Default Welcome to the CMP insanity.....

Can't restore a CMP truck with out spare parts.....

....grab it quick....... it may not have a hatch..... but it has bargaining power.....now you can trade parts for what you may need.....

Worst come to worst you can have a good running CMP for the Summer...something to show around..... your visibility may attact other CMP owners who needs spare parts from your parts truck..... or may notice that you need a hatch to finish your project..... when you are showing off your truck.... hang a sign..... "Hatch Wanted"......

...and shows us some pictures.....

wow, what luck, the wood pieces for the interior cushions are still there and in good shape-they are good enough to be re-used themselves, and certainly good for repro, and I found the four pieces for the wood spacer on top which are in good shape to use as models to repro plus the exterior bars are there and the little sheet metal corner tabs!

lid and frames interior and exterior are straight- pix to come via email.
