Wagon Restoration at the Wagon Shop

  

Wagon Restoration

In the summer of 2003 the restoration of a wagon into a beverage delivery unit was decided upon as an indoor project for the winter. The wagon shop has a wood burning stove which provides just enough heat to make it comfortable inside if the wind isn't blowing. Jim Kyle present proprietor of the wagon shop was the master mechanic on this project and was assisted by Arnie Buza, Mike Dalton and Scott Dutton on this project. The work on this project continued  throughout the summer months is really taking shape. As of November 19, 2004 only minor work on the seat remained on the wagon. We are hoping to get one of the beverage companies to stencil it with a logo and perhaps gain some advertising revenue in the process.
