  1. Having learned the art of lead work many years ago, and on occasion still use it, the repairs you need to do need new metal welded in place. Everything needs to be shiny clean

    No matter what method you use the repair is no better than the surface it is applied to.

    There is nothing wrong with body putty when used properly

  2. In defense, for the first time in over 50 years I had no parts in my space, my dad took me there the first time in 1956. I think I have a pretty good reason,

    77 years old, open heart not long ago, was employed to get two pre 15 cars running for the auction, all my parts are pre 15 as well. I spent some time visiting in

    the flea market. And no I did not have a devise to ride on, I walked. Put simply I didn't have the energy to load my truck with parts that 99% of the people

    posting here and attending would even know what they were. Sorry to sound like a butt hole.

  3. I'm glad you guys like the top. It is something I have never liked very much and one of the reasons I'm wanting to sell it.

    The top is made by Morgan and was very expensive in 1917, you could have bought a Ford for what the top cost.

    Part of me wanted to remove it and reinstall a touring top and windshield, the other part said don't even consider it.

    If it had the touring configuration I would not be selling.

  6. I don't recommend Author Gould, they have changed hands. Sent my Pierce pump to them for a new shaft.

    Spent nearly $500, part of it shipping, the shaft was not right and they would not stand behind there work. PM me if you have questions
