Re: Roof Deuce Restoration
 
Hey Rich,

The thought had crossed my mind. I personally plan on coming and certainly want to bring the Deuce with me if at all possible. Ed Montini (enio45) and I talked about getting a transport truck together (like Stefano and Mike G. do) and see if we can find 4 other cars in our area to make the same journey to Collinsville with us. I'll post something on a separate thread.

Thanks!

P.S. Your Nova gonna be there? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

Here is another crayon marking on the block that I wanted to post. Would like to hear from others regarding its meaning:

One of the benefits of a low mile car, even if it needs to be restored, is that many of the original parts are still with the car. I am fortunate in that I had to track down relatively few parts. Here are some of the more significan items that I had to track down (both of these were reworked/restored by Jerry Macneish):

This is the original WW reservoir believe it or not. The 1st lady of Donahue is rumored to have a secret process to return this bottle to this incredible condition https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif ....

Those are the original valve covers and were also done by Jerry Macneish.
