rampant rivet Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) Back down t'shed again while the petrol tanks are drying ready to be sealed I had a go at sorting the lower side panels on the rear body fitted the rubbing strakes as well and made a new edge strip to the bottom edge of the rear tailgate.

rampant rivet Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 A day spent in the shed tucked out of the way of some nasty weather ! Both wheel boxes complete apart from making the steel liners plus paint. Wheel arch cut out on near side panel plus edge capping fitted. Also timber rubbing strips trial fitted ready for steel capping, next the off side arch to finish then lots of fiddling and paint before I start on fitting hinges and top side panels.

rampant rivet Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 Not much happening on the MW lately did a bit of painting to the rear wheel arch boxes last Sat then went to the classic car show at the NEC on Sunday which was a good if long day out, managed to pic up a NOS horn for the jeep and a NOS switch for my spare starter motor for the Bedford which I'll rebuild over the winter. Managed to squeeze in a couple of hours on the bonnet-bulkhead timber tinwork today but it was brrrrr in't shed The problem I have is that I am not absolutely sure on the details of this early type of bonnet support. I only have some grainy pics of which to work from. But this is roughly how its gonna look :wow: Bit more fettling before I'm happy but its off to Malvern tomo, who knows what goodies will lighten my pocket :cool2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampant rivet Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Help needed please guys, I need to make a pair of aeroscreens for the Bedford so if anyone can supply me with some nice detailed photos plus measurements I would be most grateful, this is one of the last things missing for the truck and I want to make them over the xmas hols, a sort of present to myself so to speak :-D seriously folks any info much appreciated. Thanks J. Did some more fettling of the bulkhead tinwork today Have started on the wings as I want to get the front end finished before xmas hopefully :-D Edited November 29, 2015 by rampant rivet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rampant rivet Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Nuther day hiding out in't shed had to fix the welder first thing :shocked: then spent the rest of the day fettling the front wings, they are nearly ready for paint, then it was time to fit the rear fitting for the bonnet hinge bar. Also fitted the side timbers to the bulkhead but have not cut them to length yet. Edited December 12, 2015 by rampant rivet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampant rivet Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 Friday afternoons lesson was DO NOT !!! rush a job and end up attacking the ends of your fingers with a power plane !!! coz it stings a bit :cry: at least I had the dust bag attached to catch the grisly bits :wow:, so todays activities down t'shed were a tad subdued but I did manage to set out and fix some of the cab fittings.
