Chev & Ford CMP Door Interior

[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

Hi all

Here is another query. I have been led to believe that the radiating line indentations on the inside skin of the doors was different between the two models. The Ford lines radiated from an impressed circle that allegedly was stamped for the possible provision of a window winder mechanism, whilst the Chev lines joined at a point. However whilst perusing the two manuals, MB-C1 (B-2) & MB-F1 (B-4), both diagrams show the "window winder impression."

Please explain.

Bob, may I call you Pauline? (Aussie in-joke)
If you carefully watch your Year of the Blitz video you'll see Brian Gough showing the doors of his HUP prototype with window winders in the centre of the door pattern.
Now for the difference - Canadian Chev and Fords have the same pattern, with a circular indent in the middle. It is only the Australian Chevs which are different - Holden obviously found it was simpler to finish the lines in a point, just as they used a standard die for stamping the cowl ventilators - if you look at contemporary Holden-built vehicles you'll see that same vent. Aussie Ford and Canadian Ford and Chevs use the rhomboidal vent.
There are many other detail differences in Holden built cabs such as the floor, windscreen frames, roof hatches (similar to Canadian production) to name a few. There are also the little handles on the windscreens to close them which are unique to the Holden versions - take a look at a FJ Holden quarter vent.

the Aussie chev engine cover has the round inspection hole on the left side and the Canaidan's have their's on the drivers side.I had aphoto of one I found in Ontario some where, any idea why they put that inspection hole in the engine cover.

Thanks for the answer Max, guess I'll have to watch the brilliant YOTB video again.

You will have to explain "Pauline" to me at Corowa, unless you are referring to the brilliant QLD politician, in which case I can't see the analogy.

Great concept, Bob - we could get some of the Barossa's finest cleanskin and market our own CMP wine - we'll make millions!

Hi Partner

What a team we would make. I've already made up some names and am designing the labels.

By the way what did you think of my suggestions for YOTB 3 & 4.

I need to increase my income so Ada can retire as well instead of keeping me to the style that I'm accustomed to.
