Glad you have joined us Darren. Unfortunately you have just missed a day we spent with Peter Tommasini here in Melbourne but we have a weekend coming up in July at Oldnek Johnny’s in Ulladulla If you can get there I’m sure you would enjoy it. Don’t forget to post some photos as you will find a wealth of knowledge here. Cheers jleftie

Default 1916 Pullman

Thanks for the Add and welcome I have been having a wonderful time looking at the forum getting ideas, I Have tried to attach a few pictures of the hand Made body 1916 Pullman Model 424 Deluxe Coupe, bodied by Roy M. Meisenhelder’s Sheet Metal, Auto and Body Works (later Meisenhelder’s Body & Fender Shop), 1918-1956, York, Pennsylvania. A true craftman, This is my ultimate goal, I will need to practice on a few cars first and update My tooling.
