Re: Double Trouble - Sloper
Just back tracking a little, these pictures show all the lower half of the rear fender wells and rear tail sections of Wayne's '39 all oxy butt welded up and ready for the floor to be fitted.
You can also see small square repairs in the inner fender, there were originally two small 90 degree tabs on the inside face, which helped locate a flat timber floor as a cover for the spare tyre.
These were torn out and others damaged, so small patches were fitted.
The Slopers did not have the cross bracing under the rear parcel tray or the spare wheel well.
As the Sloper had the flat tyre and in which the whole rear seat could be folded down and made into a sleeping area, from the front seat rearwards.
