Fall is full upon us here in Michigan; summer is setting. For the me and the Model A, this means a short ride here and there when the weather dries out enough, and when I can find time away from last-minute outdoor projects and the drudgery of raking leaves. Soon I will clean out the back end of the garage, lay down a couple sheets of Visqueen, winterize the engine, and bring the battery in for winter.It's not over for us, however. There are a lot of things I want to tinker on this winter: replace interior screws, figure out why the door handles are held on by wood screws, fidget with the instrument panel and see if I can't get the thing to sit square. There's also some funky wiring that needs to be fixed. Another project is installing seat belts and seeing if I can't find a way to secure two car seats in the back. (The risk of an accident is small, but I don't want a fender-bender sending my toddler through a windshield.)
All told, I am looking forward to having some time to prep the panel truck for spring, when we'll be back on the road again!
