Rebuild of a Knight Hauler after a Crash

[gismow]

Hi...

After 2 years I decided to start a make over for my Black Devil. He will get my developed driving board to simulate a realistic driving. This will be explained in a later posting.

May actions for the last days was a rebuild of a sun shield. My first plan was replace one part, but it was a total disaster.





So I decided to design a complete new sun shield.

I started with the side parts. My goal is to keep it clean, no screws so it had to be fastened from the inside.











Now the sun shield.





Now I have side parts and a sun shield. Th challenge now is to solder the shield keeping the correct position but without damaging the cab.

So I built a support to be able to solder with a flame stress-free to the side parts.







The support gave me the possibility to work with wet papers to keep already soldered parts together.









Here you can see a brass staf, it shows me the middle of the sun shield.

I mounted it to the truck and from my point of view the job is done. Now it must be filled, sanded and painted.













That's it...
