Re: Translucent banjo steering wheel
I have used Quality Restorations out of San Diego for several steering wheels. The work Dennis Crooks does is phenomenal. He's not cheap, but once I received them I realized it was worth every penny. He recasts the steering wheel using your original wire frame. In my case, two 1947-48 Ford steering ...

Re: Blond deck stain

Unless you know the NAPA Echlin part numbers specifically it's a real struggle getting a car parts store to help, which I learned early on. Easier to talk to someone who knows what your looking for and may even have NOS

Re: Engine bogs down past 2,100 RPMS

Re: Replacement Fuel Tank
Does an Occasional Tank of Premium Help Keep a Car's Motor Clean? As strange as this question sounds, this is a common and long-standing practice among many motorists who consider an occasional tank of premium a special treatment that will help their engines last longer. The basis for this assumptio...

I noticed that this topic received no responses and I am in the same boat! I have new to me 1952 23' Holiday with a large Iva-Lite installed on the deck. However, the hull card indicates that the original light was a KM-32. Having contacted Iva-Lite they told me this is not an Iva-Light designation....

Anyone Misplaced Their Rudder?
Rudder Pic 1.JPG Found this in the bottom of a 1953 18' Riviera I am restoring. The original rudder log was intact in the boat and the original rudder was lying inside the boat - although quite bent.
