Wow, that's two cars I've seen posted this week that were currently at Terry's. He's one of the best in the area, a sterling reputation.

Ground-up restoration at Lippincott's Garage (wonderful shop in Sinking Spring, PA) completed May 2013. A driver, not a show car. Modifications include: non-original dark red exterior, mostly original interior re-dyed black from dark blue, electronic ignition, covered headlights, 225 width tires, aluminum wheels on 5 lug hubs (formerly wires on splined hubs), 5-speed transmission, and triple Weber carbs.
The carbs are proving to be very problematic, likely switch back to original Strombergs.

Now a bit over 1 year out of the restoration shop. Roughly 3000 miles of driving so far. 5-speed trans has been a good modification, after break-in period of shifting mechanism. Much nicer on the interstates. Pertronix ignition has been trouble-free. Triple Weber 45 DCOE-9 carbs were a real nuisance due to bad info about float level. With that corrected, they work fine, EXCEPT starting circuit still needs work. Starting on a cold day is very difficult. Gas mileage on last highway trip was 20.9mpg. Antiquated ventilation system is biggest complaint. Retro-Air A/C system makes it livable on warm days.
