Ford Blitz Restoration/Rebuild

Arrived home from Victoria on Wednesday. Bryce arrived at his new posting this afternoon. He drove the 1,500+km. His first serious road trip, now completed.

Speaking of road trips, and back on CMP track. About 45 minutes ago I returned home from a 770km round trip to see CMP wheels take the military tread tyres that have proven their better of me. Having now seen this done, and (more importantly) taken photos of the process, I believe I can recant the finer points with reasonable accuracy. More pleasingly, I've got 3 of my nice green 16" wheels shod with fresh tyres, in back of my trailer. One more to go, then I'm ready to put the lot on the grey truck.

Bearing in mind the fact I left home at 0730hrs, and returned around 2100hrs, now isn't best time for gathering my thoughts into some form of coherence. I will download the photos from my phone tomorrow morning and offer the technique, step by step, tomorrow afternoon. Apologies for dragging this out another day, but I'm tired, my arse is still numb from hours of driving, and my back hurts. A couple of strong pain killers and a good nights sleep will fix all that though.
