Schonye took the Deuce just after SCR8 to "clean" it up a bit and do some fix-its, but the more we got into it...the more it became apparent that the right thing to do was complete restoration. We conferred with the original owner, Moses Long, and he agreed it would be nice to bring it back to it's original new condition when he drove it off Dale Chev's lot 37 years ago. It got home last night...thanks Schonye!

Very nice looking cars and set up Steve!
Can we have some engine shots of both cars?
What a teaser...

Thanks.

I had the pleasure of visiting 'Deuce Heaven' just before the end of 2006 and seeing this car in the works. Unfortunately I didn't get back to see it in finished condition, although the Mayor and First Lady did invite me to do exactly that.

It's no secret that I lust for Deuces and probably will as long as I draw a breath so, needless to say, I was in Heaven standing in the Deuce Capitol of the Midwest.

The Wizards from Donahue put out another great piece. Congratulations to the Schoenthalers, and to the Sandlins. Another piece of history well preserved, and in Great Hands!

Very uplifting.
I'll bet Moses hated to "part" with it.

Thank you for the kind words, but especially thanks to SS for allowing us to work on the deuce. Also thanks to everyone who helped with parts, and information. The level of help found here is just great.
Moses was "on the job" from day one. He was an absolute wealth of knowledge, and a phone conversation was rarely shorter than an hour. I do regret that he was unable to see it before it left.
It left just as the temp took the big dive, and the ice, and snow came in. I breathed a big sigh of relief when Steve said it had gotten there.
Before I for get, "just bad Joe" shot the color. Guess it was a good thing his mom made me keep him instead of throwin him back.

Again, thanks to everyone, and like Marlin says,"another one saved, and back on the road.
