ornament gets to "stay" as a grill shell mounted emblem. I'll make a new one out of stainless rather than the TIG rod one.

More tiny progress, piece along the bottom to fill between the curve and the cross member Also my stainless steel finally got here so yay

Added the lower face piece to the nose

Yep, Treadle-Vac brake servo and master cylinder. Only this one is off a 1955 Packard Caribbean. The master cylinder is unlike any...

That's next for things is to weld some seams up in the front end then begin working on the nose. It seems that I'm having the...

Was finally able to get the car outside again today and took the video and some actual whole car in frame pictures for the first time...

Didn't do any more with the windscreen, maybe tomorrow. What I did do was fight a welder (eventually found a leaky regulator) and spend...

And three, added slightly more rake to this one and I think it's what I'm going with.

Windscreen version the second

It is not much to my aggravation. Nothing has happened since I got the initial set of computer drawings, not even the first set of test...

My plan is to do a three sided glass mount leaving the top side open. I haven't decided on a shape yet, obviously what I did there is...

First windscreen mock up

My boss and I talk about it occasionally, it's a tall order for him to have the car there. A customer came in a few days back and went...
