Dam'n, that frame is looking smooth.
Better make a cover for it to stop the paint getting dirty or chipped.  Wink

A long time since it was last in the cab, but I'm guessing it goes here.
Lots to do before it goes back in though.

And finally made a start on vinyl covering a couple of sections of gearbox tunnel that are welded into the cab.

Wasn't happy with the rear lights. I had them powder coated several years ago, (this thing's been off the road for 6 years now), & put them to one side without unwrapping them from the bubble wrap the coaters use.
When I opened them I found one of the rims was buckled out of shape, presumably from the force of the blasting, & wouldn't fit properly. One lens has also always been cloudy for some reason & wouldn't polish out.
They're repro Massey Ferguson tractor lights that I paid a fair bit for at a steam rally years ago.
Perusing the 'net last week, I found exactly the same ones for 19 quid a pair in India, except they have a clear number plate light lens underneath. They arrived today, so I've fitted the new lenses & rims to my existing shells.

Ran a bead of black mastic along the back of the cab, where it sits on the chassis, partly to stop rainwater creeping underneath but mainly just to tidy it up. I've also mastic'd around the rear window rubber cos I vaguely remember it leaking slightly when it was driven in bare metal.
