How To: C15a Wire-3 restoration

[Jordan Baker]

I'm glad I got one way back when you had a run of them made. Bruce I will most likely be putting some small holes in for the wire-3 fittings. But all in good time.

I spent a bit of time tonight taking all of the canvas racks apart and the various rifle and headset clips. I'll start sandblasting them this week.

For the box my plan is to cut off the side, fix the floor/frame sheet metal. Get it sandblasted and then make new sides. Oh lots of work, but it's all for a great cause.

I seem to recall Jordan has the original plates for his Chev.

Started working on the left fender today. It was a bit beat up and no longer had the nice curve to match the right side one. I traced out the right side curve some plywood to act as a guide while fixed the fender. As the metal had been stretched and warped I have had to cut it so that it would bend. It is slow work but it should get it back close to the original shape.

Work on the fender is all completed. The cutting really allowed me to get a proper bend in place. I was also able to remove the excess stretched metal and keep it from puckering. I ended up using a tiny amount of JB-quick weld over the cured POR to fill a few minor pin holes from my welding. I sanded the JB weld down with a palm sander then over coated with POR again. This should seal it in forever.

Fitted the door back on and it fits like a glove.
