Sorry to hear about the issues you are facing with your new purchase.

The members of this board will not hesitate to assist you with knowledge, advice, parts or leads on parts and any other stuff Pierce related.

Good luck getting your car straightened out so you can enjoy your Pierce as they were meant to be – out on the road.

Although the purchase process was far less than ideal you’ll find that Pierce ownership along with being a member of the PAS family is quite rewarding.

You’re right Jak, it is tough to resist the restoration urge at times.

There were many times my father hinted at having our original Pierce painted but I talked him out of it every time.

We also had some help talking him out of it when we were in Oregon in 2006.

A car can be restored a thousand times but it is only original once.

Great news.

As Bob mentioned, make sure to take lots of video and post it so we can all share in your start up experience.

Thanks for the pictures.

That rear end assembly and spring packs are massive.

Good luck dealing with the valve seat cracks.

Enjoy your tour.

We had a great time driving through the Cascades during the 2006 PAS meet in Redmond OR.

Some beautiful scenery matched only by the beauty of the cars.

I’d love to see more pictures.

Post pictures as you go through the restoration process so we can all enjoy watching your project come together.

It’s not too often we get to see details about a Pierce truck.

Wow.

It would have been great to see a Duesenberg out in the wild and not in a museum or car collection.

Hopefully you took plenty of pictures of all the cars.

I believe Tim Schilde is Milton Schilde’s son.

Milton’s info is in the roster.

I know.

Over the years I have picked up many spare carb bodies or complete OX-2 carbs for my Rickenbacker as cheaply as $20.

I was just lamenting the pricing disparity.

Crying in my beer so to speak.

That said, anyone that has a vehicle that uses a brass bodied carb should pick up spares while they can. With the rising cost of scrap brass I’m afraid some will be scrapped rather than hauled around to swap meets and sold.

That is a beautiful car.

I hope to get the chance to see it in person one day.

Such a same that an earlier carb for $66 is a shelf item while you’d have to get into the 4 digit range for the same thing for a ’29 on up.

Thanks Peter.

I appreciate it.

Peter, is there a conversion chart out there for the ’29 to ’38 cars as well?

I have purchased many, many parts from RockAuto over the years.

I can vouch for them that they are a great site to do business with.

Gorgeous cars.

Hope they go to someone that will join the PAS.

It’s not often cars like this come up for sale.

Good to hear that you want to see these cars on the road and you’re going to facilitate the new owner(s) getting them there. It would be a shame to see the cars taken apart instead of being out on the road where they belong.

Good luck with sale.

David, I sent you an email regarding your last post.

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

I say body color.

But things may have changed from ’29 to ’33.

My very original ’29 is body color under the hood.

As far as I know the car has never been painted and it’s been in the family since the early 60’s.
