Off to the left
Hello Tony,
Just wondering if you have any photographs of the vehicle to the left of your truck shown in photo AP show 2012 030.jpg? If so could you post them up please? Kind Regards Lionel

Sorry guys
Apologies to Keith, Lionel and Alex. Ive been away again with work and no internet access.
Stylesy didnt even offer Keith. Maybe your footage of my gear bashing has reached Temora so no, I dipped out there. Not sure Lionel if I did get shot of that truck by itself. It is a '52 Ford and is and authentic Aust. Army troop transport. Ian puts the carrier on the back of it as well as other things he owns. It is great to drive. Thanks for your kind comments Alex. It was a lot of fun recording those.

Doin' a bit.
Thought Id better stop thinking about it and just do it. I have finally started on the passenger door of the truck.
I wont say doors at this point 'cause these thing's seem to take an age to do. Got a passenger door with a reasonable frame and skin to start with. Trial fitted the old door. Just to if everything was lining up. Pretty good fit, hinge at the bottom needs to be bent forward a bit. Removed old skin using a drill to get through them and then a hammer and chisel to lift off the skin from the frame. Flattened out old skin, used it as a template and cut it new skin with an angle grinder.

A bit more
Cleaned up old frame at the sand blasters to see how bad the bottom was.
Actually not too bad. I mean, its certainly not as good as new but OK. Had a bit of ding in the top of the frame. Did a bit of creative panel beating to knock it out (well not quite but it looks OK). New skin is a heavier gauge steel. Why? I have no idea really. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Ill let you know with the end result if this was a good idea or a bad idea. Repaired frame with the assistance of Bruce Peelgrain....he also has an Oxy and I dont. He also has a stick welder and I dont. He also is a better welder than I am. Gave the new skin a clean up and primed it. Primed the frame as well.
