    After a bit of a setback, not being able to work on Easter Thursday or Friday. I managed to get into the rear chassis on Saturday Sunday and Monday. Plated the top in front of the rear wheels, I had a pig of a time with the mig again, but a neighbour came to the rescue with a better rig, then red oxided it and painted. Also got the new front dumb irons on, the front bar is at a mates shop being straightened. Hopefully I’ll get it back tomorrow so I can fit internal crush tubes, cap the fronts and paint it.

    Hello All

    I had a red hot go at the front end last weekend and finished it off. I had my mate at the sheet metal shop straighten the bumper bar for me
    and refitted it as well. And I got the rear of the cab sorted as well. I fitted the lower door gaskets, but then had all sorts of trouble trying to
    close the doors. Looking from the back of the car, you can see where the rear lower cab section bends in slightly where it meets the doors.
    I assume it's just from 58 years of people closing the doors and leaning on them as it got worse over the years. I got hold of a small acrow
    prop on Monday and took the roof and rear panel off, loosened off the bolts that hold that strengthening section to the rear lower cab panel
    and tried to bend it back out. I left it overnight, but when I took it off the next day it just sprung back to it's previous position. With the prop
    in, the doors did close quite well. I am wondering if I need to over stretch it further so it doesnt spring back as far? Thoughts please.
    Regards Ian

    1. Looks like the capping is different because it is a cut-off tub not a lower cab made for a trayback as is Paul's.

    2. The grille from memory was fitted to sixes.

    No the grille is what came with it. Same as Ralphs grille. Think it was a 6cyl grille.

    Looks like mine has been cut off at
    the rear. Strange?
