Yes, I've been following your Humber project on the HMVF .

If you are interested: instead of building the complicated HU coach-built framed body, you could fabricate a simpler PU type body. I have accurate plans/drawings for the PU body, measured from my original PU Morris body, the basic layout would be the same but the mounting hardware would be different for a Humber. These tubs were fitted to Morris-Commercial, Humber, Ford and the CMP C8. The metal parts are flat, no complicated curves , and a simple wooden floor and tailgate.
