Head Rose'n'Tail Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 It'll be nice to see what you come up with @OldFord bud have thought about it myself, pulleys, motors, slide along the frame or large frame at one side that would envelope the area when dropped, like a level crossing barrier I'm away to do some 'traispotting' now, but I'll be back to see what unfolds Choo Choo 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way i get max daylight , water can drain away from inside as it closes. Simple stuff , using smaller diameter stainless rod. This one will be to get me through the run , will be developed as & when i got time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other was Ford Light Blue code CG most likely Du Pont coating too. PPG were on the go but deliveries to the plants were unreliable. Quite a few good colour charts around if you have any traces of the original paint to match. Inner bulkhead is prob best area to match from as no UV fade Hope that helps mate Edited March 3, 2023 by OldFord Spelling ...as usual 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
