Our LRDG Chev

[Andrew H.]

Yesterday we had a go at attaching the main rear panel between the two corner panels. First we ran the panel through the English wheel to put a slight curve on it. This acts like a swage by preventing the sheet-metal from bending in and out after it is attached. Then we butt-welded the main panel to the two corner panels and ground the welds off. Finally we gave it six coats of paint, including a final coat of matt finish. We are quite pleased with the result.

Hello

After congratulations for the wonder job done by ANDREW , I have to note that there is an other CHEVROLET WB rebuilded in FRANCE.
These last was build after some travel from FRANCE to IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM and I had soon make a description of the truck.
So one more to add.
Best regards Serge

Great work Serge!
It looks very nice and authentic. One day we may do an LRDG Chev WA or WB, although we have nothing planned at present.

Hello ANDREW

The truck I displayed is not my truck and I am not the owner neither the restorer. It has been build using parts from two civilian CHEVROLET with large modification to reach what you see. The civilian fenders had been enlarged and the wheels completely rebuild. The owner living in FRANCE had make some travels in the IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM in the aim to take mesurement on the original truck displayed.

Best regards Serge
