How To: C15a Wire-3 restoration

[Jordan Baker]

I have also finaly started in on the restoration of the roof. This one has suffered from the normal rust/rot areas along the rear lower bead, window frame and above the door frame/rain gutter areas. There was also substantial rusting along the front main frame piece. However the actual roof sheet metal was in pretty good shape. It just has a few holes that will need filling and one small spot that will need a patch.

So far I have just begun removing the bad areas. The previous owner had cut out the rear window and replace it with a solid panel. This will be getting an entier new panel put in with the upper and lower bead applied.

Lastly I have begun to modify a 6' long 2"x2" 1/8" thick angle iron piece for the front support. The original on mine was flat plate bent in a brake. By the time I am done my new piece will look the same.
