[AT] AC B 38

[Ronald L. Cook]

About the only 1938 features left on my '38 B are the narrow rear rims 
and tires.  The old kid has been re-engined, electrified 12 volt, later 
model front hubs and wheels, hydraulic pump, foot brake pedals on there 
but were hooked to the hand brake levers.(I have that mess disconnected) 
The serial number is good for '38 believe it or not, and the original 
purchaser that also did all the updates except 6 to 12 volt electric was 
here yesterday looking at my spray plane.<g>
