Reference: Plans How to build a tool box for a CMP truck

[Mike Timoshyk]

Hanno, what is GRP? Glass reinforced plastic. Do you mean Fiberglass?
or something more exotic like radar obsorbing carbon fiber....radar obsorbing wouldl definately be necessary after all it is powered by one of those huge V8s...don't want the Gendarms pinching me with radar.

cheers

The best reproduction of a clamshell carrier and tool box I saw were done by 2 gentlemen by the names of Walter Brand and Albert banes. You could not tell which was the reproduction or the original at first glance. The only difference I saw was the pitting from the damage rusting had on the metal.

Mike..
Young Yeo is right...Walter also has a 11 Cab gun tractor and is just north of you in Petrolia..
Next time I'm in Techumseh I'll contact you and we'll take a jog up to Petrollia and see them..You should see this thing..Hand built by these guys..
It was at CC6 a few years ago..

Hi Alex,

Anytime you or anyone else is in my vicinity is more than welcome to drop by.

A little progress....had some snow to clear after the plow came by.

Cut the curve on the 2 sides to accommodate the spare tire and did some layout work for the partition and the top. I have no plasma cutter but have managed to scarf the material with a grinder and then used tin snips and bending back and forth...and finish off with the grinder. All in all not too bad. The top is 1/8 plate....I will probably use the good ol' gas axe tomorrow.

Bob...it's a Jackson Triggs Cabernet Merlot

till tomorrow

Myke, you needs some edumcatin'! Feed the Jackie- stuff to the dawg and go buy yourself some good Hillebrand Merlot... THAT is the Nectar of the Gods... but you have to pour a libation to the CMP God too don't forget! It's mandatory...

The CMP gods have received their due on far too many occasions...I don't think I have had a complete set of stem ware for longer than a fortnight. BTW does Hillebrand Merlot come in a box?

Yes Boob more white s...t coming haven't found an icon appropriate enough for it....

cheers
