Clutch discs ordered

Ordered the clutch parts.  Once installed I can put the engine back in.

We have an antique show coming up next week.  Still had to make 2 more show walls.
These are the last 2 walls I needed to make.

Shift linkage completed

All the repairs consisted of turning sleeves on a lath.  This should make a big difference in shifting the gearbox.

This sleeve was a little trickier, had to make it oblong to fit.

The sleeve on the top I purchased at Lowe's store.  The one on the bottom is the end result turned on the lath.


And that sleeve will go into the hole just to the lower right.

April Fool's


Winter just won't leave.  Seems like a bad April Fool's joke.


However progress was made the other day.  The engine bay is done.
