Well Some more progress over the last few weeks. As I had a run in with photobucket I deleted my account.
I did some sandblasting and prepped a lot of small hardware. Trouble is, the more you do, the more you find.
I removed the temporary brace and the 1/4" rivet misalignment has become about 1/16" ordered additional rivets but they are too small so I'll have to make up some with steel rod.
I bought a 'toy' oxy propane kit which is pretty useless. If it doesnt heat the rivets hot enough I will have to get a proper Oxy Acetelene kit for riveting.
For the eagle eyed- yes there are two Jeep body parts on the table.
Cheers,
Ian
