Ross, good job on the conez.  Before anybody makes too much fun of Lunchbox's work, I've got a story for you about blown brake lines, a very heavy car, duct tape, a two-hunnert-mile trip and our pal, Ross. . . .  Vintage Rossisms to come.

The backrests sit directly on top of the bottom cushions, but maybe you could squish'em a little and drop the backrests on the seat frames. Or just move the bottom cushions forward a few inches and drop the backrests all the way down.

so last friday i blew the frame and axles apart and took the frame over to eyeballs.  where we pinched the front from 24.5 to 20 inches. so the crossmember would sit behind the the grill.  while pinching we change said crossmember from the square and notched piece to a round one with a suicide perch with spring on top.  so the perch sticks right out of the grill

looks good- i like how the rad shell fits in it's spot.  Is the radiator going to fit there still?  I'm sorta thinking about doing the same thing on my A coupe...maybe even putting the radiator in back...?
