Tie Coat has been applied to the frame. Now I just have to wait 24hrs for the stuff to cure. Then bring on the SCC2.

More progress being made. Chassis is in its final colour of SCC2. Its nice to have a change from all the green.

The cab has also been Por'd. I still have to go back and do some welding and fixing of some the weld nuts. But I figured id paint it so that if I got delayed it wouldn't rust up on me again.

Last two pictures for now.

Its nice to be starting to bolt some stuff back on.

Lastly, does anyone know what the piece with arrow pointing to was for? Ive looked through a lot of pictures and can't find anything. The front of the truck is to the right of the picture.

Default Strange...!!!

Hi Jordan

Nice job with the paint. SSC2 is that the "t^*^d" brown...... were did you get it???

That is an unusual piece of steel very well rivited and obviously cut off with a torch.

You ALSO have two other strange extra steel plate on either side of that same cross member.....in line with the frame with 3 recessed holes for the existing croass member rivet heads...... never seen that before....

Anybody else have any ideas....?

Cheers

Hi Bob. The two steel plates in line with the frame are what the tool box sits and bolts onto. It's four 1/2" unf bolts that screw into the smaller holes. The big ones are there so the plate clears the frame rivets.

Default Cab Brace

Hi Jordan

That looks like a cab brace, should have matching holes on the frame cross support for the cab.

See in the photo below which is of my Pat 13, 1942 C60S.
