GPA 2196 Progress Pictures

Post by GPA2196 »

Here are some update pictures of the Hull and Chasis. The Hull is now back from the sand blasters. These pictures are before that from January... We are getting close to assembly. We are shooting for the MVPA convention in June but it will be close.

Thanks for the compliments Bob, Dennis Francis my restorer, is truly a master, I try to do some of the little stuff and find the parts and research, but he has done the bulk...

Also I have not forgotten the starter/generator tags... I do see that Peter DeBella sells them now for 25 dollars including the rivets.... I was thinking about giving him a call.
