Conger Carrier restoration, Overloon The Netherlands

[Alex van de Wetering]

Last weekend was an important one for the Conger project. The Conger was moved from the exhibition area in the museum to the workshop again. Actually the carrier spent almost two years in the exhibiton area. During that period no serious work could be done on the carrier. In stead all of the parts that needed to be reproduced, were built separately.
Nothing too serious, but I have to say that I was very nervous for the actual fitting of the Dog's house in the carrier. Yes, I did do some proper measurements before drawing every part in a CAD program, but.....you never know...and because the thing was made from 8mm steel plates. I was very afraid that the guys had to cut material to make it fit. In the end everyhting went find and the project starts to look like a Conger carrier again!

I hope you like seeing these progress shots as much as I do.
