Hello All!

So hopefully you’ve all been enjoying my little weekly blog entry’s. Here’s this weeks!

So with the holidays coming up this week, it was a slow week. However in my usual fashion, I got stuff done.
The week started off mainly organizing and going thru parts for the Model T engine I picked up last week. I also ordered all the parts needed for the job.
I got started on it too.

The flywheel/magneto setup was first. I got it all cleaned up, and today Jenn who most of you know already (my girlfriend) came with me and did what she calls Voodoo.
Which is acually just recharging the magnets. (See attached video). With those recharged and now assembled to the flywheel by Jenn next step is to level them and level the mag ring to the block. That’s is later this weeks job/next weeks.

I spent this weekend working on my project. I finish sanded and buffed out the main body of my roadster. Still needs a little finish buffing and touch up but it’s coming out decent.

I swapped the location in the garage of the body and the chassis yesterday and got to work completely striping it down to bare bone chassis.

Next up is going to be to clean the frame, and tear apart the front and rear axles then I’ll decide what to send off to the sand blasters and what I’ll hand clean.

In other news, Jenn and I decided to give one Xmas present early each. Cause both require garage time.

So for the 1915 Model T roadster Jenn found me an original accessory speedometer. It’s in good shape just needs some repair work and I’ll need to find the rest of the parts. Cable, brackets etc.

For Jenn I got her a pair of original Macbeth Evens headlight lenses. Also known as eye brow lenses. Or as Jenn calls them winky lights. They are neat and will certainly add character. They will need a little fitting nothing crazy. (See picture attached)
