Work has continued on No.69's tank over the past week, with the outside nearing the completion of being primed. Other tasks were completed such as inspection for any holes and bending back square angle bracket which fixes the tank to the front of the cab. All in all, the condition of the metal surprised volunteers as it is in good condition for its age, with hardly any rust and a handful of small holes which won't be too much of a headache to fix.
Cameron measures the lettering and lining before the paint is removed.
Robert begins needle gunning the front face of the tank.
Back of the tank shows quite severe pitting, although only one hole was found in the bottom right corner.
Aaran and Robert move on to the fireman's side and radius.
Cameron needle guns the hole for the dome, whilst Robert continues on the side.
Aaran heats the bent angle bracket for Michael to bend and hammer back square.
The result. A perfectly square bracket ready to connect the tank to the cab when the time comes.
