C8a hup
Is this a C8A HUW model ?
Was wondering if anyone has heard how M.Perry is doing with his HUP restoration?

Gordon, that's a staff car with the sliding windows and it's sitting in Gronlid, Sask in that pic.
The Heavy Utilities came in the Personnel, Wireless, Machinery, Computer, and Staff versions. Mine is a Personnel that's been chopped and the other body that I got from Bill Spence is a Computer model. When I get that stuff from you I'll be able to start on it too. I'll have four on the go then. Is that getting carried away?

Since you asked ...
Quote:
I have lately been bolting on fenders and running boards and rebuilding the sliding glass windows (There are six of them (plus another will be needed for the partition) and each frame is made up of a half-dozen-or-so metal strips, channels, and a buncha screws. I have remounted the steering column, got the wiring loom in, and rebuilt the brake lines (but may have to redo one or two of them), new wheel cylinders and rebuilt master, plus all shoes relined, as well the parking brake which is reinstalled along with the drive shafts. I was reassembling the shell section, but need to find the correct screws for the vent door hinges, and have obtained new bits and pieces for the headlight buckets, one of which is more banged up than I earlier realized. I need to have one fuel tank rebuilt from a LH to a RH - one which was already converted from RH to LH (it's a long story), and I thought I'd take the rad in for servicing if I found a shop that did good work on the tanks. There is a fair bit of sheet metal cosmetics I have yet to deal with, and some sheet metal fabricating I need to do or have done for a few items, such as the oil can brackets. I had been aiming to deal with the engine and paint and remount it this spring, but time, budget and everything else seem to be pushing that back as well. I have a fence to build out there, also, among other things. Lots of other piddly items I could detail, but that's about where things sit at the moment.
