I had this shell for a few years before I tried anything with it.
I think someone wanted to make a Canadian version, and then quit.
It was missing the cab, glazing, the fan screens had been cut out.
So I did this.

It needs just a little more work, and I can paint.

I would not like to try making those screens again.

Nice work. I like your soldered straps over the grille. What did the cab come from?

Well, I wasn't satisfied with the screen as it was.
Plus, the epoxy on one side let go.
So, i'm making a smaller screen, as the CLC version had.
I'll try soldering with this instead. Got it for $1.00 at a thrift shop.
PS
The cab is from a Mehanu RS-11, with a home-made roof.
