keiser31 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 (edited) Well....it has been about 5 years since the planets were aligned enough for me to get my 1931 DB 2 person coupe back on it's feet and running. Thank you so very much to my friends, Pete Bedia and his friend Sarge for all that they did for me. They brought an extra 1931 DB engine up to me from Los Angeles. While they were here, they helped my replace the master and wheel cylinders, bought me a new battery and got most of the new wire loom hooked up. I still have some wiring to figure out, but they must have done something correct because it actually started up! As soon as I get the rest of the wiring figured out and get the little beast registered, I will be driving it daily again. Yay!

viv w Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Congrats Keiser, Very nice to see it out in the open. It brings back memories for me, when growing up in the 60's and 70's my best friend's parents had a 1930 DD6 R/S coupe, we went all over Zimbabwe and even down through Mozambique to Beira in the rumble seat of that car, it was a nice touring car.

If you go to YouTube and type in "1931 Dodge" or "John Keiser", you can see some older videos of the car on the road and the story about it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intimeold Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 This is what the old car hobby was and still is. Most of us remember working on a friend's car, to give him a hand. Well done intimeold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Dobbin Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 It's great that Pete Bedia and his friend Sarge got you fired up after the big FIRE. After helping other for years, Pete Bedia and his friend Sarge prove the old adage that what goes around comes around. We're happy for you! Now for the one in the garage, you shuld be motivated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
