Photos from Winter Car Work

Chief Car Officer Jeff Bennett is using a triangle corner cleaning sanding adapter on the oscillating multi tool….


And here’s why. With all the major paint and varnish removal out of the way and the bulk of the sanding done, the devil is now in the details!


And look! Another find from under the smoker wall. The mystery checkered flooring is found again. Yet another place that it exists, that seemingly would have had to be put in before the wall. Did this car come from the Jewett factory with this wild checker flooring??? The car department is convinced it did, but who knows!


Little chilly today and you see Jeff in the foreground holding the remnants of a heating element, and John is bundled up in the background continuing the seemingly endless detail work.


The John goes with that ever handy multi tool.


Big Ben has been working his fingers to the bone! He’s working on the window shade boxes. These ornate mahogany boxes house the window shades. They were of course covered in paint. The small detail work is endless. And not power tools on these, the wood is just too soft.
