Re: Wood for bodies

Thanks for all the replies. I have someone willing to part with a lot of ash so I might go with it. I still might use oak for the subrails because of the size needed. Is this a bad idea? I am...

Does anyone have any preference between the reproduction hoods made by Rootlieb or Brookville Roadster? I need to buy one and any advice would be appreciated.

I saw this Nipper radiator ornament at a phonograph show years ago and had to have it. It came off a delivery vehicle for a phonograph shop years ago. I have come across one other in over 30...

Re: GPS on 6VDC?

Paper and a compass work great but my eyes don't much anymore. Besides, it is nice to program them for a nice "sexy" voice giving you directions for a change.

Re: storm damage

I do plan on removing the headliner and see if there is a cleaning method that won't harm the 84 year old fabric. I will also need to replace the broken bow and replace the top. I was told that...
