Hey Bruce , that would be fantastic ! I acid etched the aluminium yesterday and applied a special aluminium primer today . Ready to apply the first sheets of plywood and fabricating steel arches to support the roof . Like i said before , i did not have to do this on my prior restoration because the support arches were solid .

The challenge is the dissimilar metal corrosion . The frame of the box is made of steel but the envelope is made of aluminium .

The challenge of dissimilar metal corrosion is encountered frequently in aviation but seldom have i seen it in military trucks.
