That reminds me, I have to get some tickets for the dinner. I can wait for the trans. I am also having bows made buy a guy in Chambersburg for about the same price. mine looked like they were in good shape, but when the top was taken off, they had been repaired many times and rotten under the fabric.

Hi Guys, Some of the parts are for the 17 Touring Staff car Bob. The restoration is going slow. Uncile Sam sent me to Iraq for a year and things stopped there. Now I am back and want to get started again. is that a picture of your car with the PPG paint? it looks great ! I am also looking for a frame and running gear for a speedster project I want to do ( kinda like the yellow one on the DBC web links) I think it would be a neet project , and a way to get some parts back on the road. I'm not sure how they built that one it looks like the body may be custom made. does anybody know? I am intrested in the auction in Ohio Mark, Thanks and I am intrested in that aluminum trans Too. Keep the ideas comming

Hi, everyone, I am starting the restoration on my 17 touring car. I need some help, and a lot of parts. #1 problem is the wheels, The car now has disk wheels. I know they are not original but I am stuck with them. The hubs and maybe the entire rear end must be from a later car to go with the disks. two of the disks are no good. so what do I do ? find to disks to go on a car I know will not be original? or try to replace the drive train to except the correct wood spokes. What size should they be? any ideas? #2 I also need many other parts, to include Vacuum tank, top bows, top/seats (lether) My e-mail is oundawg@cox.net Can anyone Help? Thanks, Mark Ounan

Hi Dave, I have a touring car built in Jan 1916. it has an Aluminum pan and magneto ignition. the engine # is not on the left side of the cilinder wall. you may find it on top of the timing chain cover My engine # is 97375+15 body # is 46006. I am almost sure my engine is original. E-mail me and I'll send you a picture of the engine and where to find the number, oundawg@cox.net Good Luck, Mark

It will be about a 2 hour drive from Falls Church to Hershey. you will most likley take the beltway (495) around Washington. then 270 north. 270 will turn into 15 north when you hit PA. look for 581 east at Camp hill. take it. look for signs to Hershey. or do a Map Quest for the Hotel Hershey. that will get you close. call me if you need help.

My 1916 Touring running boards and floor boards are GRAY from an older restoration (early 70's ) is this wrong? It sounds like they shoud be TAN. Mark

Thanks for the help Rodger, buy the way, with you being the TC for 4 cylinders I sure would like to talk to you and pick your brain somtime. this is me first classic and I don't want to mess it up doing somthing I should not Thanks , Mark

It's a 1916 Touring car. It was restored in the early 70's and is now showing its age (again) It is cracked around the return pipe where the top hose clamps on. And I can see rust looking down in with the cap off.

I am looking for a good shop that does restoration work in the northern Virginia area or Maryland or south central PA. And can enybody recomend a shop that knows dodge radiators? I think mine needs a rebuild. THANKS, Mark

I found it ! it floats fine when the engin is off but has no resistence when the engin is running is that OK ?

Today is Nov 1st Ichecked the spot on the block where the manual says the oil check is but the magneto is mounted right there. am I looking in the wrong place?

Does anyone know where I can order water pump grease? I cant find it anywhere and nowone has ever heard if it. Can I use regular grease? I used regular grease on all the suspention grease cups but was told to use water pump grease only for the water pump.
