Thanks Schonye...

I had the pleasure of visiting 'Deuce Heaven' just before the end of 2006 and seeing this car in the works. Unfortunately I didn't get back to see it in finished condition, although the Mayor and First Lady did invite me to do exactly that.

It's no secret that I lust for Deuces and probably will as long as I draw a breath so, needless to say, I was in Heaven standing in the Deuce Capitol of the Midwest.

The Wizards from Donahue put out another great piece. Congratulations to the Schoenthalers, and to the Sandlins. Another piece of history well preserved, and in Great Hands!

Very uplifting.
I'll bet Moses hated to "part" with it.

[Schonyenko2]

Thank you for the kind words, but especially thanks to SS for allowing us to work on the deuce. Also thanks to everyone who helped with parts, and information. The level of help found here is just great.
Moses was "on the job" from day one. He was an absolute wealth of knowledge, and a phone conversation was rarely shorter than an hour. I do regret that he was unable to see it before it left.
It left just as the temp took the big dive, and the ice, and snow came in. I breathed a big sigh of relief when Steve said it had gotten there.
Before I for get, "just bad Joe" shot the color. Guess it was a good thing his mom made me keep him instead of throwin him back.
Again, thanks to everyone, and like Marlin says,"another one saved, and back on the road.

Deuce Looks super...and vaguely familiar...

66 looks like a sweeet ride too.

I too want to thank LV. Its not everyday we get the chance to work on something with this many original parts. It was neat to see this car sitting beside the yellow one before the resto and then after.

He forgot to mention the body work and the decal install. He tends to be easily distacted.

I was fortunate enough to see this FG Deuce the day before it was picked up at Schonye's. I delivered Alan Forman's lastest restoration project, a FG 70 L78 Nova to Schonye Jan 12 in a freezing rain storm.
Now I know what ABS brakes are really for. Real fun pulling a trailer on ice.

Great job on the Deuce Schonye.

[Schonyenko2]

Glad to see that you made it home ok. Bet things were nasty around St Louis.

[Musclecarkid]

Schonye, Everything was melted from southern Illinois down to St. Louis. Lots of ice in central Illinois. Like an Ice Forest down I-74. Had a nice time at your place. Looks like all that cold weather followed me home. Got home Friday Jan 19th. Had to wait for clear weather in St Louie.

Just want to say that the talent in the Schoenthaler family isn't confined to the men.

The First Lady of Donahue has a few tricks up her sleeve as well! We're now the proud owners of an original piece signed by Becky and will display it annually (that is, if I can keep my daughter away from it!)

A hearfelt Thank You to Becky and Ken for the thoughtfullness, but more importantly, for the friendship. There's some mighty fine people in that household.

[Schonyenko2]

Whew, glad to here that it got there in one piece. When you said that the last 3 things that showed up at your house from the USPS were in bad shape, the first lady about had a heart attack. Late merry Christmas.
