Larry held a work party on Saturday, November 1st. There were a wide-range of projects in progress on this cool fall day. Nick Serna, recently retired from his barbershop business, had brought the transmission from his 1926 Tudor project to be cleaned, disassembled, and checked for wear. Vernon Armstrong was assisting Nick with this task. After taking the transmission apart and and cleaning the drums, he discovered that one of his drums was cracked. He located a replacement drum that day and will begin installing new bronze bushings next.
Dave Ferro continued working on the assembly of his 1918 Model T depot hack restoration project. Dave was installing a crankshaft seal and was also replacing the pedal shafts for his hogs head restoration. His engine/transmission is coming along nicely and will be a strong runner when finished.
Art Gebeau was focusing on attaching Kevlar bands for his 1926 speedster project. He too restoring his hogs head with modern oil seals and some of Larry’s high-quality homemade pedal shafts.
Kirk Peterson is missing some wood parts for his rear quarter panel windows and had brought some poplar wood to cut to size.
Mark Wing was also working on his hogs head by replacing pedal shafts and installing new cams and modern oil seals. His 1924 coupe is ready for reassembly!
Bruce Daniels was working on his wheel adaptors for his newly acquired 1926 roadster. The roadster came with wood wheels, but Bruce wants to change them to wire wheels from a Model A.
As always, Larry (with the patience of a saint) instructs us on the best approach to take for our projects and also teaches by demonstration. The Tin Lizzies owes a great deal of its success to Larry and Lorna’s generosity. Thank you very much!
