Nice job Dion, keep chipping away

[D-Train]

How to go forming up curved pieces with a wood template to beat down the flat side. Seemed to work ok, need to make a proper section for it now.
Also welded in the new sections.

Nice work buddy

I’m not a welder, more of a grinder. but the door is “done”. Repaired the inner structures that had come loose also, one door down. Now onto the next..

[MID WEST DUBBER]

Great to see more progress on this bus

[D-Train]

Got some more done today,
Latch on the valance,



Shouldn’t move again.

Removed bad steel from the door bottom, need a repair section now.



Outer skin is actually pretty good

Started on the heater log, The intake pipes are different sizes, but the main log is the same size so I’ll splice them together and extend the broken section

Good to see you giving this thing some love again

[D-Train]

Got some funky green panels from steve at dasrestoparts.com.au for repair sections.







Profile is a little different in places, drain holes are different, but it’s not a show car so I’m not that bothered. It’s not rusty now!!
