Guest DBAcadia Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 O.K. I know we're not to put the knife to these things. I bought what was labeled a '26 Sedan as a parts car. Turned out it was only covered in 1/4" of dust, no roof, interior, or windows, and is a'27 model ( advance down through steering). Removed doors and body, preserving windshield,cowl, and seat bucket. Used cowl from doodlebug tractor and rear fenders that were incorrect for '21 truck they came with but correct for 116" frame. Here's what I made. Notice rear window metal is now soda (beer) cooler. More pics available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DBAcadia Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Well this is too secret. I know Vern from Hershey and probably some of you else. I've been collecting DB stuff since I bought one 4 years ago after my best friend was killed on a motorcycle in front of me. Here on Mount Desert Island we have Acadia National Park which is very popular with a 23 mile motor road loop posted 35 mph. That's what started me in nickel cars. I invite you all to come at any time . I am also involved with the Seal Cove Auto Museum, located here on Mount Desert Island in Seal Cove, which is the remainder of the collection of the late Richard C. Paine Jr. and is possibly the premier brass era car collection world wide. We are currently showing the only known existing 1915 FRP at Amelia this weekend. Please check their website for updates this weekend. Thanks for the tech tips on my behalf, and if you'd like to join the Seal Cove Auto Museum google them and join us. Tommy A.

Guest DBAcadia Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Very well, Vern. Had planned on driving to Amelia for the Concours but I think we've decided one days drive is enough for us. Sorry I missed you at Hershey, we'll try and draft more helpers so we can leave our booth more. This was rainy,windy Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
