Hello Everyone,
Hope everyone had a good week….mine was decent. Never seems like I get a lot done, but while writing these little write ups it really shows how much I actually get done.
First my stuff…as you know I’ve been working on my 29 Roadster project. This week was mainly parts clean up and some painting. I ended up getting all the front and rear axle parts cleaned, and mostly painted. The housings and big parts should be back from sand blasting later this week I also got the frame cleaned and half painted. Jenn and I flipped it over yesterday and I will get it painted later this week. More to come on this project later.
Most of you know my girlfriend Jenn….she came down with me over New Years and she played with her “socks”. Jenns term for Shocks. Her shocks we picked up last year in Hershey. They were In good shape just needed a good cleaning, reseal, and paint. See video attached.
Of course I had to do some of that pesky customer work. This week I continued on the T engine I’ve been working on. Last week I worked on the flywheel/mag ring setup. More to come on that soon. However I moved on to the last bit of parts fitting to do. I got the Connecting rods fit to the crankshaft, and the camshaft bearings fit and fit to the block. So now it’s basically ready for final cleaning and onto assembly. I’ll start on that later this week.
I got another Model T engine I will pick up later this week too. Not much in the Model A work department however a lot of this basic procedure I follow is the same for Model A as well.
