Back to the Grind

I’m back in NH and back to work. This week has been productive. We almost have the body for the 53TD ready for paint, if were lucky we could be spraying finish coat tomorrow.

The center dash came in for RacerTD the gauges, switches etc were removed from the temporary panel we were building to get the car on the road for the summer and put into the permanent one. If you remember RacerTD had no original dash, there was a brushed aluminum dash with toggle switches and odd gauges. The dash should be back in the car next week and the wiring should be finished too. YAHOO!!!

Tillie is gone back home for the summer season and the TF that was in for locking up brakes got a new master cylinder and is ready to go back home.

And we have a new guest a TF 1500 in from Ohio for yeah you guessed it a total restoration. I’m hoping to hold off on that one for a while until we get a little room to move around. The body should be on 53TD by the middle of next week and hopefully RacerTD will be ready for some summer driving by the end of next week. That would give us 2 bays open to use one to dismantle the “1500.” It does take some time to begin to get parts back from the stripper etc. so there is some lag time before you can actually begin to assemble a restoration. And as you all know you never know what you may get into with one of these cars.

Anyway here are a few pics.

Later….
