At the risk of sounding stupid, what makes a terraced house a terraced house?

Jut thought I'd share

Oops. Didn't look at you location. So curbside it is.

Looks like you are achieving the desired effect.

X2. You are brave and talented. Make sure there are secondary ducts to the rad to prevent overheating.

Neat project. It may be too late but there are some relatively cheap engines on eBaylike this Cosworth. https://www.ebay.ca/itm/AMT-1-25-1986-25-AL-UNSER-MARCH-COSWORTH-86C-CUMMINS-CART-INDY-CAR-ENGINE/264391148408?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160908105057%26meid%3Dd9db2dac53bc4c6185a057c8d8657009%26pid%3D100675%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D14%26sd%3D303216235819%26itm%3D264391148408%26pg%3D2481888&_trksid=p2481888.c100675.m4236&_trkparms=pageci%3A708aa0be-a94d-11e9-850b-74dbd1808b94|parentrq%3A04cbe78016c0aa13f5ad7802ff70c7c9|iid%3A1

Now that we know what length the body will be, we can determine the length of the fender assembly. First step, determine the location of the front of the cowl. then mark one fender assembly. Transfer mark to body. Mark the rear fender assembly. Cut, splice and hope it will fit.

Turns out I have to extend the taper a bit to match the other roof.

I have to stretch the wheelbase all right. I was going to cut the fender assembly just in front of the rear fenders, lenghten the frame to fit and fab up some new running boards..I only have one Packard rail for some reason and was planning to use either a Rolls Royce frame or a Duesenberg one which may be long enough as it is. Thanks for the offer. Let me investigate the Duesenberg frame first.

I don't see it on his website. Too early yet?

Hey Jamie, I saw on the KFS website that you are the new owner of their Holmes wrecker kit. Is that correct?

Love it.

Took these this morning on my bicycle ride.

X2.

I have to learn to do that. I have so many ideas, I would wear my cousin out who made the topic photo.

Never thought about that.

It has been pointed out that the casters on the dollies may be too small for the weight of some of those engines. So here goes.

Cut off the apron and gas tank from the Packard fender assembly. this allows the Duesenberg cab to drop right in. i will, however, have to gain some lenght in front.

It turns out he's reading the Hudson Italia article in the May 2005 issue of Hemming's Classic Cars.

He likely did as they lived in a tiny village of about 300.However, during the war he wasn't home, he worked in the shipyards in Sorel, QC building corvettes and destroyers. Joachim told me he was the one who put the rifling in the big guns. While he was there, he caught up with some of his cousins on his mother's side, his mother having died when he was 8 . After my grandfather remarried, they kind of lost touch with their mother's family. So when he was there he had met an uncle and aunt as well as their daughter and her husband. The photo we used was taken during that visit.

Between 2004 and 2013 I restored a 1934 Chevrolet which had belonged to my dad. So, the other day I loaded it and myself into the cargo bay of the time travelling machine and flew to meet him in 1942, three years before he bought the car. The conversation was interesting to say the least: Me:"Hi" Him: "Hi.Where did you get that car?" Me: "Behind your father in law's shed, where you left it." Him: "How can that be, I'm not even married". Me: "Trust me ,you will get married and you will buy this car from Joachim." Him: "My brother? He doesn't own a car and by the way, who are you? You seem to know my family." Me: "I am your son." Him: "You are freaking me out sir. You are at least 40 years older than me, how do you explain that?" Me: "That, my dear father, would be very, very complicated to explain." So we took a picture.

Looks like it might work. Now I have to build some window reveals and rescribe the door openings. And add a "bill" to the front of the roof.

Fascinating.
