On Thursday evening, the MTFC of St Louis along with the Model A Restorers Club had a display at the Missouri History Museum in Forest Park in conjunction with the showing of the movie "Show Me 66" About the history of route 66 through missouri.
This weekend we are having an overnight tour to St James. I am told about 125 miles of two lane, some gravel, and a river crossing where we'll get our wheels wet.

...the movie "Show Me 66" About the history of route 66 through missouri.
I believe Missouri is the only state where nearly all of old 66 still exists as state and county roads. I don't count Kansas, as the portion there was only about 12 miles. Long stretches still exist in California and Arizona, but in those states there are also places where the old road has been abandoned or replaced by the interstate.
The inevitable often happens.

I then said goodbye to the group and took a side trip south through Mark Twain National Forest. Miles and miles of gravel road and not another vehicle in sight.

Great time was had. It was my first long trip and first overnight tour. I’m looking forward to many more
Thanks to Sam Atkinson for his planning on this trip.

Finished painting the rear seat riser and installed the rear seat assembly. Wheels should be painted this week. Things are finally moving along.

The Redwood Empire Model T Club participated in two local parades over 4th of July weekend. It was hot but everything went well. I didn’t get a lot of pictures.

started making balance mandrels for the transmission drums and flywheel. Used the opportunity to let my son learn some lathe math and enjoyed some shop time together

I found a glove box for my TT . Problem is there is no place for cell phones, wallet,keys ect...
I picked up this tractor tool box at the steam and gas show last year. It was marked $10. I carried it over and he said he would not take less than $10 before I had a chance to speak. No rust and really straight ,I was happy. Only when I got home did I realize it was on the same angle as my ammeter mount. " Better to be lucky than good." Finally installed it.

Easy enough to make a wooden cup holder adapter to fit in.
Then some ice cream cone adapters.

"What have you done with your CHAPTER in July?"
Nothing. I have done a lot to my T in July, but that is covered in another topic.
Everything works in theory.
Reality is how you determine if something works or not.

We’ll, the cooker tour got cancelled due to a heat wave. I guess my chapter is probably done for July. Our monthly meeting isn’t much to write home about.

I do not think we have even hit 85 yet this summer and some nights I need to wear a jacket to walk the dog.
