If you haven't done so already, read about our incredible donation matching offer here. Donations are still being received, and we're still matching any contributions to any of the indoor storage funds. Most of the available money has already been pledged, but you still have a chance to get in on the action! Remember, the window closes on Dec. 20.

On Thursday both Al Reinschmidt and I were out at the Museum, working on the 36. Al spent most of the day in the shop, sanding down windows. First, he completed the time-consuming task of sanding down both sides of the end window that had been there for a while, after we had filled a rotted-out portion with epoxy. I later put a first coat of white primer on the exterior.
And here he is starting on another side window, one of 28. This task is repetitive, to be sure, but needs to be done.
And meanwhile, I finished stripping and sanding on four more sectors of the windows and trim on the car, and painted them with first primer. At some point soon it will be too cold to continue doing much on the outside of the 36, and I will switch over to finish repainting the main compartment of the 319. But we certainly plan to have the 36 entirely repainted and lettered in time for next year's Trolleypalooza.
