Yesterday and part of today was a sewing day. I made up the canvas that fits between the radiator and the cowl. This was my first time using a treadle sewing machine. I don’t really have the foot rhythm down but I managed to get everything sewn. I also had to make up some stiffened burlap to go between the layers of canvas. I used carpenters glue and water. It seemed to work very well to match the originals.
