Apologies. I will re-upload the photos soon. I work near a vintage vehicle restorer. Not just cars but tractors, trucks, carts, ploughs etc rtc And not so much a professional, as "the only one who'd touch it" type. So you can likely see a wee portable engine for something odd, like a milking machine, beside a gigantic 4 axle truck and anything in between.
Here is a few photos of current work in progress and the machines he uses. This is an pre WW1 Packard truck with a Model T truck cab scratch built from measurements.
One step up from a horse drawn wagon. Solid wooden steel banded wheels with rubber covers. Mad things.
This one has stalled until the owner saves a few (lots) more money.
This was an aircraft tug.
The Bedford is well travelled and a sort of rolling advertisment.
My favorite of the tools
Sorry about the out of focus pic...I liked this badge. I'll get a better photo soon.
More soon.

Fantastic, I could spend all day rummaging about in there. I love the tug, would be great if it could be made road legal.

That’s a great place, yes those are slip rollers. Used for rolling steel into a circle, can be used for making banded steels.

I like this. I don't know what half the things are or what they do but it's all fascinating.
That red "T" roadster should get down to the Pendine beach races. I bet they'd love it.

I was in recently to see the boys. The 1921 Packard chassis is now inside, has been fitted with its gearbox, a new starter found and fitted and its been gotten started. The mounting of the body is next up. 20200604_104532 by quickrack, on Flickr The Ford Model T hearse has had the "body" (no pun intended) mounted. Now they will start to make a cab for it from scratch. This will be gorgeous and very looong when done. I'd guess 19-20ft 20200604_104527 by quickrack, on Flickr 20200604_104504 by quickrack, on Flickr A recently dropped off Model T cab. Not sure what the story is with it yet. 20200604_104841 by quickrack, on Flickr 20200604_104852 by quickrack, on Flickr Thats if for this update. More as and when if anyone wants.
