Default Rolling Chassis.

Another couple of pictures of our Humber a magnificent beast even if i say so myself.

Tyres arrived from USA last week, chassis is now able to be moved. Two years of restoration and i have nearly completed the chassis; only need to install the L/H fuel tank.

The cab is almost ready for its top coat so wont be much longer before i will be able to fit it to the chassis.

Our trusty hound "Maggie" watching over it.

Dave.

G'day Dave, Looking really good. You can do mine when you finish yours. I have plenty of rust in the right hand lower sill and around the roof. The rest is not too bad.

One question, Why have you painted the central wheel nuts red? The outer ones are painted red as a warning not to undo them whilst there is air in the tube to prevent the operator being injured. The wheel nuts are painted either green or in some cases white.

Regards Rick.
