Finally, today i started assembling the cockpit, pretty strait forward, not really hard.... yet.. ;D

Here she is, lets see what this odd wrapping hides...
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net1.jpg)

Unwrapped it for the first time since I bought it... It has been in hiding in our garage in GB, and in storage in DK..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net11.jpg)

Pure 25" Ampliphone Godness.....
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net12.jpg)

(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net13.jpg)

Totally rebuild PS... nice and shiny..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net14.jpg)

Step 2, unwrapped all the pieces, pretty good condition I must say...
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net15.jpg)

But wait, wass passiert hier??!!! looks like repro art!
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net16.jpg)

Ok, back to the cab, a split piece of wood, what to do??
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net17.jpg)

 - instead of gluing it back together, and wait countless hours for it to dry, I decided to make some exact copies... Might as well take advantage of the workshop im in  ;D
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net18.jpg)

2 minutes later, a perfect replica - even the same color:
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net2.jpg)

The nails and glue that used to hold th base together gave up a looong time ago..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net3.jpg)

- so glued the pieces back together..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net4.jpg)

And used a nail gun to keep it in place..
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net5.jpg)

Started mounting the rear end, tough job because you had to screw it to the frame in tuff al most unreachable places..  :-\
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net6.jpg)

Both sides done, my lord, it starting to look like something now!!
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net7.jpg)

Speaker-back-support-piece-of-plywood mounted  :D
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net8.jpg)

Right side canopy support mounted, really starts to take shape now!!
(http://www.opdenkelder.com/muerto/SWC/SWC_net9.jpg)

And the last picture of todays work (5 hours!!!) beauti!

Title: Re: Let the assemble commence.
Post by: Belike on March 10, 2013, 10:50:37 AM
Wohooooooo, it finally started. :D
It so good that you have the amplifone monitor, I compared my WG pic quality with André's cockpit and realized that the original is far better. :-\
Title: Re: Let the assemble commence.
Post by: Muerto on March 10, 2013, 06:04:01 PM
Was working on the cockpit for about 3 hours today, mounted the coin door, plexi, and the speakers under the seat - and of course the "Marquee"
Eeh, forgot my camera today, so to the picture with my iPhone, sorry about that - it doesn't make the cab justice

Still on the to-do list:
