Popular Post Willie dog Posted February 28, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2016 Started putting the new rear skirt on the tanker body. It's a little rough to start with. It still needs a lot of dressing and finishing. It's not easy making a flat sheet of metal curve like you want it to without a roller. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-42 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) That explains why we haven't seen any progress reports for awhile...you were getting a little behind in your work. TANKS for the update. (Yes, that was intentional......sorry). Edited March 3, 2016 by B-42 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxfymn Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Where are you located in VA? Steelman runs a steel fabrication shop in Fredericksburg that would make pretty short work of either fabricating a replacement panel or repairing the existing panel.

Willie dog Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Here's where I am so far. It's much better than the panel that was on there. Full of rust holes covered by filler and fiberglass. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie dog Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 I still have some massaging to do along the bottom edge. I rolled it by hammer and dollie around the framework I made. The panels on the far left and right sides are made from a roof section from a '57 Chevy pick-up. They had the perfect curvature and fit the original panel perfectly. Then it was just a matter of cutting away the rotten panels and installing the metal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
