When I met Earl and Linda Roof for the first time at the tail end of 2009 at their home in Creekside, PA, they gave me their remaining oil-change-worth of the only oil good enough for their Deuce. I was flying back to AZ, so I left the 5 quarts of Wolf's Head at my sister's in Oakdale near the PGH Airport. I recently got them back to Dayton and then brought them back to AZ last week to reunite with the car. It's a little thing, but serves to highlight the Roof's passion for their Deuce. What a combo: Wolf's Head Racing Oil + Sunoco's high octane 260! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/burnout.gif[/img]

What vendor did you get the replacement Yenko stipes, etc. from?

Craig,

Can't remember off the top of my head. The mayor (Schonye) will have to chime in. I do know they were not cheap!

They were hand cut by a guy in MIN I believe. This was the last one he was going to do. He did very nice work, but they were very expensive.

So who else? Classic Industries and a few others offer them for over $300. I've even thought about trying to find someone in the San Antonio area that has a "real" Deuce and see if I could get a pattern and then paint the stripes on. Heat is hell on them -- when I redid my old Silver Deuce, I painted them on.

I can remember driving by Wolf's Head offices in Oil City in the 1980s and early 1990s. Seeing Oil City, PA today, it is hard to believe that this little PA town was once the home of Pennzoil, Quaker State, and Wolf's head.
