Don't know. You would have to ask somebody like Danny Stanton.

Both rear body side panels have been largely formed up. I will leave the trimming of the top corners till later, and the same with the bottom rear corners.

Still waiting on parts to be sandblasted and new timber for the rear so in the meantime I will dress up some timber for the front windscreen top section of the cabin hood. This is a crappy job that requires a lot of carving and fitting and carving and fitting to get the two pieces to fit the top of the windscreen just right. I have the remains of the original as a pattern but it is badly weathered and warped out of original shape but it is a clue.

I got one side pretty close and sitting neat on the top of the windscreen frame. Once I finish the other side I can work on joining them in the middle.

One of these makes for easy carving.

Wow... that’s cool. Hadn’t seen one of those before.

Your progress is coming along nicely Jack. I enjoy watching you work your magic.

Hello Jack,

Is that disk called an "arbotech" or something like that?

Kind regards
