The unceasing rain today has brought useful work to a halt.

Instead, I got one of the side door curtain flaps from upholsterer, and sourced adequate polycarbonate sheeting to make two new ones prior to sending frames to upholsterer on Mon or Tues.

I had taken some reference photos yesterday, showing the position of frames when installed on the doors. These are specifically to avoid any misunderstandings of how the whole thing works. I have noticed that both frames are identical in that they are not 100% parallel to the windscreen support frame. This is found now, due to me not attempting to fit roof at time of assembling doors and w/screen panel to cab. Therefore exact position of windscreen panel will not be realised until roof is fitted. That will be MUCH later.

The original curtain frame on drivers side showed the same thing, so it will either be remedied by later adjustment of screen panel, or curtain has NEVER been quite right. Either way, no problem because the original canvas did fit, and new canvas will also.

While I may not get the engine cover undercoated tomorrow because of rainy weather. I have bought a number of sheets of cardboard today, to make templates for cutting the heat/acoustic insulation for under the cover sections. That I can do in the workshop, regardless of weather. I never paint in workshop, due to great risk of paint dust adhering to other surfaces before it dries. That risk is doubled in cold weather.

I got the drivers floor plate from sandblasting on Friday, and it will get a small welding repair tomorrow, unless it's raining really hard.

So, overall, no dramatic progress achieved. No photos worthy of publishing. The photos I had intended to take from our Memorial Lane murals, have now been put on hold until the Blue Skies Chase Those Dark Clouds Far Away!
