    Thanks Tony! I spend a lot of free time reading about and looking at pics from the 40s. That style really appeals to me.

    I certainly wouldn’t be this far along without you guys helping me out.

    Hi Don, yes heading up there tomorrow with my girl. I’m really looking forward to the experience and inspiration. I’m thinking I may try to be more than a spectator next year.
    I’m also planning to hit Hershey a couple of days next week. I’m working on my list. :)
     
  7. .....Excellent! Sometimes it's best to kinda feel out the vibe of an event like TROG before diving headlong into it as a participant. I may go to Hershey next week as well (likely Thursday if at all). Hope you find some cool stuff. The place is incredible and HUGE. Wear comfortable shoes and stay hydrated.............Don.

    Came late, but stayed all the way through. Couldn't get a word in edgewise, the guys and you were going so fast!
    Coupe is amazing, and now a roadster!
    Great looking 'tribe' there, too! Congrats.

    Thanks Atwater Mike! I do have a great tribe - ‘Tribe Roho’. You may be catching up with my build thread, but I am the one who is late to this game. I started less than a year ago; however, I think I’ve found a life long hobby. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and recommendations along the way. TM

    I really enjoyed the weekend. I met a lot of great people and learned a lot. I felt like I walked into the ultimate research center. I probably took well over a hundred pics of cars from just about every angle. Here are a few of my favorites.

    I have to say this one really got my attention. I think it was a 34. Flathead v8 with overhead valves, quick change rear, and a supercharger, what?!!!

    Here’s my Hershey Haul. Not much, but some fun stuff. 069E0AD0-2CF4-4DED-9020-0DC5CD245F87.jpeg AA4011EE-70FF-4346-A996-986178BDA1C0.jpeg

    I also now own two of the elusive (15 million) Model T rear main leaf springs. $5 each. One is a reverse eye!

    With the help of my Hot Rod friends, I ended up finding a perfect roadster top. The right year (31), the right model (deluxe), and the right condition (old).

    I’ve been collecting the fasteners needed to install the roadster top. I bought the windshield snaps from Bratton’s and installed them no problem. I actually had some of the fasteners for the tack rail on the car. They were screwed into the doors and cowl. I think they must have been used for the side curtains. They are now being used on the tack rail.
    However, I’m still looking for the two longer fasteners for the tack rail. These are used where the top sides and back overlap and use the same fasteners. I can’t seem to find these anywhere. Any ideas? 6892C79A-44FC-4A2A-A60F-0A2828303089.jpeg EE3C79A8-35EC-45C7-ADE2-2BA713ADE6D3.jpeg
