Ford Blitz Restoration/Rebuild

[Ian Fawbert]

Hi mate,

No worries. I'll have a look in the pile of bibs and bobs and see- yours first up if I find one.

Jacques, I am glad you had worked it out or are nearly working it out! I'm sorry I didn't get back to you- a lot of things piled up and I forgot about it. If I can help anymore, please let me know.

Cheers all,
Ian.

Has anyone heard from Mike Calnan (Gunner) in recent times?

I sent him a PM more than two weeks ago, asking if he received the USB with the Ford data plate photos on it. I have not yet got any reply.

This evening I emailed a fellow that reproduces WWII vehicle data plates, asking if he could copy from the high res photos, same as sent to Gunner.

I'll let you know when / if I receive a reply.

Well, I did say I would let you know the reply to my email, but I didn't think it would be this soon.

The chap has asked that I email photos, sizes desired & material for the plates. I'll do all that tomorrow and email him again in the evening.

Hi Ian, Fully understand, know how time slips away ie. 20 years later and still working on my F15A. I am still very grateful for the original photos and sketches you sent me as it got the ball rolling on making one up and filled in bits of info missing from other information sources. Many thanks again!

Jacques,
Thankyou. Good to hear mate! I look forward to seeing them sooner or later!


Tony,

Have you tried Shane Hodby (in Qld) who is in the MJCQ? He and another guy whose name escapes me now (Peter?) have been doing repro dataplates for quite a while- i think they did have Ford CMP ones and if not, would make them up from pics and dimensions.

Cheers,
Ian.

Hi Ian,

While on the subject of data plates I probably will stick this in the For Sale or Trade section but if anyone has a good (or at least better than mine, F15A plate) I will swap it for a good F15 plate. See attached scans. Otherwise I will also be keenly following the thread on data plate reproductions.
Brgds,
