[sgtpontiac]

Webster will get that one.....

"Sompany "(noun) pronounced "Sum Pany".... meaning having someone along for the ride for companionship..... a derivative of "Some Company"......English or Canadian in nature....

 

[ratrodgirl]

ok so i last night started work above the doors and going to be workin around the window.All the window support are gone and have no glass so trying to sort out how im going to do this?I still waiting on parts so i cant start on the interior flooring ect just yet,but know what direction thats going thanks for helping on that guys I was going try and take a video and post it but my phone makes it hard to see when its dark so hoping with the day light i can, and you can see a little more detail

fenders

are you going fenderless or will you be driving the car in the rain and whatever weather?

reason l ask is on my 33/34 thing, l used channel just a touch bigger than 1/4'' for the window tracks and 1/4'' plexiglass/lexan for the windows. no wing windows as it would be to hard to do. l just pop rivited the channel to the inside of the door/window frame. mine still has the window hardware and rolls up and down so l extened the channel 8-''10'' down inside the door. that way it has side windows but they are not waterproof. mine won't be driven in crappy weather so this is not a big deal to me. l also stuck a heater in mine that is outta a 1940ish truck so its small and works well.

Later cool:

'latre' - is that French for later? [ddev[ddev

Do you mean the window tracks are all missing? If you don't have the roll hardware but have a track, you can attach seat belt to the bottoms of the plexi. Add a snap at the up and down positions and your set.

Love the little 200 ford (1966 and up BTW). I have one in my speedster and love it. They like to rev and sound great with a straight pipe off the stock manifold.

The rest looks great. I wish I could paint stuff like your gauge panel.

 

[ratrodgirl]

and yes your right my bad meant to say 60"s lol was given a 40's engine to rebuild but not using it going with the 200 got it runnin and lovee the sound

you know me, just tryin' to make folks feel at home here

on my windshield l can't find the tracks and a friend who owns a glassshop, he is just gonna cut one to fit and use the black goo and glue it in. it won't open, but l really don't care as long as its legal and l have a windshield in her. l am not running wipers so that helps by not having to make a wiper work or get in the way when its glued in.

in washington we have a fair weather law, no fenders or wipers in good weather. since l'll have neither it won't get driven in the rain.

do ya have that up there?[S

I like the bullet theme. Show us those switches!

i will need to have windshild wipers, b.c law states you must have them

But you can go fenderless, no? I saw this car when I was in BC a couple months ago. I'm sure he was happy to have a wiper. We drove through an hour of hellacious rain, 100 miles from nowhere.

Now here's something stupid. I live in SK. Our laws say you can go fenderless if the vehicle is operated on a dry paved surface. But, if the vehicle was manufactured with wipers, you have to have them, and in operable condition. So you can't drive in the rain, but you have to have wipers. Huh? [S

Maybe it's the same in BC. I guess it's a good thing if you get caught like the guy in the vid.
