    No kidding. I have maybe 2’ on either side of her left.
    Partly why all the canvas work is goin to wait till the car is mobile.
    A, can’t wait to test drive her.
    B, have to clean out the garage before I go crazy!

    Once she’s running, I can start pitchin stuff I’ve kept just in case needed. A few dump runs and maybe I’ll pour a new epoxy floor down in the garage while I’m at it.
    Give Noddy a proper bay.

    I think, like most of us on here, my definition between used, and used up is pretty wide a gap compared to most, hehe. So yup,I’m a collector of things with mileage..
    But I do toss stuff once I’m done, and that purge is a comin!!!

    Thanks gents, like putting the taper on a wedge, only rubber..

    Really finishes the running boards off nicely.
    Moving on to the final install of the ebrake and license plate light, then the exterior door hardware next.
    Final check on the rear end, and install the fuel filter and final leg of the fuel system.
    Few more steps, then fire in da hole!

    Nice! Now you can ride on the running boards with a Thompson just like Clyde Barrow used to do!
