This is week 12 on the project
During the past week , Ray Pagliarini fabricated an intricate piece to finish putting the hood into place - copying a piece to match one from his Model A. Bob made some special parts to fit on the mangled old frame so new windshield mounts could be placed. He also drew up plans for building a frame and truck body using angle iron and wood. Before too long, Charlie and Ray had the hood going on. John M was working on making the new pieces to support the windshield frame line up with the body. Dennis was making a windshield mounting frame using torches and bending steel. Gene, Ray, Al Bowder and Charlie as well as Sue all worked to get the angle iron frame cut to length and fastened to the body. Ray and Gene went to work getting the rust off the framework, and Bob painted the angle iron. The wood parts were cut to measure with some difficulty related to having to "make" a fence to run the saw along to assure straight cuts. At the end of the session, the body frame was on Archie, the windshield is almost complete, the hood is on, and it was getting dark.
Dinner was so amazing, the women are starting to talk about putting together an Archie cookbook!
Sandy Bowder was able to be with the group, and all the ladies were helping Pat out with preparations since she suffered a broken finger during the past day or so.
Rosalie P brought veal with mushrooms and peppers, Dawn Mennucci brought eggplant in sauce, & Ruthi brought pasta & chicken. Edie made a wonderful salad, Pat made her special bread and provided condiments.
As always we had desserts "galore" to enjoy...
