On the Road

On Wednesday I had the job of driving the IRM van, which was filled to capacity with seat cushions and backs, in to Bellwood again to drop them off at Kustom Seating.  

Here we are behind the factory in Bellwood.

This time, we're not only finishing off the last of the CA&E seats, but we're also going to have them repair several seats from the North Western bilevels.

Now we just have to wait until a good number of them are repaired.

Meanwhile, of course, a lot has been happening back in the car shop.

This, for instance, is the end frame of the 1268, which now looks much more complete than it did a few days ago.  Tim just never stops.

One relatively new project that we haven't covered before is that Fritz and Bill and some of  the others are doing heavy-duty structural repairs to the Michigan Electric 28, starting at the front.  This car suffered severely during its years as a cottage, so there's a lot to be done.

It's great to see progress being made on this historic car.
