NZ LP2 project

[David Ellery]

Hi there, Recently I was given the remains of the front end of a LP 2 carrier, unfortunately it didn't have the vision slot plates I was after, but it did have the glasial plate and enough hull side steel to fabricate the parts wanted. After alot of gas axing and tiding up with files and grinder, the plates are tacked and ready to stitch weld together. I'm wrapped with the front guards, they only took 4 hours to make and the weldings improving with each part I make, sought of . The steering has taken a bit of time to get right , unfortunately the cross shaft which the centre bogies hang of is badly pitted with rust on the drivers side where it makes contact with the roller, so when doing a right hand turn the brakes come on real quick which makes for instant turning, looks cool in the right places, but watch out parked cars
Cheers David...
