Turn Signals
"This right hand drive CGT will be a driver so signals will be an absolute must"
Turn Signals? We don't need no stinkin turn signals. I've used the swerve and scare method for the 13000 kms I've driven mine so far. It works well. Just swerve a little over to the lane you want to go too, bring it back the other way but then go back around towards that lane. Even semi's will give you the room if you look like you are going to crash. Those other cars are supposed to have brakes and the drivers should be paying attention anyways. Coming to the Christmas party?

I got my signals crossed
Harry
I was only improving on the old wig wag signals, didn't think any one would get upset? I promise I won't use them when I'm convoying with you! PS Bruce and I are going to the Christmas party, an over-nighter too at CMEC. Just 2,wives are staying behind.

Focussing on rear body got a real CGT bottom half to start with, a bit of a challenge..... Walde

Another Update CGT rear body
Took lots of pics and measurements from a complete CGT body in Newtonville, Ontario from the Elliot brothers collection several years ago. I printed and plastered them on the garage wall for reference. Piece by piece slowly reverse engineered the whole body. Some of the tell tails were old welds that still remained in the original deck. This info was a confirmation I was headed in the right direction.

Rear CGT doors
Just a couple shots of CGT rear body door build. Luckily I had both left and right "original too far gone" samples to work with. Satin coat 18 gauge is fairly easy to work with. Patience was the biggest challenge, it was at easier to get less picky at times when you want to see some true progress. Learned to move on to other simple sub-components whan I got frustrated. Made rear door hinges from front door Latches were the same source.
Lots of pics and measurements for the next restorer who wants to tackle a CGT rear body. Walde

Looks to me as if you are making the doors more complicated then they realy are . They are not made like the factory build front doors , only lock and side screen brackets are the same .
I can make pictures of my orriginal doors in my CGT (Ex portugal) if you want .
