Re: 1929 Roadster Pickup Top Bows
The stuff that I am digging out of the bow channels seems like it is VERY hard rubber. Strangely, the corners, in the area of the latches, has some kind of plywood. Evidently, when the top was...

Re: 1929 Roadster Pickup Top Bows
All good advice! I knew wood was the best approach but hoped someone else may have an equally good idea, with less work. I do have a friend who works on wooden boats, never thought of him. He will...

Re: MARC National meets
Looking back! We went through the Ford plant and I know they were not building the 1956 or the 1959 models. I remember them 'slamming' the big flat hood so it had to be either '57 or '58. I hope...
