There were several things that I wanted to work on during spring break: Moving out the desks, painting, replacing the bad floorboards, changing the consumables, getting the 24v lights working, etc. Although we didn’t finish everything (I didn’t expect us to) we made huge amounts of progress. I don’t have many pictures of pulling the desks out, so you’ll have to watch the video if you want to see that.

Working on the Deuce: Spring Break

We got a lot of work done over the course of the week. We removed all of the shelves, workbenches, and drawers from the box and began to clean the interior. We had to sand down the rust, clean off the mold, and lay new wood. We also started to paint the inside gray (instead of the old green color).The benches in the box were rather rusted where they made contact with the floor, so for many of the bolts it was easier to just use a Saws-all to cut them out. I have also made a small modification to the 24v light wiring in the box so that we can turn them on even when the truck is running 120v power. In addition to all of this, we also changed the fluids, belts, and filters in the engine.
