Hot Rod Lincoln

Today, I added a windshield frame.

Beautiful Tim, the windshield frame is very nice, not too big and give a kind of aviator look, I love it!   Will it be welded to the body or bolted?

Thank you very much Francis!  You know I value your opinion highly!  There are pins in each of the three pillars that are inserted through holes in the cowl.

Still a treat to watch this one evolve...

LOL, Thanks Bill!!!  It is an evolution all right, since I’m not trying to replicate anything in particular, I’ve had the freedom to make it up as I go along.  Sometimes it doesn’t work out well, and I find myself redoing some stuff, but I am not under a time limit, so what the heck.

Famous last words!  May they live forever, Brother!

Designing on the fly is winning by/through failure!  The "BEST" is yet to come!!  Sometimes what looks good on paper may not prove to be doable in real life.  Even if you plan your work and work your plan... the outcome sometimes doesn't meet with one's own expectation.  And, if perfection isn't realized, the art of the intent is still understood.  Your vision will lead you to your best and doing your best is learning through trial and error!  And sharing is helping and teaching others... every step of the way, Brother.  Enjoy watching over your shoulder!! -KK

Tim....thx for the heads-up on this one.  I think I might have seen this for a moment as part of a thread somewhere on V-12 Lincoln parts?  Anyway, amazing to see how you bring a project together in Brass, carrying on the legacy of both your own previous brass-based work as well as that of Richard Carroll, Dave Berry,  Rich Morgan, et al.  Terrific!  TIM

Working on wheels.

The windscreen looks fabulous, and I really dig the cycle fenders on the front. Impressive craftsmanship, and a fine eye for a great line.

Hi Tim,

I'm only echoing the comments of others but I can't believe how cool this build is turning out.  Your choice for the front fenders among many other features/designs you're going with.  Your fabrication skills are great and I appreciate the tips you've been sharing as you go along.   I'll be sure to follow along as well.  cheers, tim

Thanks Tim!  That is very high praise, coming from such a gifted machinist and fabricator as yourself! I enjoy mostly sheet metal, hammer and dolly, and solder fabrication, but I would love to have just a portion of the machine skills that you and others one this board have!  Be that as it may, I am excited to share this build with anyone that is interested!
