Gale,
What did you use to fill the tub gap with?
Thanks,
Eddie

Wondered for a while which thread I should put this into, "New Shop" or here. Decided it was dealing with the Bantam, so here it is, as some of you may know, I plan to store the Bantam on the second floor of the shop, I'm finally at that point so I finished the frame that I can attach the hoist. I've hung it off the cherry picker (that's how I figured the balance point) and it seems to work well, I'll find out later today (or tomorrow) if it works as planned. If you don't hear from me again, that means the trailer fell on me, or the structure in the shop collapsed (hopefully my calculations are correct, but the acid test is when I actually do it.) If this works, I'll post some pics of the "lift".

As you can see, I have a weak spot when it comes to coloring my vehicles.  (this picture sure shows just how small these things are!)

Original or not Gale, it still looks great.

Out of the tent and into the light. I'm pleased with the result. (even if it's an "unoriginal color")

I think the type of tailgate chain depends on the year, as it is with wheels, safety chains, etc.  Mine still had the original canvas coverings.

Making a little progress every day (actually I'm trying to get it done so I can move it to storage in preparation for the upcoming construction). Got the springs and axles hung today, was going to get the wheels and fenders on as well, but the shoulder started protesting too much, I'll see how it feels tomorrow. (frustrating part is that it now takes me 4 hours to do a half hour job)
