58 mingo mango

[braddick]

When I bought the bus it had a couple of inches of dirt,pine needles,broken glass etc in the rear floor area and with holes in the roof and been outside I full expected the rear floor to be rooted
To my amazement when I got it home and cleaned it up there's a chance this floor could be saveable. Will know more when I get it on the rotessrie and it gets a light blast underneath

[Leroy]

WOW! Thats super clean! Thanks for the pics

[braddick]

Thought I'd better post up what I've been upto

Brad, I'm impressed with the heater, did you make that?

[braddick]

Yep thanks Ian
Just your standard truck brake drum wood heater, pain in the arse to cut and weld but great for using a heater
Looking forward to spending some time next to it

[braddick]

Been busy in the shed this week for couple of hours each night enjoying the warmth of the wood heater
Making the rotessrie / roll over jig for the bus
After taking a embarrassing amount of time to remove the shift rod tube to then be able to drop the beam out I was able to complete the front roll over jig

[braddick]

Making this jig was made a lot easier from having my mates to copy and measure off
Just need to finish of the rear one off hopefully this week
