This shows the latest picture I have. I really have progressed to the wood on the back of the body and the panels for attaching the upolstry. I am using 1/8 inch tempered hard board, one of my cousin's friends had manufactured a complete cowling using hardboard and it seemed  better than Henry Ford used common cardboard. I am improving on the original design???

We are finally upgrading to windows 7 on the laptop anyway and 7 does not support Microsoft outlook express so I am changing my e-mail to hotmail. Our (jack & Joyce) e-mail address will be and already is j_jgates@hotmail.com. Seems a simple move but I am sure I will find some twist that will make things more difficult.
