markings on aluminium
Hi Chris,
All original aluminium from 1944. I have seen similar maker markings on aircraft aluminium on military and civilian airplanes . My theory for AC is : Aircraft . Raw materials and aluminium were becoming more abundant in 1944 . Aluminium that was destined only to military aircraft production in the early years now was used for other purposes. Robert

markings
Chris/ David,
Good ideas both, thanks. The pictures of the markings are posted for eternity so if someone needs to see them they are there. On with a second coat of primer and then the insulation. Insulation ? I didn't tell you this Wire 5 was going to be heated and air conditioned ? I got the idea from no other than our own Phil Waterman's rig  so if there are any critics for my distraction from original write Phil  .Anyway the insulation won't show, it'll be under the wood panels.Good nite Phil,  Robert

Went for a ride in town
Friends,
Took a break from the restoration today and went for a ride in the countryside. Here the Wire 5 is parked at the local truck stop were i had lunch with the hard working truckers of the logging and sawmill industry. Feels nice to enjoy the road and scenery and get out of the primer fumes and smell the exhaust for a change. Keeping you posted. Cheers. Robert

a little paint can go a long way to improve looks
Friends,
Today i did a little painting on the outside of the truck. I do not know if it is truly , absolutely authentic for the North-West European campaign . I have seen a few time period pictures of freshly disembarked Jeeps in Normandy with the white paint at each end of the front bumper .The white and red wheel nuts i have seen on wartime pictures but in training in England. Would someone on this frequency please turn the crank on the field phone and call in with some additional on the info on the subject please ? Many thanks. Robert
