55 Wagon Progress

[MP&C]

Next on the list for the wagon, the upper gate. It has a similar stance as the lower gate when closed, and as such, water lays along the inner window frame at the bottom.








Ice pick test....





The lower bend is fairly flat, going to a tipped flange in the form of an arc, the inside has some compound curves going to the window opening flange...














I'll get this bottom cut out next week and attempt to form it in one piece, flange to flange, for a easier job of replacing..
