Just three of us today but a lot of work got done.  Ian finished off painting the suspension and axlebox parts and then spent the rest of the day removing sawdust and a lot of rubbish from inside the car and generally tidied it up.  Jim started by putting another coat of Cuprinol on the roof then spent the rest of the day filling and finishing the edges and nosings round the canopy bends.  I started by routing the upper edge of the canopy bend nosing at D end and then Jim sanded the underside.  During the week I had collected the stair treads from the joiners with the backs cut accurately and nosings cut.  A prototype tread was then marked out and the supporting blocks shaped and drilled then the tread was assembled and checked against the marks on the stringers.  All was in order so I spent the reat of the afternoon, marking and drilling treads and blocks.  On the way home the door gear was left at Elliott Engineering for the wheels and axles tro be made and assembled.  All in all some good steady progress.
