Tom M

Mark, Different Joe. He is Joe M. from Bolingbrook. I am not sure how long he has been involved but he said he really enjoys being part of it. I am not sure what day he was planning on attending but I had mention to him that I would like to tag along with him. Will let you know what day and look forward to meeting you also.

Was on the phone the other day talking to my friend Joe and found out he is involved with Brushmasters he is one of the artists. I am hoping to make it out to the Show to support him and the work of others for this wonderful auction/event they do.

Matt, Purchased mine from Narragansett Reproductions - Wiring Harnesses and antique car / automobile restoration supplies. The quality was great, price too. Came with easy to read installation instructions.

I wanted this car but it was way past my budget :eek: 1970 PONTIAC GTO JUDGE Lot 1015.2 | Barrett-Jackson Auction Company

Hi Dave, I purchased mine from here www.runningboardmetaltrim.com and was very please with his service.

Mark, Check here. Classic car headliners, bowstyle (sewn panel) headliners for antique cars. You will see my coupe picture under the 1930 to 1934 Packard 2 door Coupe replacement headliner area. I had asked for quotes about a year or so ago and they used my car for the measurements and picture to add to their site. I can't vouch for their work because I am not ready to purchase it yet.

I am going to read mine on my flight down to Florida for a much needed two week vacation

I already mailed out the check for renewal and I also order the 75th book at the same time. This was before I received my Nov/Dec issue which I just received earlier this week. Am I ok? Thanks

Hey it would please both sides the Black Wall likers and the white wall likers Really why deduct if black or whites are correct? Maybe the guys budget was tight so he could only buy two whites at a time????? What if one had dual side mounts or even the rear mounted spare would they have the match?

Wow what amazing talent you have there nice work.

Yesterday I sprayed the some SPI bed liner on the underside of the fenders. Was going to brush it on but I did not like the way it was brushing. So I decided to put the 2.2 tip in the HF purple gun I use for spraying the High Build and Epoxy with and this is the results I got out of it. It turned out pretty decent I must say. After going hog wild yesterday spraying the undersides. Late today (after Bears game) I got the topside sprayed with some SPI SS Black. Will get some better pictures tomorrow with some natural light on them.

Yesterday sprayed 3 coats of high build primer on the rear fenders. Today I blocked sanded them with some 180 tomorrow a few more coats of high build primer sand with some finer grits then I will spray some epoxy primer as a sealer coat (hopefully weather will warm up some for that stage) then spray the Black top coat and then finally get them reinstalled on car.

Motoringicons, Thanks for sharing your pictures. It turned out to be a beautiful day.

Steve, Thanks for following up with us. I sent off an email off to the chair person but have not heard back yet. Wanted to see the list of the events and where the car show will be located. Is the showfield at the hotel?

Hum I asked that same question in the sticky ^ Yes what day would be best? Thanks

Some progress this summer. Had new running boards made (first pic), powder coated and I have releasable them and installed on car. Reassemble luggage rack and installed on car. Painted, wet-sanded and buffed rear valance (cover over gas tank) and install.

palosfv3, Will you be showing any of your cars?

Geneva Concours d'Elegance 2011 I will be attending but once again only as a spectator. My car is road worthy but not 100% complete. Someday it will be.

If we are back early from vacation that week what day would be the best day to go to see all the beauties. Thanks

I purchased the running board trim for my '31 from here. Not sure what other years he covers. L & L ANTIQUE AUTO TRIM, Running board mouldings - Superb replica aluminum trims for most makes and models from the early 1900s. 403 Spruce Street, PO Box 177, Pierce City, MO 65723 (417) 476-2871

Been working over here in Portugal for the last three weeks so Old Bessie is waiting for me to get back home to install her running boards and work on her fenders.

Pictures of the rear bracket

Good Morning Tim, Here are some pictures of the bracket of the front and rear brackets on the left side of the car. If you need any other angle please let me know. Don't mind the gray fender. I still need to get at painting the fenders. Packard Hood bracket pictures by packin31 - Photobucket

Tim, I have a 833 Coupe. I can take some pictures of what you are looking for this weekend. 1. Images of the bracketry for the front hood clamp closure. Are you looking for the bracket that is bolted to the radiator? 2. Where does the cowl vent drain tube route? Mine does not have a tube. I don't recall seeing any evidence of any holes in that area for a tube. May be different for the convert. 3. We need a cowl vent lever handle. Either one to buy or borrow so that we can have one cast. My father had purchased a new one for my car but I can not find any receipts of where he did. If mine was not mounted back on car already I would of shipped it to you for making a copy. 4. Any extra headlight bulb sockets out there? I have no extras sorry
