1934 International C1

Nice work, it's looking good.
Those tail gate locks are brilliant as are your square nuts. I made some of them for my tractor a while back but you have made a better job than I did.

I "lurve" the curve in the tailgate, it takes away the plain flat panel look and I love the hinges as well. I might have to do something similar for my 1939 Morris 14 horsepower Ute when I do the body, although the panels either side of where the tailgate should be appear to be straight, not curved.

Got the king pins done now, turned up a mandrel for installing the bushes. Love making stuff on the lathe.

Yep, love getting on the swarf - o - mat! Tried using end mills last weekend to open out the holes on sawbench pillow bearings for the swarf - o - mat MkII (my lathe's a little Chinese lathe mill drill) Good fun. MkII is an antique line shaft powered lathe I'm converting to electric power. Really testing my meagre ingenuity.

Jarrod.

Still ticking off the jobs, I've been through the steering boxes and made one out of two. Also re raced the gearbox. Just a simple 3 speed box with a huge input shaft.

gearbox is in good nick for a straight crash box........owned by a farmer who drove everywhere in top,and just slipped the clutch a bit.

An update on the C1.
I now have a floor, still to be painted and bolted down yet.


With access to the battery...


All on a steel frame.

Update on the real C1.
Got the doors on, repaired and 'adjusted' the hinges, repaired the catches and repaired the window regulators.
4 Glass templates cut from masonite and at the Glaziers ATM.

I like the red and black C1. Just be careful you don't drive it off the edge of the table, the floor is a long way down.:S
