I've been compiling, so far almost 3 gb of jpgs. Once the pictures are organized, I plan to do some "introduction" text for each folder. It's going to be to the best of my memory, hope I don't run into any liability issues. As far as making them available, someone suggested using my Google web address and putting them on the cloud in some form.

So far, searched for thehandleman and didn't come up with anything, sad to say.

I've begun to organize them. Since thumb drives are so cheap, maybe I could send individuals who order them, a thumb drive. But I don't know yet how large the collection is. I'd guess right now between 5-10 gigabytes. Not sure. A gigabyte of pictures is a LOT of pictures.

Need latch handle and related hardware for this car.

Some of the pictures are before-during-after and some are from the shop of Fran Roxas, I did woodwork for him for 30 years on some really fine Pebble Beach cars. Also for Chicago Vintage Motor Carriage and Chicago Restorations. I can vaguely identify what most of the cars were. There are also shots of work in progress where I haven't got a clue, those are probably useless.

I've been working on '20s and '30s cars pretty much full-time since 1988. There are thousands of pictures in a semi-organized state, that I took in the course of doing my work. Don't know if I should save them or not, if they'd be of value to anyone. Typical pictures, of a Franklin

Sorry, this is the picture that goes with my post!

This is my Grandmother, Mother and older Brother and Sister, we would like to identify this car.

Would like to know where I could find them.

Just the body leaf on the bottom hinge for this '31 Cadillac Sedan.

Just need pattern for front door posts on a Model A, not a whole car. Thanks for a response.

Thanks.

This is a picture showing the metal and rubber window track that's on a Packard convertible coupe. It's for glass in a 1/2" frame. I thought Steele Rubber would have it, but they don't. It goes on the convertible top mechanism as well, to frame the entire window. Hoping to find it somewhere.

The seat has a nice sliding mechanism for the driver's seat only and fits the car perfectly. The sill was beautifully made, I think for a Graber Packard, but is 2 1/4" thick. I'll have to make a custom opening for the seat. Thanks for all the other observations about fastening the pan, very useful.

Seems like the only thing that makes sense. Thanks for adding weight to my argument. Don't want this car to end up looking like something from Ace Ventura.
