Rear hitch needed to be reworked. Welded in a bushing to return it to 3/4” pin.

Hinge fabrication tack up and hinge side curved frame tack up went smooth.

This sets the base for the door alignment all within Tucker tolerance!

I giggled at this comment. Not sure *tucker-tolerance* should be your goal. Great alignment

Marty’s wheels headed down to Shrewsbury,MA to spend some time at the axle/diff spa for some rejuvenation.

Rainy hot humid says Sno Cat to me.

Started cutting out cancer and patching the other side of the frame bottom.

Also added the missing hand crank support bracket that was torn off when I got it. The bottom takes all the abuse.

Using pictures and a caliper to figure out the size in relation to the 1 3/4” tube I think I got it with in OE Tucker Tolerance spec and a close enough repop for the storyline!

Shop got the donor rear ends apart and unfortunately they spent a good amount of time under water

Going bring down Marty’s OE rear ends see how those look and hopefully cobble together the best parts for service life.

TBD
