Roof Deuce Restoration
 

I really like seeing folks' in-process photos of the restoration of their cars so I thought I'd return the favor.

Most of you probably remember this car being talked about a few years ago on this site. Steve Sandlin bought the car from the Roofs and about a year ago I caught Steve in a weak moment and now I own it. The car is being restored in Donahue, Iowa by the mayor and his crew. The car is going back together now and is a few months from completion.

Earl and Linda Roof were the original owners of this Deuce and bought it in Canonsburg on September 19th 1970.
