Re: Auction results in Varina Va.
I’m interested in the shiny hand brake handle and the extra stanchion in photo number 3. What are you asking for those?
I’ll send you my contact info via PM.

Re: UPDATE - 61st Annual OCMAFC Pancake Breakfast

Re: Front seatback riser question
It doesn’t look like the seat riser on my 29 roadster. The coupe seats that have a wooden frame are also different from the roadster seats which don’t have a wooden frame.
