Hello everyone. Here’s this weeks what did pt get into.
First off Happy Easter!
As always customer stuff first.
This was a busy week for customer work.
First I continued on the Jeep project that just didn’t seem to cooperate. If you remember from last update, I had some wiring to fix. It was soposed to be straight forward job. Just run two wires to the rear for brake/tail lights. Naturally it can’t be that easy. Once I got under the dash it ended up being a mess of shotty wiring and found 2 Burned wires so now I got more wiring to fix. Hopfully should be done this week.
The other major job I got done was installing the Model T engine I fixed a few weeks ago. It still needs to be finalized. Once the engine was back in. We ended up turning the car around and pulled the rear axle out. The rear axle hopfully just needs a cleaning and reassembly. Least that’s the plan. We shall see once I break into it.
For my stuff. I got good progress done as well
My Model A engine project is coming along very nicely.
I managed to get the crankshaft, pistons and rods installed. Now onto the valve train side of the engine. I also managed to get the engine covers cleaned and painted. Ready for install.
If things go according to plan…..my next report I should have a completed and installed engine! We shall see how it plays out.
One other project made huge gains this week too. You might remember from a few weeks ago that my girl Jenn got herself a custom Model A mailbox. We were working on a custom post for it. I’m happy to report that the mail box and post are completed! And ready for install! Should be installed in its new permanment home soon.
