Frame work for the back wall completed
Now waiting for fair weather to do the sandblasting and skinning.
Will be using 18guage Chris as it is closer to the original 19 gauge. We plan on rolling the ends and will work to have a close fit during dry runs.
When everything is ready we will be using the automotive metal glue. works great and give sufficient working time before final set. Edge will be rolled at the bottom using a bead roller.
We have used the glue before on a cab 13 and it worked beautifully solid with no heat warpage. It also seals the space between the angle and the skin hopefully reducing chance for rust to form. Should last another 74 years!!
Everything will get coated with POR 15, binding primer and 2 or 3 coats of OD.
While waiting for more suitable weather we will be redoing the engine cover panels that have cancer near the floor area. This will give us a chance to make use of our pan box brake.
Cheers
