By Harvey Cash - Winnemucca Nevada on Sunday, August 23, 2015 - 01:31 pm:My sister's Coupe is approaching the finish line. The new seat springs arrived from Snyder's so I felt it was time for a minor test run. It's been a 3 year project so far with only the roof, upholstery and some minor things left. I hope to finish by Christmas. Looks a great deal different than when I started in 2012. It proves that even an old amateur like me can succeed with the great help from the MTFCA and this forum. Harv

By Eric Sole - Castelldefels (Spain) on Sunday, August 23, 2015 - 05:44 pm:Harvey, this is off topic but when I saw your location I remembered it:
I have a leather cash bag from the Winnemucca State Bank & Trust Co. It belonged to my great uncle J.C. Gardner who taught music at the University in Pocatello, Idaho. I don't know how old it is, only that my great uncle passed away in 1969 and he had a four digit phone number inside the bag.
I keep thinking there will be some really neat use for it in the Model T but so far haven't found it.
By Eric Sole - Castelldefels (Spain) on Sunday, August 23, 2015 - 05:48 pm:Oh, and your car looks fantastic! You're moving along a lot faster than I am on mine. 
By Harvey Cash - Winnemucca Nevada on Sunday, August 23, 2015 - 06:41 pm:Eric, That bank corporation dissolved in 1933 so the bag you have is definitely from the model T era. I'll bet you can find a use for it somewhere. Hope your car is coming along. Harv.

Beautiful car, you've done a great job.
What kind and color is the green body paint?
All the best, jb
By Tom Lovejoy, So Cal on Monday, August 24, 2015 - 12:29 am:wonderful, keep at it
By Harvey Cash - Winnemucca Nevada on Monday, August 24, 2015 - 02:59 pm:James, I used a brand called Van Sickle, The color is medium green which is an older tractor color. I like this paint because I can buy the same color in a spray can to touch up any mistakes. My can of paint was old so I thinned it maybe more than it should have been, but it seemed to do ok. Thanks for the complement. Harv.
By Wayne Sheldon, Grass Valley, CA on Monday, August 24, 2015 - 03:02 pm:Very nice! You do make good time.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2
By Kevin Holland, Utah on Monday, August 24, 2015 - 08:17 pm:I heard that it had to dissolve do to a bank robbery and the culprit was headed toward Idaho.
By Harvey Cash - Winnemucca Nevada on Monday, August 24, 2015 - 10:05 pm:That's the rumor. Harv.
