Fat body on today...
starting to look like a narly FAT. Tony did a quick canvas strip around the cab and body just to keep us semi weather proof. Missing a couple of Lee Enfield rifle clips mounted inside the Fat body on top of the cupboard marked NO. 2... Slightly larger clips than the No 1 clip, has this difference in clip size been talked about on this forum??? Tony does all of the work... Cheers Rob

Thanks Keith...a nice fall day in Manitoba
Down at my pond this afternoon. The FAT is up and running nicely, just fitted the canvas top body piece. Still have a lot of questions concerning the back canvas bag that held the camo net. Looking for 2 1/8 inch footman loops? Cheers Rob

Looking good!
Hi Rob,
You and Tony must be ready for a winter holiday after all that grass cutting and restoration work this summer! What's next on the restoration list? Maybe a 3 ton cargo? Are you finished at the golf course for the season? Come on by and I'll buy breakfast! Regards,Derk.

Hello Dirk...
Yes, we are kinda done at the course for the season. Perfect golf weather, I have never pumped that much water, drought and hot. We are still broke.
Still have all the wiring to do on the FAT and then we are rolling the 17 PDR. into the shop. All gummed up, our first job there is freeing up the elevation/traverse gears etc... The only restoration that might interest me is a Ford Lynx or the F-60B in Auburn...Bofors SP... It looks like it might be pretty incomplete though. Maybe I'll start chasing the ladies again, it might be cheaper. Cheers Rob
