Roof Deuce Restoration
I really like seeing folks' in-process photos of the restoration of their cars so I thought I'd return the favor.
Most of you probably remember this car being talked about a few years ago on this site. Steve Sandlin bought the car from the Roofs and about a year ago I caught Steve in a weak moment and now I own it. The car is being restored in Donahue, Iowa by the mayor and his crew. The car is going back together now and is a few months from completion. Earl and Linda Roof were the original owners of this Deuce and bought it in Canonsburg on September 19th 1970. As found photos: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...7704-Roof3.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...ered/Roof4.jpg Note the smog pump bracket is still in place in this photo: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...d/IMG_0009.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...IM002268-1.jpg |

Re: Roof Deuce Restoration
Sammy - I have all of the Roof's Day-2 parts and most are restored. Car will intitially go together nearly stock and eventually Day-2 including original Cherry Bombs, slapper bars, McCreary tires, Fly-eye. headers, Ansen aluminum slots, etc. will come later.

Re: Roof Deuce Restoration
Original "SS" Wheels are in very nice shape and so are the original Yenko caps.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...DSCF8812_2.jpg Three of the four McCreary tires run on the Deuce are in terrific shape. Don White (GTO Don) helped me out with the 4th (and 5th). Thanks Don. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...s/P1080391.jpg Ansen aluminum slots (4) that were run on the Deuce. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v6...n_PICT0288.jpg |

Re: Roof Deuce Restoration
Hey Linda. Nice of you to stop in. Mom is in Indiana now and says it is downright cold. I can understand your wanting to hear some Beach Boys right now. Seems that's the closest you'll get to a warm sunny beach https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/crazy.gif . I may be heading back to Indiana sooner than later. I'll let you know. Be talking to you soon.
Say 'hey' to Earl and stay warm (looks like you are headed all the way up to the 30's tomorrow https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/laugh.gif )! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif |
Re: Roof Deuce Restoration
This is pretty much all that I gave to the talented Mr. Cumby in order to recreate the vintage Gabriel decals that were found on the Roof's day two air shocks. His results are below......... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif
