Re: Deuce Deuce? Deuce Squared?
I am sad to report that Ron Wetzel, the person I bought the 5 Window from, passed away in early April. I feel honored that he felt I was worthy of taking on his car. It is on the road now and driven regularly. I am sad that Ron was no longer able to do that. I was hoping to visit him this spring and take him for a ride. He was a Vietnam Vet and a contributor to David Rehor's book. Real nice guy.

Re: Deuce Deuce? Deuce Squared?
Thought I would check in. First off, I am modeling the car after what someone could have done in the 30’s and 40’s. No V8 or permanent modifications. Still a model B drivetrain. The wheels are Clarks, I reversed the eye on the front. I came to me with hydraulic brakes. I bought a lowered model B headlight bar. At some point I am adding a Simmons powerhead and burns intake.

Re: Deuce Deuce? Deuce Squared?
The new look is OK I guess, but it looked really good in its original form, Put it back please. Regards, Kevin.

I am sure at some point, I will switch it back. (next years Eastern V8 meet?). There are many things on this car that need to be corrected before it was shown as a restoration. While I figure that out..and find stuff... it will look like this.

Re: Deuce Deuce? Deuce Squared?
Would appreciate a photo of the tool kit, probably nice to see lots of detail photos of it too.

Re: Deuce Deuce? Deuce Squared?
Here is the tool kit... I was wishing it was in the car when the battery died the other day. Need to keep a hand crank in the car.

Re: Deuce Deuce? Deuce Squared?
I'm really liking the slight rake, along with the wheels and "big 'n little" tires. What type of tires did you end-up with? Really nice little coupe! DD
