Pops and I made MAJOR progress on my 1936 sedan this weekend. It's so close to being finished! We've only got a handful of things left to wrap up (including putting some air in the tires

) and it'll be road ready. I thought you guys might like to see a few pictures. I took it for a test drive around the backyard this afternoon... couldn't resist.

You need to reprimand your gardener. I see leaves cluttering up your lawn.

Thanks. It's actually an antique aircraft wheel-speed meter that's been adapted to this purpose by one of the electrical engineers my dad works with. It's powered by a tiny generator that runs off the crankshaft snout and through a flexible drive shaft. I'll try and post pictures a little later if you're interested.
