Electric Car Department

Electrical

Eric Lorenz and Lorne Tweed are going over an electrical cabinet that lives below the front dash at the end of the car.  The old one is in pretty sad shape and a lot of the framing and cabinet work will need new parts fabricated.  This step is all part of the work needing to be done and getting wires pulled, before installing the new glass windshields and painting that area.

Innards

Here is a better look at the switches and fuse blocks that live in the above cabinet.  Sketchy schematics, lots of cut wires, missing elements and fuses.  Did I mention it was dirty?

Windows

Of course we need to mention windows in any such BLOG entry.  Alex Randow works on these pretty regularly and he is checking the growing pile of completed sash.  17 large sash and 18 small sash are now complete.

Panels

Alex also worked on cleaning up several old panels and trim work needed for the car interior.  These represent items in good enough shape to re-use, and as explained previously, several items need to be re-installed before the side window areas can be completed.  Note that these now shine like new metal, you would not have thought this possible if you examined them before his work.  It did not happen by accident.

More Windows

Keith Letsche walked in Sunday and volunteered to do more window sash.  This project is mostly a Wednesday/Saturday crew and this unexpected work only adds to and advances the work.  Thanks, Keith.
