55 Wagon Progress

[MP&C]

Thanks guys!


Some progress, doesn't look like much until you look at the floor...




















Sometimes these louvers can be a challenge to sand.













In the spirit of "everything's a tool", a strip of 18 ga steel and a wrap of PSA paper does a good job of getting in the tight spaces.




















Another shot of the scrap pile before I clean it up, this is what went into fabricating the escutcheons..













And now for the reason we didn't post earlier this week, had to make a speed run for Taco Tuesday.. even saw a full rainbow in the process.

Back in the shop this weekend, but we had a distraction in another Meco torch that showed up for sale not three miles away. So needless to say about the only thing accomplished was more welding practice!!
