At the bottom of the above link you can click on any stage of the restoration but unfortunately it seems an unfinished story.

Hi,

I was interested to find this forum, and reference to my old lorry. Fear not, the restoration is very much continuing, I hope to pop an update on the site shortly. The latest one covers work done during April/May 2010

If anyone can help with sourcing either old photos of this lorry, or ones like it during WW2, it'd be great to hear from you.

rgds, Rick :)

Hi, Rick (and welcome!) - I enjoyed reading about the history when the topic first appeared here.

I congratulate you on your patience and ability to do a worthwhile restoration.

I agree that preparation is worth much more than extra coats of paint when producing a quality finish.

I look forward to seeing photographs of the finished vehicle.

Hello again,

Just thought I'd post a quick update. There are still a few outstanding jobs to do on the Dodge, and minor setup work, but it's coming along quite well. I took it to a local show recently, some photos can be found on my site:
