Another step
Guys,
My fabricator, Andy, was able to faithfully replicate the bullet splash shield surrounds, forge a set of hinges and mount the cast fuel filler covers. I'm biased, but it certainly looks good. Thanks to MLU members from Australia, Canada, England and New Zealand I now think I have enough information to create the drawings to fabricate the front storage bin. Just to double check everything I've decided to assemble a wooden version to test the dimensions and fit. Don't want to get ahead of myself, but I'm getting closer to paint.

Small stuff
Guys,
More small stuff. I suppose this entire restoration consists of a series of small steps. Had the new document holder and WS 19 spare parts holder welded in place. Slowly filling up. Peter IMG_1138.jpg IMG_1137.jpg

Outstanding Peter.
When I first got into MV restoration I knew very little. Over the course of time I picked up the skills, as have you. I remember Dad telling me not to look at the project as one big piece- that in itself would be overwhelming. Rather, as he suggested, look at it as a whole bunch of smaller pieces. Envision each as its own sub assembly, each a project of its own. Take bite size pieces. Before you knew it I have a baffed out 12 cab Ford CMP fully restored and running. 21 months.

Looks great. The saying I use is “One rusty bolt at a time”

Mock up
Guys,
Mocked up the new front storage bin that Andy fabricated. More work to do on the lids and it's extensions, but definitely looks the part. Changes the appearance quite a bit. Peter IMG_1147.jpg IMG_1148.jpg

Pete, that looks real nice and it's great you have someone who can do that quality fabrication.

Talent
Barry,
I don't have the skills for fabrication, but I do seem to have a talent for finding proud, talented and enthusiastic people such as Andy Pomorski. The front storage bin looks great, now to remove it and have it blasted and primed. Peter IMG_1155.jpg IMG_1156.jpg IMG_1158.jpg
