Quote from: Touring29 on August 16, 2024, 11:27:05 PMGreat video and your coupe is really nice! It takes a lot of dedication to keep one of those brass era cars shined up and a unbelievable amount to get them in the condition those are in!

For sure, parts are few and far between. Currently working on a rare early gas tractor. Know the pain of having to make and modify parts to get it running.

Quote from: Articifer Tom on August 13, 2024, 09:11:49 AMGreat Video Dave . Still learning about those brass era cars . My cousin found a 1912 Metz from flipper who could justify investment . Although a rough barn find we have it running and he drives grand-kids around farm with it .

Awesome! I took the roadster to a show last weekend and give rides to folks who have an interest when I can. Get some smiles from the youngsters in the rumble seat.

Quote from: Russ T. Fender on August 12, 2024, 01:30:08 PMGreat video!  Always wanted to do the London to Brighton run in The U.K. but too expensive for a retired guy on a pension and the logistics are overwhelming.  Maybe some day I can make the domestic run.  Your '29 roadster is a beauty. I'd love to see more of it! Thanks for sharing!

If you make it up, send me a message. I am planning on doing a video on my 2 Plymouth s, just haven't had time. I do a lot of tractor shows and they are in full swing right now.

Figured a few you might appreciate this video. Once a year they do this antique car rally here in MN. It's called the New London to New Brighton car rally. It's 120+ mile back roads cruise between the 2 cities. Rules are any car up to 1908 and any 1 or 2 cylinder up to 1915. I cruised the Plymouth up to check it out and a shot a little video.

Nice find, for 10 bucks could throw one in every couple years 🤣

John I have some pictures, but it's easier to just email them to you rather than get them off the phone, shrink them, convert etc.
One is pretty tough, the other has a hole cut into it and one still on the rearend has been on there a very long time.

I may still have your email (from handles) Fain?
#8
I'll see what I have and take a few a pics. I have 2 rearends and each have 1 drum on them, but they are rusty.

Also have a loose one or 2, (from Franks parts) and one has a hole. Good to know it could be there on purpose :)
#9
Is there a difference between the 19" wheel drum vs the 20"?

I may have something, but have to check the condition.

Guess he tried him without luck (?)
Found a thread on the AACA and it sounded like he was having someone cast new ones? Think his user name is pre1939chrysler ?

Quote from: Russ T. Fender on April 02, 2024, 09:38:45 AMRoadster looks great!  You can't beat an open car!
I am still looking for the side mount hold down hardware for my 30-U if you come across any of it.

Thanks Russ T. Didn't see much for that kind of hardware, but I think the parts motor he had sitting in the garage (which I'm now tripping over) was a 30. Not in great shape, think I'll part it out and toss the bad.

Quote from: chetbrz on April 01, 2024, 09:31:21 PMHay 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

I get it, its a long haul from the coast. I never made it to a national show and since its finally landing here, I better go!

I hope you get your issues resolved, best of luck.

thanks

Quote from: Touring29 on April 01, 2024, 07:12:31 PMGreat 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. 
Don't have much of any body stuff and both my wipers assemblies are shot. Probably have to buy some generic kit or find a ford or chev cross over.

Member DFeeney (Don) on the AACA is the only guy I know who has one. I'm sure you have run across him over there. If anybody knows were they are hiding he does. And there isn't many!
