DETAILING THE BOILER FRONT NOVEMBER 14, 2009

[home]

CLOSEUP - The boiler cradle (at least that's what I think it's called) needs a little adjustment yet, and the number plate will end up red with gold number.

HERE SHE IS - After a week's on-and-off work making a cradle, access door, num-ber plate, headlight reflector and glass, and a coat of silver paint, here's the result.

COMPROMISE - After several ideas that were very complicated, I secured the access door with 10 hex-head screws.  Take a look at the headlight for a second.

RECYCLED REFLECTOR - Yes, it's the bottom of a soda can, cut to fit inside the headlight housing.  The bulb will come from a trailer clearance light.
