OK Jak, you’re on the list. I will get out further details on deposits and such, as mentioned this is a winter project so things will move slowly.

thanks David C.

Thanks for posting, I guess I thought it was another sign being offered.

I have one of those sitting about five feet behind me right now.

Thanks! David C.

Wow, never thought I’d see the day that engine came back to you from the great rebuilder we use, he’s just a little slow.

Run a ground from your battery to the frame, per the factory. Then, run another ground from battery directly to mounting bolt for starter. That will ground your engine and provide MUCH faster turnover of all those pretty new internals. You know all about using big cables and such…..

Congrats! A big step…..and, um, you could have called me, would have been a good excuse to come visit!

Jim I’d be interested in a sign…[email protected]

I like the diamond plate accelerator pedal….

There are 9 mats spoken for, the project is a go.

Yes, there will be the logo on the mat, I don’t have it in front of me but think it’s “Body Built By PIERCE Buffalo NY”. I have the original on my mat, it will be laser engraved on new mats.

As soon as I know deposit info will let everyone know. Fabricator is busy now and said it would be Winter before he could start making them.

Thanks David C.

At this point not planning on Gathering, life too complicated right now….

Yeah, love my Pierce and all the Pierce cars I’ve owned, but the view is sometimes disconcerting…butt still great cars….

In between the lines, Ed has touched on the fallacy of the ethanol addition to gasoline. Less efficient, so in the end poorer gas mileage, at the expense of the corn market and the subsequent land clearing, fertilizer plant pollution to support additional corn harvest, and so forth.

Luckily, we have local stations with 100% gasoline, including a Walmart service station. I run it on the old cars all the time…

Wish I had the money to build the black car, and it’s incredible to me how the Pierce fender lights work so well with the Cord body.

Thanks for these dreams. If someone really built one, wonder who’d fuss at them the most, Pierce guys or Cord guys?

I now have verification that the mat fits a 1930 Model B touring and a 1931 Model 41 touring.

Ed is checking on a couple of others and will be getting back to me.

This project looks like a go for this fall/winter, so will be getting more information out as I get details nailed down.

thanks David C.

Right now I have 6 people saying they want one.

Ed, I have the template done, will get it in the mail tomorrow….thanks dc

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

Just for information, I now have confirmation the mat will fit a 1930 Model B phaeton.

Thanks, Karl, you’re on the list!

Ok, Bob. Question for members, do closed cars get rubber floor mats in front? Never thought about it….

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

Ed, I’ll send you the template, that will be an interesting thing to see. The plan is to make it slightly larger around the perimeter, about 1 inch all the way around, in the smooth area to see if that fits the larger cars. I’ll get the template on the way to you Monday. thanks David C.

Whoops, should have checked my email before responding, now have 5 commitments! thanks dc

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

Yes, Ed, I have a master template full size, and will make a copy for you.

The firm I’m talking to now is the one in Canada that does running board mats. I don’t believe he does any molding of rubber. The mats are made of separate pieces, put together on a backing mat, and then coated with a thin material to make it one piece.

William, with you, I now have 4 “firm” commitments at that price point. I won’t need a deposit until early fall, I believe, as mentioned the fellow is telling me it’ll be this winter before he can start on it.

My hope was to make some extras, but we’ll see how it works out.

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

No, need to verify it will fit 29-30. Thanks dc

The eights have plenty of torque to allow you to go slow in high gear.

The old saying is you buy horsepower, but you drive torque…..

Glad to hear it’s not a mechanical issue!

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

Ok, thanks! I have others who expressed interest in the past, need to know if still interested at this price point.
