    Great build, hearing your machinist talk about rallying a sunbeam reminded me of a 54 sunbeam talbot saloon I restored many years back, it had the original engine but the starter malfunctioned so I hand cranked it for a while, then the distributer fell apart and couldn't get parts so I put a bunch v6 with an automatic trans and drove it 3 years before selling it, loved that car wish I still had it

    This one is turning out quite radical, in a traditional sort of way. Have you looked at the Steve Grimes modifieds? There are five of them in total. You may find them really cool. one of those cars has a Crosley engine.

    Looks great! We do know one old timer in the Denver area who does that sort of small machining jobs, a feller named Schenck. He bored out the hub holes on old bolted wheel Plymouth hubs and pressed in studs for me for my Jeep rat rod project. Good you have Ted’s, those guys are worth their weight in gold

    "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plains?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky ." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction ." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

    Love that quaint village that you live with a machinist thatlivers right down the street...You have some great friends..I am getting inspired for my 1928/GN Morgan build...I am still sourcing my own small machine shop so I can make nearly any parts needed...I will definitely start the series locating and getting the equipment up and running...Once they are working then the build shouldn't take long from what I am predicting...Super cool and super fast build so far Brian..I am going try and do some of the videos where there is a minimum of editing. I really like feeling like I am right there with you doing whatever...Thank you for sharing your life and build with all of us...-John

    Great progress Bryan, really transforms it with the wires. A thought occurred to me ( again 😆) seeing the backplate bolts and stub axles. On the big Ducato/Partner vans, the rear stub axles are bolted on to the axle beam by just four bolts , no spigot or anything. They’re also the backplate/anchor bolts. Just made me think , your framing around the axle/stubs is never going to fail 😊😊
