Title: Local guy needs assistance getting a newly converted EV to go
Post by: ted.lowe on November 27, 2012, 10:32:40 PM

We got a phone call from George Gozdziak 630-985-3844 who has recently completed a rather interesting conversion of a Model-T.  He bought a kit (from Utah) and followed the instructions and now he can't seem to get it to spin up.  He has been to one of our meetings before, but i can't connect the name to a face.   He lives locally near Rt 53 & Rt75 in Naperville.

i told him that he called the right place and told him we could probably help him out.  Would someone (or a couple people) be willing to drop by his house and do some triage of the situation?  And/or should we assemble a mini-project team to help him get going ?

How about a mini-team?  This Saturday sounds would be good - how about it?

Great job Ted and Todd!  Get his name, contact info and cordially invite him to the next meeting in December.  I want photos of that model T and to meet him.
