Peter,
Wonderfull work! I think in the automotive industry mating the body to the chassis and running gear is known as the "marriage".  Keep up the good work. Alex

Over the hump!
Congrats Peter! You are now over the hump and once you get the engine back in, then the fun starts! Keep up the great work! Cheers!

Going well Peter, Almost a pity that you have to remove it again to fit the engine etc.
Did you find the IHC stamp? This photo shows the International Harvester built Lynx Mk.I hulls being married to the Ford chassis. They are very complete before fitting to the chassis. e000760756.jpg Regards Rick.

Thanks
Rick, Richard and Alex,
Thanks for your positive comments. Rick, no luck with the International Harvester stamp, in front of the drivers vision port, on the horizontal glacis plate. I did find a second stamp of the hull number 4225, and what appears to be the remnants of an arrow. With regards to removing the hull again, I'm hoping that with the transmission, transfer case, shifter linkage and drive train already in place, that I can mount the engine with the hull in place. The gas lines may pose a bit of a challenge. Time will tell the tale. Lots of work remains, but it is one enjoyable journey. Peter

Peter. Congratulations on your progress. Whenever I check the forum for new posts/threads, your restoration thread is the one that I check first. I was thrilled to see your most recent pics....awesome. Very much look forward to seeing your Lynx in person some day. Keep up the great work!
Cheers, Terry.

Great work and we want video of first drive
Hi Peter
Have enjoyed watching your progesterone and the quality of your work. Hope you have a video around the first time the beastie moves under its own power for the first time and again when it is all finished and you drive it. If possible have someone else shoot the video so that we can see the big grin on your face. Cheers Phil

Slow, but ...
Latest,
Got lost on the way to the firewall and ended up working on the drivers controls. Installed a new toe plate, the original was only good for a template. Takes a bit longer bit longer but its nice to be adding parts. Cleaned up the nose armour and with some luck it will be off for sandblasting and epoxy priming tomorrow. 2015-02-20 19.58.42 (2).jpg 2015-10-07 15.46.14.jpg 2015-10-10 08.51.19.jpg
