Re: 1952 1 Ton Rebuild

Hey Guys!
It's been a while, I'll do my best to bring everyone up to speed.
I graduated from Milwaukee School of Engineering This past November, and I've got a job with a pretty slick outfit.
What else? oh! Hank Runs

That was the first video of him moving, stop, and turning on it's own in over 35 years.
That was pretty cool.

I came up with a neat way to use the original pedal with a solenoid starter. I used a softer spring in the starter pedal so when you press the pedal, it had the two levels of resistance that the original setup used.

I just bought new door hinges, vent windows, lock cylinders, altman latches, and door handles. I'll post more pictures as I get the time.
