Friday Specials

Friday was relatively quiet in the car shop; Frank Kehoe and Tim were working on the 268, and Gregg was working on the 109 as usual.  I'll let Gregg toot his own horn.

I attached the replacement bottom rail on the 460 side door, and expoxied the gaps.


Frank had a production line set up for making new parts for the L car.


And I finished painting the next third rail beam.  It's nice and shiny.  Now all we need are some end plates.


Frank helped me turn the door over so I could install new screws for holding the metal plate in place.  You may notice that it needs some Bondo in the far corner.


And by the way, a summer beam has a unique feature: If you stand at the right angle, you can see right through it!


Later in the day, I had an opportunity to show some special visitors a couple of our cars, but I won't say anything more about that just yet.  Here at Hicks Car Works we want to keep you in....   SUSPENSE!
