370 LE start to finish.....

[GCinSC2]

220J was an educated ? Guess. Lucky one too boot.

Lighting a Petromax/Aida/Genoil type with its preheat torch is an attention getter for sure. I own 3 and 2 more just hit the bench for full fettle. That puts total processed at 10-12 I think. They tend to define a bright lantern at 500CP.

But the one I enjoy just cause is any of my Milspec single mantle. Got 3 more at home. And my ‘63 King Seeley is on deck for tonight.

I ran out of pic space years ago.

My Coleman shenanigans happen at https://www.colemancollectorsforum.c...hlight=5+bench

I started a thread here about the old Coleman stove lives again a few years ago.

And now back to our regular broadcast.

Another full day on the kitchen today, very slowwwwww but steady progress. Also calibrated the speedometer today on the way in.....I had a co-pilot to help. Another full day planned for tomorrow.....hopefully will finish the countertop, and maybe get the sink installed as well as the new 2 burner range. All campgrounds (state) are still closed in New York, thanks to our Gestapo governor.....what a (Richard). Certain county executives are by passing the Gestapo dictatorship and are opening all businesses on Monday. Will post further progress tomorrow. We are going back to Cooperstown next weekend and hopefully taking the 370LE.....even if I have to use a bucket for the drain under the sink ! Regards, Bob

OK, a very productive day today......I’m about where I think I should be on this project. I think I overdid it this winter, between the new engine, dashboard, gauges and kitchen......I figure one more solid day on the kitchen and we’ll be finished....lol, it’s never done....heater vents installed, auxiliary heater vent mounted, new propane leak detector mounted, wired and tested, dishwasher installed, farm sink installed, and the countertop, we still have to cut out above the dishwasher for the flush mounted 2 burner range. I’ll finish up the plumbing connections before my next trip to the wood shop. I’ve made 4 round trips into Schenectady now, each one is 100 miles round trip. Engine is performing awesome, still have some carburetor and timing adjustments to make, but other than that I think we’re good to go for Yellowstone ! Regards, Bob

As always, Awesome!

Back in Cooperstown for a few days.....it’s my get away place where I go away to disconnect. We had planned on going to Rollins Pond in Saranac Lake (Adirondacks) but due to the democratic gestapo government that runs New York the campgrounds are closed. This week took its toll on me at work....the rioting in both Albany and Schenectady have changed the scenery more than I’de to see. Some people take a briefcase to work.....the last week I’ve taken my shotgun to work in addition to my 1911 friend. Work is super busy.....that’s a good thing. I have 1 to 2 more days left on the kitchen and we’re going to hit that next weekend. Regards, Bob

Fall get together in Cooperstown?

Our camping has been curtailed due to the lockdown of Michigan. I believe campgrounds will be allowed to open latter this month.

I was also planning on retrieving the 94 - 360 from Colorado this spring. Covid shut that down too.

I think the stress of draconian measures of the lockdown is a good share of the social unrest. Makes no sense to me! Hope people come to their senses soon.

Safe travels...

Another round on the kitchen tomorrow, I hope to have the stove in and hooked up and all the drawers and drawer fronts installed as well. The water, electric and waste is hooked up to the dishwasher. Farm sink faucet looks good, hopefully will get that installed Sunday. More pictures to follow, Regards, Bob

[bobmiller1]

Still not done.......Almost....sounds like a broken record. This has been a VERY painful experience ! We’ll do another day tomorrow. Regards, Bob

[bobmiller1]

6 full days.....DONE....sort of, just have to install the sink, connect the gas line to the stove, hook up the fresh water system, and a few other things.....what a winter ....new engine, new dashboard/gauges/wiring, and a new kitchen. Next winters project include the fire suppression system like I installed in the 325LE, 2 speed rear end, and get started on refinishing the original brushed finish of the exterior....I’m sure there will be a few other items along the way. Regards, Bob

"2 speed rear end"? Is that better than upgrading to a 4 speed auto from
the 3 speed auto that i have now?

[cmadmaxman]

Looking great Bob. Looking like you used every bit of available space. That's going to be one big sink!

[JJ1965]

That sink looks amazing! We just ordered countertops for our 345 and have been looking at sinks. All the options have my head spinning.

[mayco]

That’s more counter space than I have in our home kitchen

[bobmiller1]

Really ???

[bobmiller1]

The sink is (finally) installed ! A very tight fit. It took me one hour to snake the 1/4” fresh water line from the cabinet that houses the 2 (5) gallon water jugs to the sink. Using every inch available we pushed the new cabinets to the back wall to maximize the interior space of the cabinets. I had to get some special tools to tighten the water lines that go to the new faucet. Also because the tub (sink) is so deep I have to spend some extra time to modify the “P” trap. Another concern is hooking up the dishwasher waste line. I sometimes need a half a day to come up with a solution that will work and not one that will constantly give me problems down the road. I’m hoping to finalize the gas line to new the new 2 burner stove tomorrow morning. Regards, Bob

[mayco]

Since you can now take a bath in the kitchen sink, have you plans on how you’ll use the shower space???
That’s one big a$$ SINK!

[bobmiller1]

Glad you’re watching, Mike. Regards, Bob
