We noticed wrong tire direction right away when we picked it up. We thought we'll just turn the wheel around and be fine but nope wont fit that way so we broke it down. A good thing we did as the tube was way too big and had folds in it and the valve stem hole was rotten also. Got new tube and cut out a patch from another rim and welded it in. The tires are Remington's never saw those before! On the side wall is marked with arrows one way for traction the other way for road use. They are old tires but no weather checking at all. Took er out yesterday for a ten mile run half way at full throttle she runs nice a little wobble in the front though.

Here's a tease. More of the after this week end.

Our club has been restoring a C demonstrator for scholarship raffle this winter, got to finish some painting yet but, just had to take er out for a ride! Went about three miles a little cold on the fingers but, sure felt good to go for a ride!

In our area not much sap flowing yet. Ground is frozen two feet down yet.

Yes indeed one thing leads to another and the credit card gets a work out! Nice journaling on this rebuild !

We went to look at the BIG LAKE yesterday, at Stoney Point there were 16' waves and lots of spray. There were 8-10 guys' surfing out there with wet suits on! They quite often do this when the lake gets rough! They'd stay out a while then come in warm up and back out they'd go! Ah to be young again ?

When the weather does warm up everyone will be scrambling to get things done! Lots of projects are already screaming me first, me first !

Our club is restoring a C made in 1950 Jan-Feb serial # 51653. It is a Demo, first coat of paint on it is white also. We are raffling this off as a scholarship fund raiser for students that are going into one of the industrial trades.

That was darn near as good as being there myself!

The reflectors in the lights on our C are dirty what would you use to polish them up without getting them scratched?

Like most salvage yards they are connected through the net and if they don't have it they will check with other yards.

If I remember right they are tapered. Back the nut off a couple of turns, jack the axel up so the tire is off the ground, use some heat if you want, hit the nut with a heavy hammer and it will come loose.

I would think the ol 5 second rule would apply here!

A nice bunch there, good to see.

I hope he wasn't in the evaporator!!!!!
