Grfishmaker's '47 rebuild
grfishmaker:
Once inside and welded, I closed up the tail section and attached the front piece. Orin was right, it sure make cleaning up the wires and checking the front boggies while the wood is off. Installed the windshield, cargo door and front doors.

Instead of reskinning the banged up rad door, I simpley bolted on a piece of checkerplate over the old.

OT
The hinges may look a bit light but they are very adequate. I see Ted and some others put another one about 2 inches below the top one so you have two at the top, for added strength. I made my washers by putting a bolt in a vise in the drill press and drilling 2 holes. Then I cut washers off as I need them but I suggest getting them from Dan and save the hassle. Same goes for the hinges, they look easy to make but you need to make a gig so get them from DAN and they are perfectly formed and the correct length so they do not bind.
the old trucker:
Cranman what Dan has is what I am thinking about putting back on mine. I think the ones that Mike has are what are in these pics.
