It’s starting to look like a 34 roadster with its rumble seat lid open. We’re doing a little preassemble to check and adjust the fit. This will be the first of many fittings of the various componets prior to final paint.
It just needs a spare tire and were almost back on the road! Not quite but the convertible top fits well.
The front and rear fenders are complete and coated with Dupont DTM epoxy.
The windsheild and convertible top windshield stanchions fit perfectly so we know the cowl wood and stanchion brackets are now in the correct positions.
There’s still work to do on the fit of both doors..
Its so nice to see the windshield back on the car. Although temporary, I know it wont be long until I’m sitting behind it!
Did someone say winter is coming? Well I have spring 2014 to look forward to and it will be the 80th anniversery of the 1934 Ford a perfect time to complete my restoration!

STEVE:I am very much enjoying your process and it’s visual and literal representations.As I prepare-as best I can-to enter my eighth decade.I have to realize that it is doubtful that I am going to be able to construct another Ford Model 40-710 although I have 40 percent of the open car stuff I would need to do so.I should find a custodian for my irreplaceable & unduplicatable. E mail me and I will get you a direct line PH.No rush.Is that aTrico KSB 103 I see,and Is that an OEM W/S frame a blind man could tell but I can see! Regards,Jack
