Hi Phil,

Bob is putting together his doors for his Cab 11. I am not sure what Grant is up to. I am starting work on the Protoype HUP. The rear doors are in poor condition with the bottom sills and horizontal surfaces being extremely rusty. So I will be watching Bob and learning from his cutting and bending experiences.

Next step for me is to remove the roof from the Prototype and to weld it into a jig. Unlike my 45 HUP, the Prototype's roof can be salvaged. There will be a lot of cutting and welding to do along the drip edges and other rusted out places, but we now have all the necessary tools to do most of the body work - as long as it is 16 ga or thinner metal...

There is no shortage of things to do in Hammond. You can see our progress if you happen to stop in for BBB.
