It took me 16 years to complete it. A good part of the restoration was to un-modify the the incorrect modifications that were done to the car during it's life. And re manafacture the worn and or broken transmission and differential gears. Also a New Body was made using the original as the pattern, which I still have. My father owned this car for a little over a year before he passed leaving the car to me. He had already started the restoration proess when he had a new radiator manufactured as well as the rear end differential gears re created The restoration was started by me in 1989 and completed in 2005. I took it to my 1irst AACA showing in 2006 at Ashville NC where I got a 1st Jr. It was photographed there at the time and was the feature car used in the AACA calender for March 2007. In August of 2006, I got my Senior at the Rockford Ill. meet. In July of 2007, the car got its 1st Senior at the Grand National in Kalamazoo Mich. It was recently shown at a AACA meet in Mason City Iowa where I received a preservation award. I am presently using stove gas in the engine (Colemen latern fuel), similar to what was used in these early engines before the use of gasoline.
