Tim - front to back.... has excellent vintage look, like it alot!  DF

  Thanks Alan the look I wanted when I started building this thing, thats also why I've handmade darn near every piece of hardware on this, from the steering wheel to the motor tab brackets,,, I just finished the last bit of welding on the blower intake , and have the crank hub just about done, the blower stuff is for another flathead I'm going to put together for this,,,,  Tim Jones

 I stand on the tire to go through the roof,I step over on to the frame rails in front of the cage before dropping down where I belong, though because I'm not as limber as I used to be I have a step stool to get on the tire,   It sucks to get old and beat up, When I was doing the glass work on the body ,I beefed up the drivers side roof area so i didn't break anything getting in and out,,,, Tim Jones
