A local Model T restorer has been helping to keep me busy with these odd wood jobs lately. This car was rewooded at some time in the past and whoever did it replaced the front wood floor board risers with metal ones. The current owner wants wood risers, so I'm Making a set. He wants the car returned to what it was when Grandpa bought it new. Sentimentality, it's whats for lunch, it's what keeps me fed anyway.
New brakes getting installed on the 1929 Bentley Speed Six. Greg Porter is working hard on some long needed maintenance items on it.. Bearings, King Pins, Linings, etc... all needed work.. Ordered parts from England and brake shoes were re-lined by Chris at Industrial Brake and Clutch. See pics of rear brakes going back together!!!
the video tells all, a really awkward shape I thought we may have to just sculpt by hand with a grinder
Happy Fourth of July from all of us at RumbleSeat! 🇺🇸

Monterey auction season has started which means the best collector inventory of the year will be added to catalogs as of now. RM has a crazy selection of cars and I'll probably start a separate thread on that auction. I wanted to talk about this RR and why it is so awesome.

Food For Thought...
Wow!!! just shows you that not all great ideas are great ideas. at some point in time someone decided an electric water tank level gauge would be a good addition, so they fitted a standard gasoline tank level one, these have an open variable resistor, and water and an aluminium tank/parts and electrolysis takes place , serious corrosion
I was concerned how much of a nuisance it was going to be having immovable cars parked , I decided to take some heavy wall tubing and make so temporary axles to keep the cars movable, ali hubs with ball races and threaded RH and LH to take the Rudge Whitworth nuts
