Yikkes!

Work, work, work.

Winston has finally put a couple miles (2) under his own power and at speed. It was nice to hear him “sounding off” down the road. There was a problem with his head light switch which I guess wasn’t able to take sitting for that long. The lights worked at first but then quit and we weren’t able to get them working again. It was traced back to the switch and a new one is on its way. The second problem was with the brakes, traced to the master cylinder. While we were supposed to have gotten a lockeed master it appears that it is an aftermarket master cylinder. The brakes aren’t responding the way we would like them to so we are getting another cylinder and replacing it. Everything else is finished and it should be through inspection tomorrow.

Tillie needs a test run of more than 6 miles. That is when this noise she experiences happens…we shall see what unfolds…

Some more bodywork has gotten done on the 53TD. By the end of the month I’m hoping the body tub is back on freeing up much needed space as we have the TA body tub coming back shortly (we’ll do a TC and TD body tub but the TA was pretty far gone so we sent it out.) and we have a 1500 TF coming in for a restoration.

We are not waiting for the center panel for RacerTD, I painted up a temporary panel and I’m going to begin wiring it next week (hopefully!) We got in the amp and oil pressure/temp gauges. We have found everything for the center panel and are beginning to get the dash together. It shouldn’t be long before Racer is zooming again.

Nothing is happening with BlownTC he’s still on the back burner and awaiting the go ahead to get back to work.
Other than that we knocked out a stainless steel exhaust on a B. Doing a bit of electrical wiring on a Bug eye sprite. Shops busting at the seems…ahhhhh summers here…Later
