Default Scratched plastic..

Rob..
Use some of this polish on those windows..clean 'em up like new..I used to use it on my MC Helmet visor..I assume the windows are Plexiglas..If you are not sure of the material take a window into the plastic shop and get the right polish for it..They should clean up well..

Hi Alex, How are you faring? The windows on the 45 are all glass. The scratches on the HUP Opera window are not readily seen at ground level but you sure can see the scratches when you are in the HUP looking out. Nonetheless, she is looking more and more complete.

By the way, are you getting itchy for a Gracies Call??

Hi Robb
I believe that polish will also work on glass..clean them up a bit get that haze off them anyway...worth an hours work with a buffing wheel..
Gracies..??
Anytime..make the call and I'll book the joint..
It's been a long time ...and spring is coming..gotta have a gather up soon..
maybe talk Wild Willy up from the depths...
Not a weekend..make it a week night..Friday nights work for me..

Default Boxing Day at the Barn

As mentioned, I had some metal bent up for my HUP one gal POW can holders. Using the original example as our guide, Bob and I welded up the POW can holders on Sunday. The original was spot welded along the seams but since we don't have that capability, we drilled small holes and filled them in with weld. These were then ground down. The end product looked the part - we will weld on the hinges at a later date.

How about a two-day roadtrip with an overnight in the middle? Some people in smaller countries don't realize Windsor to Ottawa is still in one province, but darn near a full day's drive apart.

Maybe we should plan a field trip to the CWM or Vimy House to make it worthwhile. I know Boob will be happy to regale you with tall tales and low-brow humour, but he's not the only game in town!
