Roof Deuce Restoration

[Roof]

Mark, Luigi's is still in business and going strong, even selling their own sauce at Tate's supermarket in Clymer.
Joe, No pics with the stripes on. Earl shot a whole roll of film the day before we took them off. When we notified the developing lab that the pics had never arrived, they claimed they had gotten "lost". We've always been very disappointed about that.
Schonye, did you get a package yet? Went out on Tuesday.
Sam, so what will this car be known as now? Sam's Deuce(isn't there another Sam with a Deuce)? Griffith's Deuce? Sam Griffith's Deuce? I'm still trying to figure out what our new user name should be.
Earl says we ran the original wheels for about 3-4 years before putting on the Ansens.
Earl and I were talking about the tach the other day. He said that for some reason every time he turned on the headlights on the car the tach would drop about 200-400 rpms so he disconnected the light in the tach.
That Schoenthaler family sure is a good team!!!

Nothing yet Linda. So what do you think is a good price to split?
Funny how the original owner/car name seems to kinda stay with the car. With us, there'll always be a Moses deuce, a "Ten seconds to Heaven" (Wild Bill Edel) deuce, and at least with us, always a Roof deuce. When you've owned them as long as you have from day one, there's part of your soul in that car that never leaves.
To bad about the pics. Deuce stripes are like fingerprints. No two sets are exactly alike. It would have been cool to see how your had been put on.
And thanks for the compliment, but most of the time it's more like Orange county chopper around here. Thank Heaven I'm the sane one.

Hey sane one I priced the Caddy, don't think Sam will be willing to go that high, especially since we'll both be getting a cut. I'm thinking of buying another horse when I retire, maybe I should start checking prices on those!!
For some reason Earl and I didn't take a lot of pics when we were first married. Have sometimes wondered why that was since he had a really good camera and dabbled in photography and developing his own pictures when he was stationed in Germany.
I agree that part of your soul stays with the car. Every time I see another piece completed it brings back an old memory!!

Hey Linda - thanks for the info on the Ansens. Joe S. did a great job on your original SS wheels, don't you think? Not sure they looked that nice when you 1st saw the car on the Yenko lot! I will forever call this Deuce the "Roof Deuce" you can be sure of that - just like Schonye said. What was the name of the Italian restaurant in the basement on Philadelphia St. I tried to google it but did not recognize any of the names that came up. Ate there many a time over the years. There were plastic grapes and vines hanging from the ceiling.

Ah, it just came to me................Bruno's! yum!

P.S. now don't go changing your user name . We know where you're coming from.
