Our LRDG Chev

We have worked out what we hope is a good method of attaching the flat sheet-metal on the sides of the rear body to the supporting "battens". Because they taper in at the top we had to cut the battens out longitudinally from a piece of box section steel. In doing that we left 6 small "tabs" which we will poke through slots in the sheet-metal and weld them on from the inside. That will hide the welds, greatly reduce heat distortion, save time and (we hope) make a neater job. We will see how well that works in the next instalment.
