The front wheels were made up for a B that I repainted so I did a little remodeling to fit the WD-45.
Just myself working on this project, most of the small parts are done. The main frame, side rails and engine are about ready for prime and paint.
Will post more pictures later.

They were not all orange from the factory, unless the dealer stripped ours before he delivered them in 1947, 1952, and 1954.
Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.

Sweet!

Yep, I like seeing how guys deal with splitting and work-support.  Wish my shop had a glassy-smooth floor to roll stuff around (sigh)... that will eventually come, but for now, it's hard-packed lime atop gravel.  At least it's fairly smooth.

Harry- what was your prep/cleaning method for the driveline?  Pressure wash?  Media blasting?  Wire brush?

Dave- I pressure washed to get most of the grease and dirt off than used a wire wheel on the main gear along with help from a needle scaler in the places where the wire cup brush couldn't get into. Before priming I will wash it down with simple green to get the oil off.
All of the other parts that did not have bearings or seals were sand blasted.
