Kevin Purcell’s Toys

[hrpearce]

Progress has been slow lately as the weed spraying has taken up most of Kevin's time. I managed to get off work today with time to take some photos of what has been achieved in the last fiew months.

It will be a while before any more progress is made as Kevin is cleaning up and packing getting ready to move closer to town. He needs to build a new shed at the new house and move everything before any more restoring takes place.

talking about Studebaker REO cabs , were would it be possible to get the rubber seal for the rear cab window ?

Kevin's toys will be moving to this location.

I finally got to Kevin's new shed with a camera. The list of toys is expanding.

Excellent Robert, that yellow FWD is ex. Glen Stones. I had a bit to do with it's restoration. It is a first class restoration. The engine side panels came of my FWD and I managed to eventually find some more for mine. For the timber body Glen used the metal brackets of a wooden Studebaker tray and had to widen it 8 inches to make it correct for the FWD. It is a really to job. Glad it has gone to a good home and not overseas.

Regards Rick.

Did he shorten it as well Rick? I got a wooden Stude body from Col Jones for all the metal work for my Diamond T. It was missing a tailgate but I got a timber body from John Belfield off a Mack which was very delapidated but had the tailgate and some other bits. Enough between the two to resurrect one good timber body. The Dt body is about 8 inches wider and a foot shorter than the Stude. Now got find some suitable timber.
