It has been a while, but here is where I am at and still work to be done.
The wind shield has been installed with much adjusting, mostly after the top was put into place. This is a two bow top with a third bow added, you can see the after market wiper motor, and it is much like the 1952 motor.Wipers were made in my shop but I have a set of the real ones.Body work has to be done around the tail lights yet.I drive it to work every day and what a blast.I had a hard time with the motor idle and did some reading and this is what I came up with. I have a 1500 with a new 30/31 pict carb. they come very lean so I ordered a 125 main jet,then removed the idle jet and took a welders file set and opened the jet a little at a time,WOW now it idles great and also runs a little cooler too. I just had to pass that along. Later. Bill
Looking good Bill. It’s amazing how much more authentic the reproduction looks with the original style ws frame and roof. Great work!

It sure does look great…looks like North Carolina is becoming the TD Replica capital of the US
The more the merrier!
Thanks All.
I am now removing the boat latches and hinges from the hood and have already removed the towel bar from the front, they are a bit hokie to say the least. I have thought about moving the look a like gas tank back about 2 inches for more engine room,that would be a easy change. I have also put spacers under the tire rack that lift it about 1 3/4 inches
so the hot engine air can escape more easy around the tire and not just through the rim holes.The last items to add are tank straps and a tire rack, then it will be complete.Thanks again. Bill
