Happy Father’s Day

Happy Father’s Day to all of you dads out there! I hope your day was as good as mine. All three of my kids came and helped me assemble the chassis for my 14 roadster. It was truly a wonderful day!

Your frame is the same as the one I bought. I did not get the tour body support brackets but the frame is drilled for them.

Re: Check your wheels

Another check that I do on my 21 touring with demountable wheels is to tap the spokes with your knuckle. A loose spoke will sound differently than a solid one. I do this every time I wash the car even with new wheels. I also look for excessive paint chipping at joints.
