Frank can you take a couple of pics of the metal brackets that help to hold the body together. Is there 7 brackets per side ?? Thanks.

Thanks for those photos Frank. They clearly show how the body is secured to the frame. I'm hoping to pick up my frame on Monday.

Here's an update of oldsledz's restoration job. Looks like he's making good progress.
Coming along very well, worked on the removing the bad plywood this morning, hope to template it and put it on after I finish stripping the old vanish off the interior, then I will strip the exterior. Motor has all new gaskets and seals then painted with Chrysler blue ceramic engine paint. Frank

Another update from OLDSLEDZ
Charles, you are right, i have many copies of the newspaper from Sherbrooke in the doors of the b-12. Most of them are dated April 28, 1948. Some of them are in french and some in english. Very interesting. And I did throw in a pic of my '52 dodge m-37 army truck. My father bought it in 1962 and that was the first vehicle I ever drove. I restored it last year.

Worked on the Bomber all day today with allot of progress. Interior is clean of the old varnish, removed the side panels, removed the tin behind the front springs and blasted them clean and they are now painted. Will try to strip off the paint off the sides tomorrow. coming along very well. Hope to be ready by winter!

Jeez Frank, your making my ol' ticker skip a beat !!! These pics will help me immensely in building my woody if everything works out with the frame.
In the pic with your son with his arm on the hood, when you take more pics, could you get a couple closeups of the area behind his right shoulder. The area around the lower windshield corners. I would like to see how the wood is tied in.
Thanks, OT.

Oldsledz my horn cover has a tan color ring, similar to yours. Can't tell the color of the column, too much rust. It has three screws holding it from the underside. Two of them are rusted off & the third will have to be cut off. Do anyone know if there is some kind of kit that will make it operational again ??
When i took off some of the rotted panels, I noticed that there was a blue color in the hard to get at places, so I'm thinking she began life with a blue skin.
I will check out about sand blasting the frame this week.
OT.
