57 NAPCO rebuild

[Blackie]

The more I mess with this thing the worse it gets ........ took the screws out last night and gave it another go , I dont seem to be making any progress and now the turret has a twist in it - will set the gear up and do the right side tonight and see if that straightens it up

Got some bad rust in the header panel as well to deal with - that replacement cab in Texas is looking better and better, trying to find someone who can inspect it, do the deal and haul it to Galveston where a mate of mine ships containers of cars and parts to Fremantle.

Looking at the LMC website it appears the panel with all the screw holes in it is not reproduced so if I need replacemnet ones I am going to have to fabricate them.
