An Introduction: Chris Collins and Morris Tilly Project

Two rooves patched and given a coat of fishoil and once that has dried they will be primed and painted.

Pictured is once of the several rear bumpers Chris had to choose from. A somewhat failed attempt at providing a tow bar. Hopefully my design will provide a little more resistance.

Chris had sorted the best of the front and rear tow bars and supporting brackets. A little straightening and they are ready for sandblasting.

I looked at the rear inner guard boxes as they will be ready for use soon. These had been blasted and primed but on closer inspection there is a few too many areas that will need patching and a lot of shape to put back in. I think new ones are in order. I will take the box from this rusty old side and disassemble it as a pattern.

I completed another patch to go in the chasis where the battery had rusted a hole in the firewall. I cut out the damaged section and formed up a patch. It needs a curved rib formed in the centre so first I did two folds. I don't have a folder but I find you can do a lot with angle iron and G clamps.

Looking good Jack, one thing if you need to fold something up call pass you can use my folder .

I needed a way of pressing in the curve and co-incidentally this arrived today. A small folding tool. Just the right size to put a piece of round bar in the V section. Just had to move it along and press it slowly. Once that was done I dressed the edges with a bolster and hammer.

Folded the edges and then recessed the ends to slip under and level with the existing panel.
