A Lovely Day

Spent yesterday being schooled on 1926 Model T Roadster body disassembly by Hank Lee - What a knowledgeable craftsman!! We took the 2nd 1926 Model T roadster body (remember the body I purchased with my car was a bondo buggy with massive rust out, etc.) up to his shop in Tennessee and tore into it. 13 Hours later, the end result is a totally disassembled roadster body with a confirmed GOOD (great?) body frame/panels with only 1 spot of rust out on the passenger rear body bun. (If I remember that's what its called)

Hank really knows his stuff, and isn't afraid to share that knowledge with anyone willing to do the work and who wants to learn.

Forever indebted to him and his wife for their hospitality.

Thanks Hank!!

And thank you Walt in Florida for the rock solid replacement body!!

Yep, Hank literally spent all day (12+ hours) helping me disassemble the roadster body.

He is a shining example of why I love this hobby so much - the folks are always willing to help each other out!!

Now to spend the next several weekends sandblasting parts, for the eventually re-assembly :-)

Hank is one of the very best and makes me extremely proud when I call him my friend.
