Another trip out for the wrecking crew 21/09/14

While your blogmaster and our resident rebellious one Calum were gallavanting off to the exotic destination of Duxford's Imperial War Museum for the annual 'Showbus' event, Paul and Gary made a return to 2599 to continue work on the supporting beams around the battery box.

With the steel here, and measurements taken from the bus and the rotten beams that had been removed, Gary expertly set to work cutting the steel to the required size, and then marking up the exact position of where each piece will be situated once in place. The pieces were clamped into place to allow a preview of how the finished article will look, and to check that they had been cut to size correctly. The next task will be to actually weld them into place around the inspection area above the battery box.
