Re: 28-29 vs. 30-31 roadster bucket/cab?
I'm 6 ft, 245 lbs and have owned both '29 and '31 roadsters. I only have a '31 roadster now. One of main reasons I kept it is because I fit a whole heck of a lot better! ;)

Re: Never Tried To Restore
A 7-tooth steering gear was the hardest assembly I have restored. Shocks, babbit, & rear-ends are to complicated for me. Plus, the lack of proper tools.
