This blog will expand on themes and topics first mentioned in my book, "The Automobile and American Life." I hope to comment on recent developments in the automobile industry, reviews of my readings on the history of the automobile, drafts of my new work, contributions from friends, descriptions of the museums and car shows I attend and anything else relevant.

Porsche 911 Targa Top Restoration IV -- Burlap Glued!
Hi folks -- Targa top restoration update. And you thought I had given up! Burlap now glued firmly to the top frame. Burlap purchased at Hancock Fabrics. Very careful cutting and trimming done to get this to look just right. This step takes plenty of time. Glue on the top was set with spray 3M trim glue. Glue on sides was the contact cement used previously. Once rolled to put pressure on the bond edges clipped and drying took place overnight. Now on to glue padding on both sides of the top, prior to gluing final black skin.
