Hi WillH,
May I be the first to welcome you onboard.
This is the best forum I have joined to date, they are really a bunch of nice guys.
I can see that Texas needs it's own Simplex club.
The total rises every day for Texas owners and enthusiasts.
Good luck on the build and keep us posted.
Cheers
Stafford

Welcome aboard! 

Posting pictures is easy.  Just click the additional options link directly below the message area, then click "choose file".  It is that easy.

I think it's just disgusting that you have cool old pictures.....I don't have any pictures of projects for earlier days.  I used to wheel & deal in old cars I would usually take a picture of them, but would usually include my ex-wife in them.....when we got divorced I threw them all away......if I had only known that photoshop would be available some day......

You sound like me of course you are an old guy I'm only 70.  I currently have 3 James MLs, 1 James Comet, 1 48 Harley Hummer, 4 Simplex 48, 52, 53, 56.  I am located 15 miles northwest of Sulphur, la.  I have a 53 Simplex with very good sheet metal and a rebuilt engine I would sell.  I also have a 46 James ML with a totally rebuilt engine I am going to sell.  If you or anybody else is interested let me know.

Hi Guys,
There is so many of us in Texas we need to pick a place to get together.
I was into three wheeled cars like the Messerschmitt a few years ago.
A bunch of us got together in Dallas one year and just hung out talked cars and traded info.
It was a blast and I was shocked at the amount of Micro and  Mini cars there is in Texas.
Just thinking.
Cheers
Stafford
