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!
