That looks real sweet, Scott. You are so lucky to have Dale, and the rest of the WA State Green Team, there to help and advise. I bet that you have the sweetest and freshest green beast at the PNW Rally. I can't make it this year, but I will try next year. Stan.

I thought that we already established that one! Let me know when you are in town. I think that I just might be able to find a cold pint for you, at my Legion. Maybe even a short run in the M-135!
If you want to see the club, Legion 118 Home Page
Sorry to hijack your thread, Scott.

A Cut-off wheel is probably a better choice Scott, but if your into self punishment I can lend you a hand file.
Also what are using for a gasket under the hard top?-Dale

so i put seal around the hood and put some spray on sound deadner on the actual underside of the hood...holy cow the difference is INSANE! no rattles nothing. my gf asked if i put the muffler on and my uncle notices it instantly aswell. no hardtop on yet but i was able to talk to the gf sitting right next to me while at idle. couldnt talk while driving cause no windshield and couldnt talk hehe
also got to me a ww2 vet who trades cookies with my grandparents. he was a soldier who came up through africa. i asked him if he would like to join me in the parade and he said if hes there he will. this is after he joked around about getting in the back. he told me a story about helping a german family with the first deuces made back then. he loves these things.

I really did not have time to read all of this thread again. Did anyone ask you where you were able to have the hardtop made. I think I saw that it was fiberglass and probably one off. Any more info would be great. I really like the design and would like to reproduce or purchase one. I will need a top for next years project. Thanks in advance!

While visiting Tampa, I met up with some Florida Steel Soldiers:http://www.steelsoldiers.com/upcoming-events/53590-abn173-coming-tampa-bay.html
We linked up at Jimbo's BBQ, while there an old timer fell and could not get up. My PSG and myself went over to help the guy, turns out he is a WWII Pilot. We were in uniform and somebody saw us so when it was time to check-out our ticket was paid for. I thought it was one of the FL clan so when I thanked them for dinner they were like yeah we tried to pay for it but were told it was "taken care of"

all the info i have on this top is that it was made by a company in the 80's who bout deuces and made them farmer friendly by changing the engine and front end. then they made these tops. my top after putting it on today is going to need a little repair as i found some cracks
thats awesome dale!

Thanks for the info. I guess I will have to make my own. Did anyone take a look at the M35 gas gun truck out your way. The one on Fleabay. I would be interested if it wasn't 1500 miles away. Any way keep up the great work!

Awe, no worries on the runs. I've got runs on the original CARC finish from Tooele Depot rebuild deuce. Makes it more authentic
