Archie Project- week 11 - August 31, 2014 Update

This is week 11 on the project  - a week's delay occurred when a prime member had a health problem last week, but onward and upward this week!  John and Gene tackled the wiring and did a great job demonstrated by working lights, horn and installation of the dashboard controls by the end of the session.  The long angle irons supplied by Charlie were cut to length by Bob by grinder and Ray by hacksaw!  The seats were installed after adjusting the floorboards and testing a support board that was donated by Franklin and  adjusted by Al Silvia and Al Bowder. It did not work out, but other modifications were made.  Bob had installed adjusters on the seats.  The levers on those mechanisms were bent for safety and comfort by Dennis and Charlie. The angle iron pieces were bolted to the frame to become the base for the truck body that is coming soon.   The floorboard was cut to fit the seats and bolted to the new framework.   At the end of the session, Dennis and Bob drove the car around the yard with lights on and signaling the ladies with the horn so they knew it was time for dinner!  The food was, as always, welcome and wonderful!  Sandwiches were made by Ruth along with potato salad provided by Dawn Mennucci. Pat made coleslaw;  Evie provided a cold cut platter and rolls/bread were abundant.  Chips, pickles, condiments for making sandwiches and a huge assortment of desserts were brought by Rosalie, Dennis, Sandy Bowder, &  Janice Rousseau.  Another  WOW meal!    Check out the pictures below......
