1st Place!
Student's have been working on our Model T hot rod for a number of years. It began as a drafting project in Jr. High (student drew the frame as a drafting project) and later student's in Auto 1 and Auto 2 have done a ton of welding, fabrication, assembly, etc.
Took the car to a traditional car show (pre-'65 cars) in Big Horn Wyo. this August and am proud to report the car won 1st Place in the "incomplete project" class! Many there were very impressed by the quality of the work our students produced. Can't say enough about how proud I am of them and of how proud they should be of themselves. Great Job!
School starts!
Here we go for another school year! The shop looks great, the maintenance staff worked hard this summer painting the floors and walls, thanks for all the hard work!
Please keep checking back to learn what's new, check on assignments, etc.
Really looking forward to another great year, thanks for checking in!

Hard to believe another year is just about over -
We are finishing up our last few book assignments in all classes and then the mad scramble is on to finish up projects and get the shop cleaned up and painted!
Please check with the instructor if you have any questions about assignments or anything else.

Updates from the shop!
Here are some of the things the students have been up to in the shop lately:
With the weather changing from cold to warm motorcycles have taken the place of snowmobiles in the shop. Projects include a stroker 110, a '70 Honda enduro and a re-assemble of a freshly painted dirt bike.
Students are still completing a number of impressive fabrication projects. Grill guards are a very popular and useful project. Our '40 chevy pickup is also receiving a hitch.
A number of engines are in the process of getting rebuilt, new cranks, etc. We have everything from full on rebuilds to minor "freshening up" jobs being performed.
The project to remove and replace the engine in a suburban is nearing completion. Another student is fixing questionable vacuum hoses on his Toyota pickup.
For our long term projects the '40 chevy pickup is getting wired, the headers are pretty much done for the '27, the '52 chevy pickup is struggling with some vacuum leaks and the '53 chevy sedan is getting an open rearend in preparation for a T5 swap. The '72 Nova is getting some body work and its engine is about ready to go back in.
In all, we have projects in the shop ranging from the 1920's to the current decade. Rebuilding, repairing, refinishing, fabricating the kids' are busy and doing great!

New Semester!
Hard to believe the year is half over! Here is what we have going on for the week of 1/18 to 1/22. We have the fortunate problem of having more students in Auto I than we have text books so 6th period Auto I has been assigned a different book. As such, make sure you are looking at the correct assignment for your class!
Auto I:
Read EL 27-43
Answer questions on pages EL 31, 37, 43
Work in shop Thursday and Friday
In this chapter students are learning how to diagnose and service the battery.
Auto I 6th period:

Answer questions on pages 32, 41
Work in shop Thursday and Friday
In this chapter students are learning how to diagnose and repair cooling and lubricating systems.

This week students will read Chapter 3 and answer questions on pages 21-24 in their workbooks. REMEMBER not to write in your workbooks, answer the questions on a separate piece of paper!
Auto II:
On Monday students watched a video and answered questions about motor oil. The rest of the week will be spent in the shop.
Here is a list of what we have been working lately:
modifying our engine hoist to lift pickup boxes and cabs
painting the engine compartment and trunk area of our '72 Nova
preparing to pull the engine out of our '73 pickup to put in the Nova
pulling the engine out of a '99 suburban in preparation for a replacement engine

A constant flow of snowmobiles continues through the shop

Welcome back!
Hope everyone had a good break! Here is what is happening the week of 1/4 to 1/8:
Tools for Life-
Read HB35-63 and complete questions on pages 46, 53, 58 and 63. This chapter deals with hand and power tools.
Auto I-
Read EP33-53 and complete questions on pages 46, 51, 53 and 54. This chapter deals with sensors and actuators.
Read SS61-79. This section deals with wheels and tires.
Auto II-
Most in class are at a lull right now on personal projects and so as a result we are getting some work done on shop projects. We are combining our '39 and '40 parts to create one pickup out of the two.
Work has resumed on building headers for the T and we are also in the process of getting the steering mounted and figured out.
With our recent rash of winter weather, the students have had a fairly constant supply of snowmobiles making there way through the shop as well!
Thanks for checking in!
