Default Ca va bien merci.....

Hi David

I was hoping for tooooo much... I checked out the site... no luck..

You know how some companies in India... to give an example.. have bought out licenses to produce old model of tires... of the old one cylinder 1920 type gas engines... and a fairly good reproduction of the Massey Ferguson 135 tractor.... well I was hoping that such a firm might be producing some of the hard to find sheet metal for the Dodge Power Wagon..... known as the "flat fender" model.... that is the civilian 1947 to 1967ish quasi military 4x4 model..... it had the left over military flat fenders of the WC 52 with a 1947 civilian cab.

Good sheet metal is getting hard to find and the demand too low for limited run repros companies to be interested. Most of the existing survivors have had a very rough life as 4x4 or here in Canada been exposed to salt on the winter roads.

Well I will get back to my CMP....strangely they existed before much salt was used..... and got replaced by modern machines early enough to be relegated to outlying area.... logging camps etc and of course the steel was thicker....... a lot escaped the dreaded salt....

Thanks for your help.
