Sounds like a great project.

Take some photos and post them so everyone can see your progress and your new filter.

Your ’29 has 19″ wires?

My ’29 143 has 18″” wire wheels.

Maybe a few others can confirm that 18″” wire wheels were standard in ’29.

For those looking to order the PAS Service Bulletins on a flash drive, just make sure you make a backup copy of your drive when you get it.

Being in the IT field I have seen far too many flash, or ‘thumb’ drives, just quit working with zero hint of them going bad.

One time you put it in your USB port and it works fine, next time you do the same thing and you can’t read anything at all. Most times there is no rhyme or reason for why the device failed.

I even have backup copies of the 3 CDs I purchased back in 2006.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I may have to make a wheel stud version of James’ puller since I don’t care much for pulling on the studs the way my current puller does.

It was quite an endeavor when I pulled the rear drums a few years ago to change out the axle seals.

The drums sure pop with a bang when they let go and my axle shafts showed no signs of corrosion, either so it was just 70+ years of being stuck on there.

The puller I have is very much like this one but mine doesn’t have such nice patina.

Looks like an easier and safer way to pull the drums.

I almost wish my ’29 had the same style drums so I didn’t have to use the 3 legged dog-bone puller.

I bet there are quite a few members that would like to have one of those.

Hagerty’s rules state that comments posted about the story are what constitutes a ‘vote’ so a comment must be left to add to the tally.

Also note that the story is under the subgroup ‘Celebrations and Special Occasions’. You can filter the stories by groups and choosing the proper group will make it easier to find, especially as stories are added.

Good luck with the contest.

What a most generous gift for the museum and a great way to remember your father.

It is a splendid piece.

That’s as good a reason as any.

Lack of brakes is never fun, especially in a 5,000 lb classic car in mountainous terrain.

If we do create a table/spreadsheet with oil/lube information maybe we could also have a field to enter any pertinent service bulletin numbers that would pertain to whatever part the oil/lubricant is for.

This would not only give us the proper lubrication type but also how-to information as well.

I realize this is no small undertaking but it would be invaluable to all PA owners.

Has anyone ever put together a table of the various years/series of PAs and what is thought to be the recommended modern oil/lubricants for them?

Seems to me this would be pretty darn handy to have in FAQ form.

This is good info for those of us with ’29 cars.

Congratulations on the purchase of a very nice Pierce.

Although my Pierce has been in the family since the early 60’s my first meet was in ’06 in Minden.

I, too, was awestruck by the warm welcome and genuine welcoming attitude we received.

You’d be hard pressed to find a nicer and more giving group of people.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Pierce Arrow ownership.

The conveyor belt material sounds like a good idea for the body.

I’ve used commercial truck mudflap pieces cut to size in the past as isolators between the radiator and the frame. They worked great and are also fabric reinforced.

Very sorry to hear of the passing of a PAS member.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Kuhn family.

Add me to your distribution list.

I have two rear shocks that need new seals.

I’ve always heard the term ‘third member’ refer to the differential.

Great picture.

Did you nephew’s date choose that dress because the blue in the dress goes so well with the blue of the car?

And going to the prom in a Pierce guarantees them to have the classiest ride of the night.

Are you thinking of Restoration Supply Co.?

I’ve purchased stuff from them in the past, they’re in Escondido.

Thanks for the complete rundown, Ed.

I have a decent running, original UU-2 on the car now but was wanting to find another one with a good, solid body to transfer the parts from this over to.

That was the crux of my question about what all was different about the various models of carbs.

Guess I’ll have to keep an eye out for a ‘Pierce’ UU-2 since I know all of the old car bodies are on borrowed time.

So, even if the jets are wrong, couldn’t they be swapped out for larger jets or are the internal passages also under sized?
