Tomorrow is the BIG day at Sprig! It’s time to grab your tickets. I’ve been baking a lot of pies and sourdough loaves for the big donors. Proceeds go to the Georgia Chapter of Concerns Of Police Officers (COPS). This charity assists the families of law enforcement officers who die in the line of duty. Last year we raised $6000! As of today we have raised $4900. I feel comfortable that we will eclipse 2023. If you are in person at Sprig you might win a door prize or two! Drawings start at 5:00 for door prizes.

Out with the old and in with the new. On another front the fuzzy door seals made with metal are more like the originals BUT after taking an hour to install one door last night I’ll be going plastic in the future!

Day 6 Dora Carpet and Seats: The wood surrounding the shifter needs to be replaced with one from a manual car. Today I removed the burl veneer. In three places the next layer came off. Billy Ray suggested using JB Weld instead of wood filler to even the surface. It’s applied and drying. Sanding soon!

Day 5 Dora Seat and Carpet. I’m converting the shifting wood piece to a manual one. The rectangular hole is from the original auto box. Thanks Theo for sending this piece from The Netherlands. Frank Po**ck told me about a wood shop five miles away. I picked up a 1’ x 8’ roll of cherry veneer. I’ll stain and use this on the piece from Theo. Later I can do the rest of the dash.

Christmas brings sad news. The Roadster Factory building burned to the ground this morning. I spent many summers racing the roads of western Pennsylvania and making new friends at their annual Summer Party. The stories and memories make me smile as those were special times.

More than a dozen fire companies from two counties were called out around 1 a.m. Sunday for what officials are describing as a total-loss commercial structure fire on the 300

In Search of Triumph Pony Express

I have a rear Spitfire Valance in Pittsboro, North Carolina that needs to get to Westminster, South Carolina or Atlanta, Georgia. This is for the 64 I’m restoring with my daughters. If you can make it partially that’s appreciated too. I don’t want to have to do 10 hours one day there and back. Will pay in money, Bourbon, Sourdough, or Bourbon Pecan Pies!!
