This is week 13 on the project ...
Bob had built the truck body for Archie
since the last session. John Mennucci
painted the frame with Rustoleum Black paint with gusto. The floor board was strengthened with additional wood by Charlie and Bob. A gas leak was discovered along the inside
firewall. This was investigated and
found to be due to a connection at the "bowl". As usual, Charlie was able to come up with a
replacement bowl! Dennis and Ray were able to do the replacement, and the
connection was tightened up by John. The body was lifted off Bob's truck and
gingerly placed onto the chassis - then bolted down. Archie would not start. A problem with the fuse holder was
temporarily solved by shorting it with a nail.
Then Dennis and Al Bowder poured in "just a half cup of gas"
to see if the gas leak problem was solved.
Bob took off in Archie to show off the new look to the women while the
guys wondered if he would run out of gas....he didn't! Sue shared with us that she was able to
independently change her oil on her Model A at home! The dinner was great - Pizza was supplemented
by a tossed salad, and delicious marinated mushrooms.
Desserts included another apple pie made by Ray, a delicious sourcreme cinnamon cake, a fruited cheesecake ring, and whoopie pies.
