I am preparing our 1940 convertible for the Concord, NC show, and noticed several hairline cracks in the rubber cover on the right side running board. Any suggestions on where I can buy the best running board would be appreciated. I priced them from Mac's, Drake, and Dennis Carpenter as follows: Mac's $1400/pair Drake $995/pair Carpenter $695/pair

I bought mine up here in Stony Plain, Alberta, from Moir, they were from Drake and I am happy with them. Having said that I cannot offer info on the others. They seem very well made.

How about "none of the above". I'd suggest having them vulcanized by Hundley Acuff. About $900 and superior to the repop boards.

I also like Mr Aucff's covers. They still look great after 10 years of use on my 40 Mercury. Tom

Thanks. I was not aware of Hunley Acuff but will certainly use him.

I had my done in 1996 by Hunley Acuff and still look brand new. No doubt the best way to go. Tom.

David, Mr. Acuff will strip the rubber off your "old" boards and sand blast them. I don;t believe he will do "body work". I send the boards to him "straight". Mike "Kube" Kubarth

Small imperfections will be filled in with his process, so the boards do not need to be perfect, just in good shape. He does have an extra charge to lean the rubber off and another charge to sandblast them. I suggest that you give him a call and discuss your needs with him. He is very helpful and a great guy to do business with. Tom
