Sunday was much better. We all got up and went to church then after lunch I got to the shop and worked on the core support modifications. I have the top cover about 90% complete before body work and paint. I can finish that up in about an hour of time. It is removable to service the radiator.
It is made in three pieces that I welded together, it will be held in place with 4 machine screws in the front and 2 in the back of the radiator. I will probably use a chrome button head machine screw for it...
Here are some other views...
For the back side, I will make a panel that will hide the wiring and lights and cover the sides of the radiator tanks. I will have to make those after I get the lights and buckets installed.
From the front, we cut out the center of the core support and added panels on each side of the radiator to force air thru the core. I have one more lower filler panel to make and finish the welding before doing the body work on paint. I think it will turn out real nice when I get it done.
While I was working on the core support, Korbin was out blasting the bed sides. Turns out the nozzle was to small for the grit of sand we changed to. I went with a #4 sand to be a little more aggressive to get the paint off quicker. He got started late and ran out of day light to get them done, but he made progress.
That's all for the weekend work....
