The doors on the left side is sandblasted and the front door was very and many small holes in .I decided to make a new one .All the wood  is new made.All the hinges for the doors has also been repaired and sandblasted.

I have dismantled the cylinder head bolts and the bolts for the exhaust and intake manifold on the engine.

Rear section

I have been working with the rear body.The first step was to cut the bottom wood along the sides to somewhat right shape.The rear body was first sandblasted. The left rear fender is mounted with new panel around and in the wheelhouse.The magneto has been dismantled and also put together again.There is no force in the U-magnets so there is time to reload them again.
