There were a lot of screws through the roof of these boxes , a whole lot of holes where water seeps in and destroys everything ... The box is a very early version of the 2K1 . The roof had traces of the composite wood anti - slip slats . Reports from the field complained that these would soak up water and disintegrate thus letting water seep into the box . They anti skid strips were changed to hardwood on the later and final version . Also , in my prior restoration i did not have to tear apart the ceiling , roof and trusses . So in this last picture nothing holds up the aluminum sheets because i had to tear out everything . The steel , the plywood and all the screws were rotted .Don’t worry , i will not document the whole restoration , that’s already been done . I will only document the rebuilding of the ceiling and roof of the box because i did not have to do this on my other one because it was in excellent condition . Some guys balk at the thought of doing this . I hope to put some reservations to rest . Guys, go for it !
