[MP&C]

More progress on the wagon today. Kyle had finished the media blasting on the hood brace, so we had a few areas to address. As the hood ornament no longer exists, we didn't need the mounting holes going through the brace.





A piece of brass flat bar is radius-ed to make an anvil..





High spot is heated and tapped down with the hammer.. Then pick the next high spot and repeat....











Slot is welded closed, welds dressed, area media blasted once again...











Kyle working on prepping the passenger door for primer... Sorry for the blurry picture, gonna have to fire the photographer!





The hood ornament hole in the cross brace was also welded closed and dressed...











Next on the list were the stress cracks on the ends of the hood brace.








Some 16 gauge CRS was used to make some stiffeners inside the corners...

Plug welded in place and the flanges wrapped around... cracks repaired...
