Default Wow

Amazingly speedy work Robert!

You certainly got your money's worth out of the battery.

Default Battery door

The late model C60L in Darwin's aircraft museum also has the battery access panel. Must have been a very late inclusion as its the ony one I have ever seen.
Sorry about the pic quality best I could do with my phone.

Hi Eric because I will still use the blitz as a spray rig for four months of the year it will never be a true restoration so I chose a colour I liked that coud be bought off the shelf in tins and pressure packs. It is a metal preserver and top coat in one so it saves a lot of time as well.

The cab back is on, I made good use of the trouble light I got for Christmas. The front bumper is also on. Next I need to do more cleaning and painting.
