Project 358 Work Session Announcement

By Members Only, Uncategorized

We will have an organized group work session on January 13th and 14th.  We will be continuing to work on removal of dirt and rust from the frame as well as body work.  I would really like to get the cosmetic work wrapped up by late spring.  If we all work together we can accomplish this goal. I will be there for the first part of the day on Saturday and all day Sunday.  Zach will be there on Sunday for car body work and the associated fabrication.

Please email project manager Chris Lantz at Lantz@fwrhs.org if you plan to attend.
