Here is the last picture for now.

This is the 3/4 complete frontal armour. it still had the parts of the angle iron attachments for the the bow plate. I did try using heat but to no luck. The nuts would loosen somwhat and then the whole thing would either spin or just snap of. So i ended up cutting them off with the angle grinder. Ive decided to use new ones as I wont have to worry about bad threads and rust causing problems. The other reasone was that many of the nuts were badly rusted and no longer were any size. The only problem is that the new one have a bigger head. Im planning to grind them down flush with the plate once they are in and tightened. If anyone had any suggestions im open to try them out.

Further to this, if anyone has any leads on original plates that im missing could you let me know.

So this is where I am for now. My plan is that over the winter I can get lots of fabrication done or at least started and have accumulated as many original parts as I can.

Sincerely
Jordan Baker
