How To: C15a Wire-3 restoration

[Jordan Baker]

Well it's been a busy day of in and out of the shop. Loaded up the wireless table and the three top bows and dropped them off at the sandblasters. Right after leaving the sandblasters my phone rings. It's the sheet metal shop and they have my wire-3 box sides and main channels all ready for pickup. So drive over to get that stuff. While. At that shop the sandblaster phones to say my stuff is ready for pickup. Not bad for a Sunday afternoon. He had them done and ready in under an hour.

As for the side panels I had the shop press break the main 4" channels. These run along the top edge of all three sides. They weren't able to press brake in one piece like the originals. This just means I'll have a whack of welding to do carefully to avoid as much warpage as possible.
