Also put a bit of top coat on some other bits. Dont it feel great to get some bits looking this terrific.
Couldnt wait to bolt everything down so I built a fragile castle and pretended. Yes there may have been some flat head and crash gear change noises made as well.

Hatch
Started on the roof hatch. Removing remanants of latch. Drilling out domed slotted head bolts that refused to budge. By a miracle a roof in far worse condition than this one yeilded a pretty good latch and the bolts came out intact as well.

Nice work Tony! Good to see you looking so happy too.
Those latches are hard to find intact aren't they.

Another bit done..
It never ceases to amaze me how these bits, after some effort, return to almost "as new" condition.
They are neglected and abused from the day they are manufactured and can still look like this after 70 years. We are extremely lucky to have the right sort of climate that lends itself to preservation I suppose. Roof finally done as well as the back of the Cab.

Tony, that roof is as good as any I've seen. Looks gun barrel straight.
I have worked with trade qualified panelbeaters whose finish wasn't that meticulous. Seriously! I know what you mean about preserving the spot weld detail. Not easy when there's damage next to (or on top of) factory welding.
