…… ..today when the weather was nice I met some friends at a car exhibition …………… ..do not worry, the coffin is empty and just show

.
That casket hanging out the back of a hearse is definitely an eye catcher at a car show...

Had a good friend of mine who had a painting company. It was him and a helper and his work vehicle was a hearse. It was a nice way to get all his stuff from job to job under cover. The unexpected benefit was that the crackheads weren't too interested in stealing his paint guns and ladders!

…… ..today I changed the filter on the automatic transmission. The th400 has been refurbished in the states.
It hasn't run that many miles yet, but I thought changing the filter for the first time wouldn't be a bad thing.

…… over time, the canvas between the petrol can and the body has rubbed off …… simple problems are fought with simple solutions……..

 

[german m1008]

…… ..the sewing machine was unpacked anyway …… ..I had planned to sew my own seat covers for a long time, so I started.

... I still have to attach fasteners……
Without a template for the seat covers and without much knowledge of how to use a sewing machine, it will probably take a while until I'm finished ...... LOL.

……… after no one has anything left in the barn / chamber ……… .I have to do investigative work myself……

……… what can I say, I found a brand new one……

Those are easily hidden, despite size and nomenclature! LOL

That's one hell of a nice looking dick

 

[german m1008]

…… .so, I've finally finished the passenger seat

 

[german m1008]

…… if you are already there you can also make a suitable mattress for the dog and sew a cover.

 

[marchplumber]

That's some sweet stuff.....I've said before..."attention to detail"

 

[german m1008]

……… I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas ……

Frohe Weihnachten

 

[german m1008]

……..haven't written anything for a long time and a lot has happened

so......the last stand was that someone drove into the parked truck in the back left.

……sometimes you are not lucky,

what can I say, the first damage was not yet repaired…….. someone drives through a red traffic light and hits my front left bumper and fender.

The insurance companies have now paid for the damages.

 

[german m1008]

Recently BIAB 1 was in the body shop……. the damage was repaired, normal putty was not used……. it was filled with soft solder and filed down.

 

[german m1008]

soon it's going to the paint shop………Let's see how he can match the paint.
……..this is how it looks at the moment

Well... I guess the good news is that they fixed your truck. Insurance should fix things but sometimes it ends up costing you in the end. Stay on top of your insurance records - making sure that they don't penalize you for some "nit-wit" driver that ran into you!

The repairs look good so far.

 

[german m1008]

…….everything is good, the damage can be easily repaired.

 

[marchplumber]

Thanks for sharing!!! Sorry for the reason!! Glad insurance is stepping up and covering damage to an "antique" vehicle.......cool that it was filled, not puttied!! Computer aided paint matching is pretty amazing.....

Thank you for the update. Take Care. Enjoy the M1009.
