great....just what i'd hoped to hear. thanks! Marquis

These recent bouts of 'weather' in southern california are keeping my '47 off the road. I need to seal up my hood & i noticed that the fabric type lacing is gone from the driver's side. Roberts has replacement lacing pretty cheap. Is that the way to go or is there a better solution? They have the cowl rubber that I need too. Has anyone tried theirs before? I'm assuming a little 3M will stick in on well enough. also... it seams that the rain pisses off my engine. After a rainy day I cant get her to start. I figure I should get it sealed up & see what happens then. any ideas? Marquis

great! thanks for that!

My wife & I are planning on painting signs for our shop on both sides of our '47 P15. The suicide doors leave us plenty of room but I'd love to see more examples of period door art. any favorites out there? thanks folks! Marquis

I just heard that you guys were under Rob's hood that night also, too funny! p.s. we may be gathering some cars for Nicole's fashion show on May 2nd....we'll keep you in the loop M

Thanks for the tips! Great forum you've got here. I'll dig in the archives & see what else I can come up with. I look forward to working on the speedo, sounds like something I can tackle easy enough.... thanks everyone! Marquis

That's the one....Josh is an old friend of mine,

Just picked up this car from a friend. I love it! It's my first classic & it's created a great itch. It runs good but sometimes the starter Bendix doesn't engage properly & i hafta get underneath and push the flywheel a tad...sound familiar to anyone? also my speedo guage flaps around between 0 & max, never close to an actual reading..... and the gas guage isn't reading....that easy to fix? Eventually I'll bring this back to it's Marine Blue color but until then my wife & I are going to have our business logo painted across the suicides on both sides in a period fitting style, Hobo's Vintage!
