In this episode from the StanceWorks channel, the guys are back at it with their Model A truck project. After a fender bender, they tackle the damage to the driver's side header and flange. With precision and determination, they cut off the dented primary and skillfully weld on a new one, ensuring it matches the other side perfectly. It's all about attention to detail, folks.
Moving on to the interior, they dive into designing and 3D printing a window crank handle for the manual windows. No shortcuts here, they want everything to be just right. They also take the time to create new sliders for the windshield, ensuring it can properly open and close. And let's not forget those frame caps for the end of the frame rails, because who doesn't love a nice, finished look?
With the welding done and the parts assembled, it's time to install the window crank. It's a satisfying moment when everything fits together like a well-oiled machine. And speaking of satisfaction, they also reupholster the interior door panels with a perfect match of black vinyl. It may not be original, but it sure looks the part.
But wait, there's more! They address the issue of ethanol fuel left in the fuel cell for two years. Lesson learned, folks. They drain the old fuel and replace it with fresh, clean fuel. It's all about taking care of the little things, because they add up to a big difference. And with each step completed, this Model A truck is inching closer to completion. Stay tuned for the next exciting episode, where they'll continue their quest to get this beauty back on the road.
