cmp body work

[Ken Hughes]

ok lets start a new thread on how we have gone about doing things on our cabs.
for instants replicating the roof hatch or the rear window frame?
in doing body work on these trucks you need a oxy/ acet plant , mig welder, arc welder,and an assortment of sanders, grinders etc .
on making a rear window frame you can fold up sheet steel to make the basic angle of the frame, easy.
then you need to make a template up for the corners.
if you have access to an original one take measurements and profiles and angles etc,using these shape up some wood or steel for the corners, you may have to make it in two parts to get the step,remember you also have to have a female and a male template,use the gas plant to heat the angle around the shaped corner to fit,weld together and sand/grind up.
you really need to have one to copy,i hope that you can follow my explanation of this, cheers.
