Newbee needing info on my Seth Thomas sidecar

XLerate, that post was well written and as a non engineering type I could follow it and understand it. Thanks.
Thank you, Wolfhound! That's just what I hoped for.
No it was not out of line. It was very informative, well written and easy to understand. It inspired me even more. One of the guys suggested I cut it here change this or that. A few of the guys at the shop thought it was ugly. A couple said they would not be caught dead in it but Norma said she would ride in it any time. Me I want to take it to the wind tunnel the next time we test.
Restore it just as it is. It is an example of perfect engineering and once restored it will last you forever. Plus you can load a
lot of groceries and stuff in it and use it as a Taxi if things get worse economically!

Same here! Thank you!
That is a great find. Looking forward to your progress with the restoration.
Wel, thanks very much, folks!
KrazyK, that would be just fabulous if you can get it in a wind tunnel! I'm sure the results will be very interesting. Just had a little disagreement with some other folks on the net over Dr. Kamm's theories so even today the future is being made as the past is learned from. Can't wait to see your finished result, and good for Norma, she sounds like a real 'Keeper' too! You are indeed fortunate...
I plan on restoring it as is. To me it is history and should be left as is. I just wish I could find more info on Seth Thomas and a the sidecars he built.
KK, Good man. You do own a piece of history so preserve it . I could not agree more with your plans.

Β Wish the best in saving it.
