Hi Peter
When Brian, Mel and I came for a visit you mentioned your son was on the fire department in Fort McMurray. The fire chief was on Toronto radio tonight and said that they have lost 1800 homes so far with the wildfires. He also said Highway 63 was shut down so the evacuation of the 88,000 residents is kind of stalled. I guess the road is plugged with people out of gas trying to make the four and a half hour drive to Edmonton where the evacuation centres are. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Barry

Instruction plate
Guys,
With the information provided by Rick Cove and the aid of some sketches from the operators manual I had enough information to take to my local engraver and have a new one fabricated. These small items can be just as rewarding as the larger components. I cannot begin to think how difficult this process would have been without MLU and it's members. I quite like Phil Waterman's words on the subject of "paying it forward". Peter 2016-05-12 21.24.17.jpg 2016-05-12 20.17.03.jpg 2016-05-12 19.53.24.jpg 2016-05-12 19.50.28.jpg

Plate
Lance, I was pleasantly surprised when I first approached my local printer/engraver. With a scanner and computer controlled engraving it turned out quite well and was very inexpensive.

Australian Influence
Guys,
MLU membership has made my restoration much easier, I just didn't recognize how far and wide the MLU extends in this internet age. Rick Cove has assisted me tremendously with information and advice. In addition Gina Vampire had generously provided me with some paint samples of the interior. After many months of procrastinating, I stripped out the crew compartment and painted it. Makes a dramatic difference. Summer activities are now having a significant impact on my garage time, but it's a great motivator to look into the crew compartment and recognize how far it has actually come.
