I’ve built many cars in the past and have always
found it difficult to document the progress of my projects with pictures. I
tend to get so engrossed in the work that I forget to stop and document my
progress. One project that I did years ago (in the early 70’s) I spent three
months on a radical redo of a 31 Model A Ford coupe that I owned. I neglected
to photograph any part of the project. At that time the car was really leading
edge with, Jaguar rear end, space tube frame, coil over front suspension and air
conditioning. Before I was able to complete the car all of the suspension parts
and almost everything that would unbolt from the engine and transmission was
stolen from the chrome shop where the parts were to be plated. Needless to say
the project was never finished and I didn’t even have photographic evidence
that the project ever existed. So all of the projects that I have done since
then I’ve tried to make a special effort to stop and take pictures. Well I
could have documented this project a lot better than I did but I’m still
trying.
