The battery box project is moving along nicely.

I got some stamping died made to replicate the burned in text on the boxes. They worked perfectly.

The boxes are also done. I couldn’t be happier with how this project is turning out.

Wow, those burned in markings look great. Could you post a photo or two of the stamps please ?

Jordan,

Those boxes turned out awesome...... and the truck of course!
I think you did very good for a first (long) drive. Bringing some spare parts usually means nothing breaks.......like when you bring an umbrella....than it doesn't rain!

Finally got some time to work on fixing my 1887 Singer 29 UFA and finish a sewing project for the truck.

The original is on the left and my new made one is on the right. I’m quite pleased with it and just need to source a snap for it.

Working away on the special straps for the canvas covers. These go on the two large bins in the back of the truck.

top notch work Jordan.....enjoying this thread very much!

Did you use original webbing straps as a basis for the conversion? I have also purchased a bunch of webbing with nice stamps to use for my C8 tarp when I finally get to it.
