The first working day of the year found us all hard at work!
Casey started the day with two very large pieces of motorcar
and ended the day with one piece. There were six of us who helped lift the body from the sawhorses to the chassis-frame. We would have fitted the fenders, first, but the washers are not yet back from the zinc plater.
Curt concluded his work on the 1974 TR6 (PR) today.
And the young guys made great strides assembling the 1973 MGB.
Since it was a Federal Holiday we were one of the only businesses open up and down the street. When my son James and I drove to work at 7:45am the streets appeared as they do at 6:00 on a Sunday morning -- only an occasional pair of headlights.
Since you've made it this far, this is the center of the steering wheel from my own 1962 MGA 1600 Mark II Deluxe. The steering wheel center was prepared for me by David VonEpp, one of the "Three Musketeers" (the others were Dave Kercheval and Bob Connell (now of Connell's MG Service)). The center itself was an original University Motors Special badge enamelled for the original UML in Hanwell, London W7, for the 1969 MGCs that University Motors purchased from the factory and prepared. These discs are now easily obtainable (I'll sell you one!) but this, THIS, is an original!
