Brass looking electric fan.
I got my electric fan the other day for my 32' sedan. I didn't want it to stick out with it being black plastic. So I painted and antiqued it to look like brass. Now it blends into the radiator a little better.

1928 roadster upgrades finished!
I finished up all the upgrades to the 28' roadster today. The last thing I've been upgrading was the brakes. I replaced the single master cylinder with a dual master cylinder. I got the brake pedal ratio from 3 to 1 back to 6 to 1. And I got the front brakes converted to a more modern Bendix style self energizing drum brake setup. Care was taken to not change anything visually on the car, we just wanted to make it easier to drive and stop. With all the upgrades the brakes work super nice now!

Patch panel welded in!
I got the patch panel all welded and grinded. Now its the process of leveling all the waves in the patch panel so that it flows with the rest of the fender.

Plymouth Passenger Front Fender
Ive been working on the passenger front fender. It had some big dents on the front of the fender that I worked out. And im filling in the spare tire hole. I used the drivers side fender for patterns of the curves top to bottom and side to side. Then I rolled out a patch panel on the enlgish wheel. Its all trimmed, and ready to tack in place.
