Truck based woody

I had a drill bit that was just a bit bigger than the original hinge pins. I used this on the worn hinges. Then I had to find a pin that fit... I found that some #2 phillips screwdrivers were a nice snug fit. On the driver's side I cut a #2 off and made two pins with washers for heads. When I got to the pass side I just couldn't cut my good crafstman off so I'm using it whole until I get around to finding another. In the meantime that pin's a lot easier to get in and out as I remove doors for latches and soon varnishing etc. You had to ask...

I'm back at it pretty hard these days. I will be gone the next 4 days so I lose a weekend of woodie progress, but tomorrow I'll be shrimping with a buddy for those nice big spot prawns up near the canadian border, then on a road trip with the misses. Whenever I'm not doing the woodwork in the shop for customers, I'm kneeling on the concrete working on the wagon. This week it's been springs, kingpins steering stuff and welding in some lower cowl patches made from a radiator shroud I didn't need, so a break is a rare treat. Here's some of each type of work.

Been getting an hour in after work most days. Still, any progress is better than none at all. The warmer weather is helping my morale, and the use of nos and nors parts means the parts are fitting together with great satisfaction.
