    Real drag about the virus, but the positive side is we get to see the build progress, looking forward to seeing more of the body.

    Love the look of the cap on the drag link end. New parts for brakes is a worthwhile investment.
    Just remember your priority is your classes even though they’re online. We can wait for videos.
    I’ll be picking my daughter up this weekend now that she’s had time to figure out her research project with her professor.
    Online exams should be very interesting to see how the schools figure out how to try to prevent cheating.

    Wow, simply wow. I can't tell you how much of a relief it is to see somebody doing calm and precise work. With the world going crazy around and people shouting at each other, I always think: look at this guy. You can't engineer something as delicate as this by yelling and swearing. This is just so impressive.

    Those Brake Modifications have lifted the project to an even more authentic period look, The end finisher for the drag link was an inspired bit of thinking well done.While the Pandemic is Terrible for us all, your car build video's are a wonderful Look forward and Distraction. Thank you for sharing and take care of yourself.

    There is no better way of self isolating than closing the workshop door on the World for a while. Nice looking brakes and the finial was perfect.

    @leebatt7964 3 роки тому

    I cant even remember the last time I worked on a drum brake. I’m guessing it was well before this young lad was born. It was a wise decision to go with new brake assemblies. Some nice braided lines would add to the look.

    Great idea. Good to see you fit and well. This is looking good. Stay safe and well! I look forward to watching as we are locked down in our houses in France and will continue to be for months. It's the only way to stop this thing. But watching you build this beauty will help! Good luck.

    it is the details that take time and you can do a lot of work with not much to show, then like magic, a lot of stuff goes together and you feel you have made progress. We that is how it feels to me on my retoration project.

    You could always drill some speed holes in those backing plates and get them chromed, or build some cooling vents. Louvered side panels would look cool too.

    I love your dirty, rough hands (I hope that sounded ok). So often I see people working on very clean, new parts, wearing rubber gloves, yuck. I can see the love of building that you have and solving problems, not just rushing thru and taking short cuts. My shop is my therapy and relaxation. Glad you can still finish the school courses.

    Enjoying your work very much. I admire your skills and workmanship.
    I notice that the very front "horns" of the chassis are not connected to one another, whereas most, if not all period cars had a tubular crossmember tying the two together. Might it be worth mocking it up with a bit of tube or dowel- you might think it looks" right"

    • @MacroMachines
      @MacroMachines  4 роки тому

      I have, and I probably will put a tube across the front because I like that look

  • @paultavres9830

    Think what would have been cool is big vintage drums but build internally mounted disc brakes so the drums arefor only looks if it is possible
    But looks really cool

    Very nice craftsmanship, one thing. You don't need to have shown each brake upgrade. One front brake upgrade and one rear upgrade would be enough. Very nice little project to the steering link, looks great.

  • @newjerseybill3521
    @newjerseybill3521 4 роки тому

    What will you be using as a parking brake setup? I don't remember if there was a drive shaft parking brake, or if you will be running cables to the rear brakes, if they are equipped with the parking brake hardware.

    • @MacroMachines
      @MacroMachines  4 роки тому

      the rear brakes are set up for a cable parking brake

  • @jaccounts4659

    Hi nice job love this series, can I ask you why you don’t use disc brakes for the front?

    • @MacroMachines
      @MacroMachines  4 роки тому +2

      because that would ruin the '30s theme of the car

    Hey MacroMachines. So I noticed that there were no cotter pins or any wire through the castle nuts in the back, is it suppose to be done like that? Man you are so talented, to be able to just make those end caps like that..pretty cool man. Have a good one man

Now that I see the body, the next thing I want to see is the engine rebuild and the radiator fitting/build.
