Shop Talk #2 - February 28, 2026
The driving season is upon us! We had 25 members in attendance for our 2nd Shop Talk Session.
Ted Anderson arrived in his pristine 1946 Ford Club Coupe, while Glen brought out his 1936 Chevrolet low cab for the day.
A big thank you to our host, Bob Cunningham, for once again opening his doors to the group.
Special thanks to Ken Buhler, who gave an excellent explanation of how a Model T Ford transmission operates. Ken also walked us through the process of rebuilding and balancing the internal components, all of which were on display. An impressive example of complex design and engineering from over 100 years ago.
Thank you to Dallas Doyle, who brought display boxes of Northwest Territories and Nunavut license plates from his collection. Dallas explained the different designs and the evolution of the iconic polar bear–style plates used in the Territories.
We also thank Jim Kehoe, who brought along a couple of vintage tools for members to identify. One was a tool for threading metal spokes, while the other turned out to be a tool used for smoothing and re-grooving starter and generator armature commutators.
Bill Fleming was busy taking action photos throughout the event. It was great to see such a strong turnout.
Stay safe and healthy, and keep on motoring.

Shop Talk #1 - January 16, 2026
Bob Cunningham kindly hosted the first of four Shop Talks planned for this year, with 23 club members in attendance. Many thanks to Ed for providing the photos.
Ivan presented an informative talk on the ins and outs of bead rolling panels, while Ken discussed the aftermarket two-speed rear end available for the 1926/27 Model T. Andrew demonstrated a tire patch clamp, and Ian noted that many garages in the past used Model T differentials cut into jack stands—one of which I happen to have in my own garage!
