Ford Boys Carrier....we're Verklempt
Verklempt.....where do we start this thread? In Restorations or in Carriers.
You have not heard from us Windsorites in quite some time. This does not mean we have been sitting on our arses. After the Southern Ontario Military Muster this past summer we have been beavering away at another project. We bought two carriers last December, a Mk1 and a MkII. We finally convinced someone to ship them from Toronto to Windsor free of charge...but that is another story. Anyway, we got the carriers delivered 29 September 2010. Immediately following delivery I was called away on family business for the month of October. Geoff and Jason Henry (proud owner of a rusty M43) got to work stripping the Mk1. I arrived back in early Nov just in time to pick up the hull from sandblasting. Here are a few pics of our progress to date.

Not only did their eyes behold rust, but also a variety of leaves and twigs...

That "horny devil" in your last picture sure looks like it needs a feed.
