Figured I’d post my Christmas present to myself. Finally getting the Art Franklin finished up. Had this for a couple years, it was sitting in a garage against a block wall for years and the body was completely rusted out when I got it. Been on the back burner but built the inside and outside sheetmetal body this week. Pretty complex inside sheetmetal work with asymmetrical air intake but turned out really nice. One of the larger big body gas heaters. You can see it’s size next to the 153. Still have to sort some hardware and find 2 door pins I’ve misplaced.

Still have a few sheetmetal pieces to finish up but glad I got her home. Just a trophy queen still running the Triple Effect 5 tube for my gasser.
