    What did you do to your deuce this week?

    Clean and prep new (to me) hard top. It was graciously given to me by a friend and SS member. I picked it up along with a bunch of other parts when I drove to Austin last weekend. So far so good. All I've found is two small rust holes the size of a pencil eraser and some surface rust. The back...

    Radiator repairs.

    Thanks fellas, Taking this thing out and having it re-cored and having someone give it a once over sounds like the right answer. Does any one have a good idea as to what I should expect to pay for this service.

    Wow, He has a nice site and what looks like lots of goodies. I talked to him a few months back when I first got my Deuce. He didn't seem to receptive or willing to help. Nor did I get the feeling that he was to willing to sell any of his parts. Oh well. I see that you live in the DFW area. I...
