Default Three warm days = 29 tudor progress
We have had three wonderfully warm February days here in CT. That allowed me to make some progress on my 29 tudor. I got the driver's side front fender and hood shelf installed. The hood shelf was the hardest part with a four layer metal sandwich (hood shelf, fender, frame, and radiator splash shield) which had to all be lined up and screwed together. But I got that done and reinstalled the hood as well.

The passenger side front fender will have to wait until the next warm spell.

I WILL be driving her this summer!

Great looking car! Same model and year as mine. I believe the original color was Vagabond Green, and that is what you have yours painted?

They dumped salt a dew days ago, and we didn't even get snow or rain.

Went from 60's to 20's in one day.

It's looking great, Paul. Think you will have it ready in time for Beardsley? (I haven't yet heard, but I am assuming Beardsley's is having their meet again this year.)

Yes it will most likely be ready, but since I want to vend I will probably take my F-150. If you are in need of a horn I'll have a few (including a 28 spartan with the flat screen, a 32 spartan aoogha, and a 32 beeper), all refurbished and working beautifully.

Awesome! Hoping to have my fenders and body in paint in the next 3 weeks to start final assembly of my Tudor.
