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.

Thanks for the great pictures Willie. I really wish we were still there!....Chip
Willie do you have a shot of the red car w/v riad. What's the body?
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.
Willie, I did not see your coupe in any of the pictures, do you have a car in the tour?
Thanks for posting.
Willie it looks similar to my 13 METZ body? but windshield is not correct, need to see the rear for seat shape, fuel tank etc. thanks Buddy are you all coming to the HillBilly Tour in Springfield Mo if so we'll see you there. johnd
And from a transplanted southern boy Willie, they're "po boys" :-)
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
Interesting handbrake treatment. Beautiful car! Dave
Wayne I have the body, seat set-up, NOS top bows, correct windshield, no REAR section, I have an accessory T chassis w/full ellipitic springs up front and 3/4 springs on the rear, I;m going to build an accessory T out of all of it.Between the front springs is an upside down spring rivitited to the tops of the full front springs, front axle w/deep dip in it, the front spindles have washers on them that keeps rims from going in to deep and are drilled w/grease cups, it had a Chicago in it at one time and dumb me I sold the Chicago transmission, I have a early T hood former, late 11-12 brass riad, brass speedster lights, brass Adkock (sp) side lites, and taillite, 20 in Hayes front wheels w/demontable rims, one 30 x 3 1/2 5 lug spring wheel, and looking for another, It will be a fun toy I hope
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
