Ummmm thought I posted a reply Mike, but seems to be lost in cyber space. Anyhow, welcome to the BC Bolters section of Stovebolt. Post some pics of your collection on a photoshare site and gives us the link. I have been working on a 2 ton for years....... However the cab is ready to come off. So it's getting much closer to finishing. I just retired recently too. Got a new garage built and finishing up the sheet metal on my Super 55 tractor. Then I'll finish up the gravel drive and haul the 2 ton into the shop and finish it off.

Here's a link to some pics before I started working on it. http://photoshare.shaw.ca/view/5655764041-1423275641-45753/8

And here are some cowl repair pics. Did you have any rust on your cowl pieces?
