Hay Dave, I'm glad you got Franks car I'm sure he is looking down with a big smile. 

I thought about Minnesota but think it might be a bit to far even with the car trailer. Anyway dealing with some critical issues at home that are monopolizing my spare time. 

Congratulations, Chet

Great pictures Dave. It's good to have you coming around again. Videos would be good too. I am still looking for some hood latches (both pieces) for our 29 Touring and I still haven't figured out anything on wipers but I haven't tried very hard.

Thanks for the pictures of the adaptor and your BB-1 Tom I don't guess I know what LAS stands for.

I checked the float carefully today and as far as I can tell its fine. It doesn't sound like there is anything in it when I shake it and there is no places on it that look compromised. I even weighed it then held it under water for several hours and weighed it again with no change and no bubbles. It weighs 0.80 of a ounce. Here is a picture of my emergency install of the BB-1 of unknown heritage. From what I have read its a later version with the pot metal bottom so I doubt it came off a 4 cyl. I'm making what is probably a futile attempt to fix the broken piece. It's also missing one of the screws that holds the two parts together.
I may call the Carburetor Shop people in Missouri and see if they have any ideas on the RT-08 but if I can fix the BB-1 it may be the one we run and the RT-8 may get put on the shelf (but I still want it to work)

Hey fellas,

Been a busy last few years, did more car stuff last summer than usual. Member Frank P passed away last year and I helped his kids sort through his Plymouth stuff. I ended buying his roadster. We cruised it to the local shows around me quite a bit last summer. Below are a few shots from one of the threshing shows I bring stuff to and Frank use to meet me at. Couldn't pass up some sunset shots in front of a period correct gas pump! Also brought out the old original sedan and its a horse a piece for what gets more attention. Have to keep people (and kids) interested in this old stuff to keep it alive!

I plan on doing some videos on the cars this summer and will post them here when they are complete.

I do have some random parts from Franks collection I have to go through yet, so if anyone is looking for something odd I may have it. (that guy kept everything)

The national meet is in Minnesota this year and I plan to go for the first time. So if anyone is planning on making the trip let me know!

I run an air filter on my BB-1.  It's the correct filter but I use an adaptor that allows it to fit on the larger diameter of the BB-1 carburetor inlet. I found the adaptor at Hershey years ago.  I am trying to attach a picture but it's too big and I have no idea how I can downsize size it.
