Maybe a few to show the highlights, we do have limits on the server for the message board. You may want to consider putting a story together on your restoration for the Quarterly with pictures.

Jim, my '47 PU will be out of body and paint in a week or so. I have many pictures of this body-off restoration. Would that be of any interest to the members? Most everything is show quality, except I took liberties with it, like dual exhausts, Braje twin intake and exhaust, side covers, fog lights, oak slat bed liner, extra chrome, etc. My shop is known for world class Porsche 356 restorations, with numerous concours wins.  I am an "Old Geezer".

Hello everyone,  

With another great national meet behind us, I was reminded about a few things that might be helpful to others.  This one applies to restoration and rustoration. Since I have had it, my SS has been missing the front passenger fenderwell battery service shield. I finally got around to fabricating one but was challenged with reproducing the undercoating to match the rest of the fenderwell. After a few trials, I found the 3M body schutz with a with a good ole splat gun was the match I was looking for. If your undercoating is lighter or faded, blend your patch with spray paint.  

Thanks.

As I am putting together my Crosley Garage column for the Summer Quarterly, I am getting low on Restoration Tips again, I may have enough for Fall Column. So if you have additional Tips just reply to this message and it will be added to the sticky thread at the top of the Crosley-Gang Page for easy reference.

For those that are not members of the Brick & Mortar club I have had a column in the Crosley Auto Club Quarterly magazine for many years that is made up from questions and answers from Crosley-Gang that I think would be useful to members that don't do computers or want their info in hard print. I don't use names, just initials or first names, so don't be bashful. Gabriel suggested the idea of restoration tips for the beginner and I have added them as part of my column. The tips so far have been good for old timers as well as beginners and I thank all that have contributed so far. 

More Tips Please.

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have any VC doors for sale? Mine have been pretty much destroyed by previous owner. Can reskin but need good framework.
Also could use a right front fender.  Let me know what you have! Thanks: Dennis

1941 Crosley Convertible barn find.  No title.  Located in Northern Virginia.  Looks like most of the major parts are there. $900.

Here is a link to the 2021 Meet page, the Early Bird photo link is now active. If you saved the last link I sent out it changed a little, so use this one. I got rid of some spaces. http://crosleyautoclub.com/21Nationals/2021_CAC_Meet.html

It will take me awhile to get the National Meet Web pages laid out with over 1000 photos from 3 sources to sort and pick the best to tell the story of a Great Meet. But I have started.

Here is a link to a meet summary. http://crosleyautoclub.com/#Meet
Here is a link to the 2021 Meet page which will have many photos linked to it over the next few days to a week but in the mean time there is a slide show of the winners ready for your enjoyment. Missing the Winner Circle and the indoor classes for now. http://crosleyautoclub.com/21Nationals/2021%20CAC%20Meet.html

As always send me a note with errors to correct.

Parts have sold and have been picked up. I guess it was on the way home for someone.
