Re: 55 Wagon Progress

Moving on to the next task, removing the "cage nut" from the old piece...





This was a good opportunity to demonstrate using the cutoff wheel for removing spot welds...

Here's the cage removed, the spot weld removal method leaves it nice and intact for getting good measurements for the new one...








A fresh piece of 18ga and some red Dykem, and our new cage is underway....











Slots....














All ready for some media blasting and epoxy paint...
