Good evening everyone, With all the craziness in the world this year, I felt like I needed a project to take my mind off COVID and politics. So, I decided (with my wife's blessing") to build a "1910" touring from scratch. It is a learning process, and I have had help from several forum-members along...

Hello MTFCA. Is there a way to test the functionality of a coil box (with four rebuilt coils) and switch outside of the car? I have a wood coil box that was built a few years ago that I plan to use for my 1910 project. However, I am not sure that switch and the contacts inside the box are up to par....

Below is a photo of the end of the two-piece drive shaft tube as requested.

Please note that this is an original rear end and will likely need to be restored. I do not know if it has been rebuilt.

Well, I believe our first project build is officially finished. 16 months from start to finish. My son and I fabricated the top from scratch (burnt up two sewing machines in the process...lol). It is not perfect, but presentable. That kind of work makes you really appreciate the skills of Elizabeth ...
