Tom Geiger

I have paint that may be close, I need to spray some to see. Im sticking with the details from the first photo.. I like it better without the doors. I may make some cushions but not permanently fix them so I can display either way. Yea that seat looks like torture on the bumpy roads of St Thomas. I have an idea to build the roof, which will be removable. The build won’t be an exact replica, I already see some differences I won’t change. But it will be recognizable.

Thanks Rob! Here’s the other shots I thought I had posted...

What’s the point?

It’s been a few days since I last posted progress. I did take a breather from the bench for a day or two, and have been playing with other projects as well. Still, I’d get a little done here every day. Above is the roll bar. The one on the Jeep is wider than any I found in kits, about 60” wide. I did find one bar that wasn’t wide enough but was too tall. It worked out that I could use the removed height to add to the width. I still may rethink the roll bar as the actual one appears to be much thicker. And here we are with most of the body work done. I just have the bed rail to add, note the top side panels are drilled for it. I also have to fashion a thin set of front wheel flares. Then it’s off to primer..

Heating entire universe

You got my snow! There was a 90% chance of snow overnight but woke up to no snow. And that’s just fine with me! ⛄️

Looks great!

Leaving hobo naked!

Many of us buy our blades in larger packs, I get the 100 pack. I dispose of used blades by simply wrapping them in blue tape. i have two 50 drawer sorting units on the shelf over my bench for small parts. I pull from that all the time. I have drawers marked for everything from valve covers, wheel backs and even small round shapes.

Wow! That looks great!

Dave- A thought.. When one hits the little newspaper icon at top of page for: Unread Content Showing all content I have not read and posted in for the last 365 days This is the slowest activity on both my iPhone and Windows 10 laptop. I can imagine it is indexing tens of thousands of posts! When I do my own search and limit timeframe to 90 days or even 6 months, it is much quicker. Would your setting the default search to 6 months be possible? I think that could solve a lot of the slowness issues!

Dispensing free beer ?

Even closer! I believe the shop was in Malvern. Same area, all within five miles

Ive gotten a bit of work done on the Jeep.. I have the rest of the bed panels made and modified a roll bar to fit. I couldn’t find one wide enough, but this one was too tall. I shortened it and used the piece to widen it. Using the squirrel ? defense... While waiting for things to dry on Jeep A, I cobbled together another chassis for a 2WD Jeep from parts. Jeep B up on wheels. Yea, I’m hopeless..

Drizzling a bit in the Philly burbs.. expecting a bit of fluffy white overnight. Hopefully not a lot!

Ive been doing the 24 Hour Build since 2013. I will be building the Red Chariot to add to my line of Monogram Model As. I don’t have the classic box, I have later issues of the Phaeton and the unique old parts that make this famous old kit. Join in folks, it’s a lot of fun. This year we will have a Zoom meeting up the entire 24 Hours.

I believe they were from Malvern, PA, which is a town or two over from me. Last I knew Pam was still out there at car events signing pix of the ta-ta’s. ?

Wearing big britches

Yea, Facebook has those clickable all the time.. whether it’s 50 never before Walton facts or WWII pin up girls their objective is to make you wade through 1000 ads because they get paid for every viewing.. looks like easy money, I should set up some pages!

Nice looking car! It doesn’t need to be a rumbling menace, just something nice to cruise around town is just wonderful!

Looks good! You avoided the rookie mistake of over doing it! Good eye!

Scary cool! That body came much later! Everything from windshield back.. looks like they took a complete body from something. Side windows cobbled even later. Hmmm.. looks like a project!

I’ve had the same experience.. people who had no idea! And were very grateful. And when they had one register open and a long line, I made sure everyone on that line knew about it!? And single guys.. a great way to meet women who understand guys that have a craft! Hey babe, how’d ya like my magic coupon!

Smart money would develop those off the 67 Chevy kit.. they should have all the files handy..

If this was Startrek, we’d be the guys going to the shows in our Capt Kirk jammies! ?
