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 |
down).
Accurate |
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. |
