Pictorial Update !

I've installed most of the hardware, still have to do some more work there, but there's enough done for an update. The legbolts are polished and the legs installed. Lockdown bar assembly is finally installed as well.

I had to remove the siderails - they needed to be regrained (windex and 360 wet / dry), and the nails were just rusted and looked poor. I've only done one side, as this needs to be a job that is done carefully. Here is some pictures of the side I finished tonight ;






Repairs to the body

Only part that needed repair was the assembly in between the head and body. This was broken. I removed the nails and simply sanded the wood clean, made sure it was still square and glued / screwed and nailed the four pieces into place;








The inside of the cab is finally coming together.





Hey - where did the spider go ?








The Door - NIICE !
