Default Ford Script

The other difference I can see is that all the Cab 12s I have seen have had the Ford script underneath the speedometer as opposed to the brass plate Lloyd has. If you study the image on my previous post you will see the locating holes for the script. Coincidentally, as these scripts seem to be impossible to find, I commissioned a contact to replicate them and I am awaiting the first consignment. Stay tuned.

Bob

Hello Bob
I believe he got them done localy in Gympie. I can't tell you any more than that. You will notice the brass V8 badge on the bonnet in one of photographs. Lloyd had the chrome version from a Model A hood badge from Macs Autos in the States and he had a brass cast made from it in a Gympie foundry to make it original. Very meticulous. He showed me how he spent time shrinking each of the panels back to their original shape after people had stood on the roof and dented them. I wish I had his patience and metalworking skills. Can't wait for the end result.
