Big thanks to a fellow MLU’er for taking the time to draw up the nose shroud for me. I’m now able to make a brand new one. I managed to make up the top and bottom parts today.

I also took advantage of the very nice weather today and got all the nose parts sprayed that lovely light hue colour.

The nose/cowl shroud is coming along nicely. I finished cutting out and bending up the two side panels today. Now I just need to do some final fitting and welding them up.

It only took 5402 days or 14 years, 9 months and 16 days to bring these parts home. From a post on the this very forum way back in January 2005 to last night is the time it took to track down and get these original Wire3 storage bins here. A huge huge thanks to Stewart Loy and to Rob Love for helping in the transport. It always amazes me just how helpful others are in this great hobby. And to think the bins were made in Brantford during the war.

Your persistence has paid off, well done!

Would love to see your WIRE-3 after it is finished.
