1920's Durant Wood 12 Spoke Wheel

Just happened to notice that several questions have been asked in the Restoration Recommendations area with no response. I know that I don't normally look in that area, so thought I would remind everyone to check out the questions and help if you can.
I first met Bert in Flint, MI at the 2000 Durant meet. Twenty-three years later we were again together at the 25th Durant meet in Folsom CA.
We will all miss Bert, he was never shy and never voiced a cutting remark.

I started to get my 25 Star ready for the local 4th of July parade and the fan bracket broke and the Bendix fell apart. Thanks to the "junk" my girlfriend want me to throw away, I got them both repaired.

I've just purchased a '27 Star M coupe. One of the things that will need addressed is the vinal top. I think it has been replaced sometime in the past and is a somewhat amateurish installation.
Therefore, if anyone has a Star M or R coupe with an original top, would...
