Hello All!

Here’s this weeks addition of what the hell did Pat get into.

This has been good a good week.

Made some good progress on customer stuff and maybe huge gains on my own project.

First customer stuff. Jay Laprise made it to the list this week. Previously I stoped by and we discussed his brakes on his Model A. He wasn’t happy with how they preformed. So the week we got started on them. I stoped by and we took the backing plates off the car to work on. Jay come over on Saturday and took them apart, and stripped and cleaned them. Next is to reline the shoes, and start reassembly. They were in decent shoe to begin with so they should be good to go with some TLC.

The other job I got going on is the next Model T engine job I got. This one you might remember from previous weekly updates. It needs some transmission work. So with the help of my #1 helper Jenn, (sorry Pogy according to Jenn your #2) we got the flywheel magneto setup disassembled and cleaned. Just about ready for Jenn to do what she calls Voodoo. More on that during the next update.

My project time!

As you know I’ve been working on my 29 Roadster. With the help of Jenn, Pogy, Jay, and Tom, we got the body mounted back onto the chassis! Thank you all for helping me with that. Also Pogy, Tom dug into some steering columns to scavenge for parts.

This week I also got the transmission assembled. Next is the bell housing, then onto brakes and steering. Also today I got the running boards completed. I had my youngest apprentice helping with that job. See video attached.

Also don’t forget to please send me anything you’ve done! I’d be happy to include it here in my newsletters.

Till next time!
