Cab finally done
A couple pics, before and after. A couple things to do, winch cover and heater install.
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 .

Need Help CGT roof vents cab 13
Guys
I lost my measurments for the two roof air vents, their location and the location and size of the 2 holes for canvas top straps.Just rough demensions would work.Rush please! I can't paint the body without these bits in place. PS I made my rear doors from originals, so if they seem different its because probably more than one CGT body builder used, Gotfredfson (I think I spelled it wrong) and someone else. My samples were disassembled and copied.Would love to see pics of your doors! Walde Last edited by Walde Libera; 25-04-09 at 06:52. Reason: spelling
