@dggrant – you got @crash55 close to Pittsburgh.  He is working on his car as well so y’all should touch bases.

A lot of weird names in Sw PA. You got Mars but right next door is Moon and close by is Freedom and Economy with Laboratory down the road.

Sorry I haven’t been that active recently. I got Annie out of storage (in Wampum) only to find that mice had eaten a couple of holes in the vinyl roof cover, the hand brake has broken and the under carraige…[Read more]

@royal – I like the way you think.  I am pretty sure that I will go the route of having one custom made to avoid hassles.  I’ll start by checking with KDI Customs, @edsnova used them to make his door panels and they look really good.  I’m pretty sure I’m not going with Brooklands since my windshield doesn’t fold down but I guess I’ll have to ma…[Read more]

@billnparts – The problem that I have is that the when the top is folded down, it doesn’t tuck into the space behind the seats, it hangs over the back of the car by about six inches.  It seems to me that your top doesn’t do that (I think the same is true of @edsnova‘s and @schu‘s).  What I’m really wondering is if I have to go with something c…[Read more]

My boards are not cut.

You should be able to go both ways. The top should fold down and then be covered by the tonneau. If the top is removed you obviously would have more room.

Congratulations on the new addition. Treat it right and it will be a source of joy as you roll into the future.

Beautiful. Way to go, daddy-o.

Congratulations!

Yes, the boards are cut for the pockets. The exact construction is a mystery to me, since i paid a pro to do it. The vinyl is marine grade. I copied the Moss replacements for the original vehicles.

Same here. Masonite with a thin foam pad added.

I used the hardboard type stuff they make pegboard out of. No holes, solid, about an eighth inch or maybe 3/16 thick. I could not make my own door cards because the pockets required a pro.

Pennsylvania has a lot of interesting place names, Intercourse, Mars, Jersey Shore (which is neither in Jersey nor at the shore), Bird In Hand, and the ever popular Blue Ball.   😀

I know the Amish can accept rides in cars yet don’t own them, however, whenever I ride the car in Amish country the young Amish boys always look and some of them…[Read more]

Well, OK then. Small price to pay. Congrats!
