Cleveland Transit System 4223

A lot got done on Saturday, things which have seen a lot of prep work and give great results.

Window Work

Alex Randow is cleaning the aluminum frames of side windows for the car, assisted by Nancy Ring.  This work is tedious but gives a great sense of accomplishment when viewing the transformation.  After cleaning, Alex applied some clear coat finish to help prolong their clean appearance over time.

Wiring

Eric Lorenz worked on cleaning and rewiring the three bulb housings for the dash lights, to be mounted on the front of the car.

Headlight Headaches

Alex Randow worked in front of the car, positioning and adjusting the headlight.  And at this same time - - -

Headlight Headaches

Eric Lorenz was inside the car lodged under the front dash, reaching in yet another convenient spot.  He is then locking the light in the position which Alex is holding from the outside.  I guess labor was cheap since many seemingly simple tasks require at least four hands to accomplish.

Dashed

And by days end here is one of the completed dash light assemblies mounted on the car.  This is one of those small items that really improves the look.  Before Thanksgiving we had thirty or so items for painting which we hoped to install on the car over the winter.  These intrepid volunteers have less than a handful remaining to be done.
