A few more pictures taken today, Thursday.
The weather was perfect, not to hot and no rain today. The V radiator T looked really nice.
Today was the fourth day of Ham poor-boy sandwiches. The first I bought monday not knowing that three more would be given to me for my noon meals as part of the tour.

my 1912 driven by my son

John, It is some kind of a special body (not Ford)
I will try to get a picture of the rest of the car tomorrow if possible.

The little red speedster is from MI, don't know the owner, but it's real neat....took pics of it 2 years ago on the MTFCI ND tour.






Think it's basically a Rootleib kit, with custom metal cowl and lots of nice workmanship.

John D,
I did not know you had a '13 Metz. What is it like? I'll bet it is in a lot better condition than the '13 Mess I have.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

John,
That sounds neat! And you can claim it as all original stuff. My son wants to steal my Metz cowl for his speedster. Probably okay with me. He has a very old and was rusty back section of a speedster body nearly done for his car and would like an original cowl to go with it.
If you get your car put together, I would love to see pictures of it.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2
