'34 Dodge Brothers, double build.

More bolts in place again today. The first picture is a tin addition to the inside of the lower fender where it meets the running board apron. I'm not sure how I'm going to hook the apron to the new strip, though.
The second picture is the headlight and it's mounting pedestal bolted up, [quite a feat, as the good fenders had holes drilled for horizontal pedestals mounting and I needed vertical bolt holes.]

Nothing picture worthy today, but quite a bit of tinkering never the less.

Your tinkering is getting more done then anything I'm doing these days. Keep plugging away at it. It gives me something to read.

When the cold front came in this morning, ruining our nice Chinook, there was quite a wind storm. So I wasn't done shaving when the power went out. Boy, does it ever get dark in the bathroom in a hurry. Some of you guys should invent light that dissipates gently.
Anyhow, I imagined that a tree had fallen across the power line somewhere. I tried to think of what I could do today. Boy, these days you can't do much without electricity.
I went to town and got some lunch and a pair of coveralls. That's work related, ---- isn't it?

I've been thinking along those same lines. How dependent we are on electricity. No heat, no light, no water. Looking into getting a generator. Yes, your day was work related.

The cold front is rolling in for us last night/today. Yesterday we had a lot of wind and a bit of snow. Hard to tell how much, 1-2" on the front side of the house and 4-5" on the back side due to the wind.

Near us last night a main gas line was accidentally hit and a lot of people had no gas for several hours. Luckily we weren't impacted, but it gets you thinking. Going without gas is probably a lot easier than going without power, though.

I got to worrying about my front signal lights. They have to look old and reasonably authentic [on a vehicle that didn't have any], and the inspector who allows me to get my registration will want them to work. Plus, I probably have to have park lights in the front signals too. So for a while now I've been tinkering around with a pair of oldies. Pic one, is the base plate rebuilt to accept an 1157 12 volt bulb. This is no easy task, as the 'one filament' socket that was on there would not accept the twin filament bulb even with quite a bit of modification, [hours and hours of modification]. The 1157 bulb is almost too big to fit inside the glass, also.
Pic two is the base plate bolted to the fender. And, pic three is the glass and the tin shroud mounted.
Pic four is the steering column back in for some measuring. I've even started to look for the bracket that I made a long time ago.
