Not much done today. House and family time with Nicola.
Martin called this morning early to tell me I had the Panhard rod wrong and needed to get my nuts wrenched again.
Aaaarrgghhh...!!
Rather now than later.
So, what did I do wrong? When I fitted it, I looked at some pics on other build threads and did what I saw. So the adjustment end was fitted to the stud on the pumpkin. And the fixed end into the chassis end bracket. Of course to adjust it all, you need to be able to drop the adjustment end and twist it in or out to make longer or shorter, so if it were fixed to the pumpkin you could not do that, but as a drop down, easy.
This is what I did yesterday and corrected today.
The rust converter I painted last night on the chassis etc had not completely dried, so I could not paint the chassis and axle today, which meant little done.
I did manage to get the toolbox its first coat of enamel paint, and broke the one hinge on the lid. Hopefully that will not be a problem in the long run, but I may still find a small hinge to fit to it with some small nuts n bolts before fitting it under the truck.
Final color will be white inside and black outside.
Not a a lot done this weekend, but rain and cold tends to slow stuff down a bit.
Snow forecast for Thursday and Friday.
