Actually since we switched to the 25 hour clock, I've been getting a lot more done.

I wanted to finish up folding over the edge of the nose last night so I fixed up those pesky bracket holes. It actually took almost 20 minutes. But I did have some bits and bites.

10 minutes? What, are you gonna have a sandwich in the middle? You work faster than that!

I'm sure it doesn't weight too much. It seemed like the best way to hold it, as the foot pads on the hoist are about 10" long, so the supported the pinchweld on the top of the window frame pretty well. I did have to add a little spacer to the passenger side front arm, as that section of the body is higher than the other windows without the cargo door on.

You can see the spacer in this pic.

I'm going to check into that square bumper slot question. The 53 we have here does have rounded corners. It would not be a big deal to weld in a bit and make them rounded.

Try this one I found about 15 years ago

20-013404 at www.barndoor.dk

Also my ex Miesen from January 1951 that Johnny D is restoring did have a blind rear hatch

Both were converted by Miesen a company from Bonn.
