Saturday Report

 Work is continuing steadily on the 306, mostly during the week.  There was no one on this project on Saturday, but the blower remains connected to make sure the car doesn't deflate.

Tim just never stops working on the 1268.  Here he continues to strip the paint from the interior of the 1268.  The interior will look great when he's done -- maybe nearly as good as the 309!

Meanwhile, in astronomical news, nothing can eclipse this: the fender got installed on the Michigan Electric 28.  It goes quickly if you have enough hands; the crew included Norm, Greg, Nick, Jimmy, and Bill.    

And here Jimmy shows how you can hitch a free ride without buying a ticket.

I spent much of my time sorting and counting various car parts in storage, for some of the projects that are under consideration.

Finally, I checked on the Jewell Road shelter.  We've been getting a lot of rain and snow recently, and I wanted to check that the roof wasn't leaking into the building.  Some of the structure, especially in the northwest corner, is partly rotted out due to leaks in the past.   But everything appears to be dry, so at least it isn't getting worse.

I need to replace some of the joists and sister a couple of the studs, all of which are 2x4s.  That won't be difficult once I remove the interior paneling.  

I think this type of paneling can still be purchased; I just need to check the dimensions.  The amusing thing is that it is called "carsiding", although I wouldn't actually use it for that purpose.
