1939 9N progress

[Dan]

I am coming along slowly with the '39 - but I knew I would be taking my time with this one anyway. The engine is running strong with no unusual noises or issues save two - the crack repair at the very back of the engine did not seal up and seeps, and the front and rear main seals are leaking. Not major issues - just pains in the a**. Body is painted back to the differential section, and I am prepping that area now for painting soon. Wheels are on, but still rough - but he is mobile now. All gears work fine and brakes now work to stop

I updated the photo log on my website with current progress pics if anyone wants to see.

Dan;
You must have put the update pix in your album just last night or this morn. I've been checking up on ya, from time to time, and was just there yesterday aft.
That "N" is really looking nice. That is a LOT of work you have done.
I see where you are lookin' for another job. Sorry to hear about things as they are, but.... I'm sure with your background and work knowledge, you will land something. Everything happens for a reason, and maybe you were just meant to move on.
Good luck!!! And keep us updated on the "9".

Yep - I updated the web this morning.

As far as the job situation - yeah, I too believe everything major seems to happen for a reason - and it was time to move on.

Thanks for the kind words.

Hi Dan, i really like what you have done to the old girl,looks great. i noticed you said you found a set of leather dust covers for the drag links,like the originals.i wondered about doing the same thing to mine,but didn't know if you could rebuild them? how hard a job is it? thanks,Jay2NSC

 

[Dan]

I did not rebuild them, I got them from external_link. They are a little pricey - but nice!

Dan, great pics and great job on the old gal! I have a "working" '41 9N that I'd like to restore someday and intend to use your pics as a guide.
