55 Wagon Progress

[MP&C]

Had a couple hours this evening so I decided to remove some mud daubers nest....











Used a combination of burr grinder, roloc sander, etc, to clean out the rust and scale as best I could. Once the car is up on the rotisserie again, the troublesome voids such as these will get a good flood of paint.





As this one needs a bit more flange turned in, the inside will need a bit more stretch to go with it. A suitable hammer with more heft will come in handy.











A couple fitments and adjustments, and this is ready for the welder...














and with it getting late, we'll cover the welding on the next update..
