    The above has improved access to paint the inside and sort out some corruption.

    Flush welded in plates will be fitted and this time with straight flanges for the tool box to sit on.

    Below is the radiator header tank , now sand blasted and ready for red oxide.

    You blokes posting and throwing in your advice or thanks means a lot to me .( a lot of people have stopped by to see the Stalwart or if lucky to get a ride in it and I have been happy to show the vehicle to them.)
    I have been plugging away on this thing for 7 years now and I have almost thrown in the towel a few times.
    Having a band of supporters helps give me the drive to go on.
    I was never planning to do so much work on this thing as I knew I didn't have a lot of time or resources, or was this thread planned in any way.( at time of this posting over 130 thousand views and 100 pages in the thread)
    With out having this thread I don't think I could have come this far.
    There is still much to do with corrosion and the mechanical side of things with inter wheel drive disconnect clutches.
    101 Ron ……….thanks , thanks...….. AULRO

    Now I have to start back working on the big silly thing so you guys will have something to read in a few weeks.

    Keep at it Ron....just because I am not providing replies, does not mean I am not looking at your thread. I log in first thing every Monday morning hoping for an update from you.

    It is great to see it being restored.

    Been saving up to buy sheet of metal and finally got it this week end.
    Been self learning how to set up a pan brake...( something I know nothing about.)
    I got the bend I wanted and had to trim the patch down to size.
    Using Gal plated steel.....harder to weld, but more resistant to rust.
    Its been blowing 30 knots for the last few days stopping me from using the MIG welder so I have only been able to tack things in place.
    I decided to bolt the tool box on top so when I do weld the patch in correctly any heat expansion and misalignment of the bolt holes will be the same to both tool box and the lower LHS quarter.
    I added some smaller 1/4 auxiliary bolts to help pull the box on to the quarter panel.
    I should be able to seal everything up with silastic when finished instead of a 1/2 inch gap.
    The tool box like the top of the muffler box on the opposite side of the rear of the machine will need to come off again to fit the side and rear door seals.
