The 1926 donor car that
had been reported as 
sitting out for over 30 yrs.
It truly showed the wear
as a result.  It was a 
gold mine of parts to
this needy restorer.

The top of the old 
battery box (upside

dimensions were the
great value of this
part as well as all the
trinkets that were on it.

The new box top and
bottom just after the 
dovetails were done 
and fit. Next was a lot
of cutting, routing, 
sanding, and drilling to
make everything as
it fit on the old box.

The fittings that came
off the box top have 
left their mark for all
to see in the future.
All of these old parts are
 being saved in case
someone needs these
measurements again.
