Some progress on Betty , The tires came in , we decided to use the GoPower wheels over the Dico wheels . The GP wheels weigh 1/3 of the Dico ones . The bearing placement allows me to use spacers and set the front track about 2 inches wider. The 4 inch tires weigh less that the 5 inch counterpart. 
The work has been real slow because my hands, wrists, shoulders and hips have not been very cooperative . Thanks to Dottie for her help.
The red material will be the primary color for the seat . 
Check out the cool vintage steering wheel we found . 
We are always fluid on our builds . We have a general plan with lots of pictures of progress and drawings of what we want it to look like . 
This was going to be powered by an AH51 and use the stock 5 inch Moss drum brake . Well that went out the window in favor of a 6 ported with booster ports , dual carb AH61 and a Bendix brake .
