Hank and I went up to the museum to work on the Whitcomb. It rained all 3 days. Ray and Steve spiked down rail into some new ties, getting ready for a CSX engine to come for a fire exercise. Hank ground off the bolts on the radiator grill because they were too rusty to be unbolted. We also had to grind off some of the 16 bolts in the bottom tank. We bolted in 'C' channel brackets which will connect to the 1/4 plate we are putting on the bottom of the radiator to seal the ice crack. We laid the new steel plate in and measured for the bolt pattern. I mounted the governors, the 2 carburetors and the magneto. Hank made gaskets for the valve covers. We got soaked through to our underwear.
