Re: 1930 boat tail speedster from a rough starting point

Sunday I did one of those two steps back and one step forward... I've changed my approach to the trunk lid design. I was having trouble with stability and accuracy of the inner trunk lid. So I cut the edge off, welded it to the hinge plates and tacked on new edges that are very accurate. I also got the latch handle laid out. Now I still have several days of work left to get the trunk lid finished.

Today I started to rebuild the distributor. My plan is to convert it to an MSD magnetic pickup and hide everything inside of the original distributor. We'll make a new plate for the inside and a two part shaft. I will document this in detail as I get it done.
