cab11C15 and 2A body
Things look great Dave I just had a though that if you want a one of a kind you can put some bullet holes in it . One of the things about a one of the kind is you can never get an original picture of one . I have never found a picture of my five window cab DT969 wrecker or the RCAF Fordson tractor that I have . george

Excellent work, Dave. Great to see the 2A1 come to life in your workshop.
It would be nice to see it fully finished with the Motley in place. Alex

I put the angle irons on the bottom of the seat legs. The seat bolts to the angles and the angles bolt down in the division board holes. You can move the seat ahead or back using these holes but any pix I've seen has it mounted on center anyway.
On checking out some of my 2A1 pix I see that the Canadian box has more metal edging on the panels than the British trucks. I had to take the sides off to put the edging on them. I started making the side hinges so should start on the top side panels tomorrow.

I made a couple of hinges today and wouldn't have dreamed that it would take almost 3 hours to blacksmith them into shape. It's hard to get the bend in the right place but the next ones will go quicker. Only 6 more to go.
I included a pic of the side folded down since I haven't seen one in all my pix and had to see how it looked. I also made a division board and put it in place. None of the Motley pix I have have a division board in place but it looks like it would be a good idea to keep any of the kit from tangling with your feet when you were rotating the seat. In the holes I've got it in there's just room for your feet.

Dave,
Excellent work! I have said it already, but I will say it again; it's very nice to see the box and Motley come to life! Alex
