The back door that I gave a new skin is fitted now and needed some adjusting to fit nicely. In the back rightside there is or has to be a panel with louvers to vent the generator compartment so I started to make the one for the back. this took so time to get it right to fit and look good.
this metal shaping is time consumming and hard work and get you drinking b.. ugh.
cheers jaap

Jaap..
You are doing too good of a job..!!
Remember that all these bodies were assembled by hastily trained wartime labour..in Canada..
and some small imperfections were obviously over looked in the manufacture of these bodies..
So after it is all nicely finished and painted..beat on the side of it with the wheel wrench..so you can say...."Now it is right..Just like Canadians..Great but not perfect..!!"
Nice job..I am enjoying the thread..
