So it has been a while since the last post. I guess life gets in the way a little and time never stops.
The frame is almost finished getting blasted. Who would have ever thought sand blasting would take so long? On TV it goes by so quickly.
Marc and I started to tear down the frame and get it ready for powdercoating.
This thing is going to look so nice with a new coat of paint on everything.
The front drums were a little bit stubborn but with a little bit of time we had them torn down.
The next time you see this coil spring it will have a shiny new coat of black paint on it.
What is good for one side must be good for the other. Isn't it funny how the first one takes twice the time to tear down as the second. I think we are starting to get good at this. I could open my own shop for 1936 cars if more than one person in each state had one.
Breaking down the front hub and spindle.
That main bolt on the steering assembly was tough to get out. I guess it wanted to hang on tight after 74 years.
My son Charlie sandblasting away on the front end components, getting them ready for paint.
Well there you have it. We have gone from rolling chassis to a heavy duty steel Rickshaw. All in a days work.
