Hello all!
Here’s this weeks addition of what the hell did Pat get into!
Well I’m tired. And I’m also tired and ready for spring. Again this was a busy week. Despite loosing some time due to snow storms this week, I managed to get a bunch of stuff accomplished.
First customer work….as you might remember from my previous newsletters, I’ve been working on a Model T engine rebuild. I’m happy to say it is now finished and out of my garage! Ended up being a little rush job which I hate but it’s done. Customer picked it up Saturday.
My stuff!!
So as you should know I’ve been working on my 29 Roadster. I was hoping to get the body reinstalled onto the chassis today but that didn’t happen due to the snow storms this week. But I am officially ready and fully prepared to do so. I only had a few things to do to get her ready. I needed to lay out the frame welting, reinstall the door sill plates, and lay out the body blocks. So keep next Saturday in mind! As I’m prepped and ready and aiming for Saturday install. If anyone is interested you’re more than welcome to come on down. I’ll touch base later in the week to confirm that we are on for Saturday.
Today I had the day off from my regular job so I took full advantage of that fact. I started off showing a little love to my model a pickup(nicknamed Shreck). The past time or two I’ve had her out she was no happy. Hard getting her started. So I tinkered around with the timing and cleaned the points, swapped batteries and now she’s happy again. Oh and installed her new license plate!
Also….once spring gets closer, I need to do a full maintenance job on her. Oil change, grease, wheel bearings, etc. if the club is interested, we can make it a club event. I figure if we time it right can probably get maybe 3-4 cars checked and ready for the driving season. So let’s keep that in mind and can make a day work session.
I needed to get Shreck out of the way so I can do some maintenance on my Jeep. I pulled the Jeep in and got the oil changed, and tires rotated as well.
I’d call that a busy productive week. Till next time.
Patrick.
