The lines got rather large, but I fashioned the tool out of plywood. I used a clevis pin for the metal dowel. Need to make it out of metal to use it properly. Drop me your address and I'll mail you a copy. If you machine one, make me one too! _________________________ Jim Barnhart Temple City, California Link to Jim's Chevy

I have some detailed drawings I made from a 28 version I borrowed, Gary Wallace sells them. _________________________ Lone Star Region Chat Group Chapter member http://www.lsrclub.org Life's a long winding trail, ride a good horse!

With this information I fabricated the tool. Works great. _________________________ Docs Popcorn Co

Are you going to make any extras? Please let me know if you are. 1929 Chevrolet AC International Coach _________________________ Capt. Harley

opie Grease Monkey Registered: 06/04/05 Posts: 8 Loc: Leavenworth,Kansas	Hello Mr. Mack; I have been told that the 28 and 29 tools are different. I have gotten a couple of leads on this board that I am going to follow. I appreciate your input.

However, I doubt you would be able to retire on what I could afford to pay!!!..... $\:\)$ 1929 Chevrolet: A Six in the Price Range of a Four! $;\)$ _________________________ Capt. Harley
