Work Party at the Azevedo's
Garage
The
work party at the Azevedo's on June 27th was well attended and bristling with activity. Larry and Lorna had
recently returned from Northern California and brought back two cars formerly owned by Larry's father and Model T
expert George. Both cars are both rare and exotic. One is a 1915 Coupelet that George very
accurately restored. All parts on the car are correct for 1915. The only major project left to be done
is to make and install a top. The second car, a Faultless bodied Raceabout, was a frequent participant in
Northern California speedster runs. The body was made by George and is based on an original Faultless bodied
car. Both cars are absolutely beautiful and wonderful additions to the Azevedo's collection and the Tin
Lizzies roster of T's!
Other projects that day included
Neil working on the transmission of his son Tim's fire engine. Neil was carefully filing the worn clutch
housing to receive spacers for the clutch discs.
Brian brought is newly restored
1912 speedster in to adjust the car's high speed shifting. He was also confirming the differential gear
ratio.
Paul and Vernon were focused on
installing valves in Paul's touring car engine. Larry has the equipment to grind and cut the valves to the
correct length.
