Re: 1941 1/2 ton project Hannah

I have been prejudiced against black cats since my old neighbors cat would camp out on our porch and take meaningful swipes at us just trying to leave the house. he was a real butthole. but mabel (maybee) is just the nicest cat I have ever seen, serious claws but never uses them on us, ever, she is gentle and sweet. morris is a big ol tank, definitely maine coon in him.

enough about the cats. when I got the hood for this truck it was in two pieces, the wind had bent it and ripped it loose. I straightened it out and welded the hinge back on the ripped side, but I just could not get it to fit right.

but I have a deep bench, and spares to spare. this one almost fell on, once I got the hinges and latches all lubed up.

I will paint the smooth parts and sand it back. it will look right.

I did the passenger door today too, the inside handle rod was in the bottom of the door and rusty, it broke the first time I used it. but the latch took grease and did not require a rebuild so potato potatto.

I had to grab a window from the farm team, I was planning to leave the cracked one but there was a piece missing.

I mentioned it before in another thread but the days of me grunting big stuff around with the (lack of) help from the fairer sex are over and done with. I bring this home in a week!

its a smooth tire so just driveway use right now, but I will put down a packed limestone path to the back forty (yards) and that will allow me almost unlimited mischief! if my brother in law is reading, thanks again!
