DMV2.JPGDMV1.JPGDMV3.JPGWell 34-40 started this thread for me and I have scattered the progress of my 1929 roadster over many threads so maybe the solution is to use this thread for further developments of the final steps of my build and of course no rod is ever finally finished! This thread already has the excellent pictures of historic speedsters and racing cars submitted by Jerry and others so maybe a 1929 roadster (replica) fits in this time frame as just after the end of the Model T Fords. The next step for me is to finally get a Virginia Replica title and they have already charged me for a 3% Tax on out-of-state purchases including many from Lincoln Nebraska (Speedway) and Maryland (Bratton's) so the final inspection is immanent with the attachment of a VIN plate on the firewall. To begin here are the three pictures I was required to submit for the title application. I will try to keep my eclectic comments on this thread in the future since some folks on this Forum think I have been an interloper on other threads. I liked the 34-40 thread because I like old Fords but I will try to use this thread in the future even though my name really has two "l"s in it.

Don, it is good to see you revive this thread! I actually went back and read it from the beginning. There are many great pics leading up to your project so it is a good "fit". I must apologize for the mis-spelling tho', I didn't realize until now. oops

That may be a replica but it's still a good looking ride! and we share another topic you might not have known about and that's the titling and tax run around by the state.

I started my project in 2000 and got my title last year in March, I beat a deadline and the new rules are wreaking havoc here in MA for guys like us.

But on to your interior, can you re-post those pics? and maybe explain that strip part... have you considered velcro? I want to do the interior of my truck and I'm thinking of attaching the material with velcro. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this too!
