Default Re: E-tek Restorations: PROJECT THREAD

On a more mundane note....Spent a few hours engineering my way to lifting the Model T-rod shell and frame onto the table I built for it. Being a one-man operation, it sometimes takes a while to get things done - but get done they do.



Pulling the rear axle assembly was easy - 4 castle nuts hold the arched spring to the rear cross member and that's it!



After removing the right side fender today, I hooked it all up to the crane in order to get the body and frame up onto the table I built -







The Pullz-All comes in handy in a variety of settings.



Once back as far as the picker against the table would allow, I lowered it onto some dowels to make the final move easier -





Getting that done, along with some gardening, cruising in the 46 Merc AND the 81 TA and some shopping at Princess Auto, made for a glorious day 2 of the May long weekend! (Doesn't hurt that the wife and kids are away for the weekend too!!)

"Be Prepared To Stop" indeed ... even the Cuda's "lightning fast" Aerospace disc brakes wouldn't be enough if I was passing that garage.

Sounds like you should turn the Hot Tub off Ed and get into the workshop so you can teach Cuda some new skills.
