Tony .... you are doing such a good and nice job that the truck will not look factory fresh anymore.

Don't know how particular the 1940 crew was at Holden but the Oshawa made trucks had a lot of flaws..... some of the spot welding divots can be seen at 10 paces..... they had one purpose to get them out and running and they sure did.

My old truck lasted 72 years without any rust proofing or any of the modern paints...... and like many others sweated bullets to restore to better than factory.... if a weld is not perfect we grind and weld again..... they had no such luxuries during the war.......

So with all our care and modern chemicals, paint, sealers..... do you think our vehicles will last another 100 years.....???

I enjoy following your progress ......... we are all perfectionists in our own way.

Keep it green
