I'm getting the fabricating about done at the back end of the 500. I had to get it out today so I could turn it around to get to the front easier. The sun was shining so I took a few new pictures. I'm still trying to figure out of it was one of the original two sent to Georgia in 1959 for demonstration and testing. The rubber strip at the back of the hood is black. All the other ones I've seen are Clover White. When the deal was made to sell them there were some stipulations that included they had to have an Oliver serial tag and an Oliver checkerboard grill insert. All this one has is a brass tag that says Made in England. I thought the grill insert might have been taken off to put the heavy metal screen on it.

I had the hood off and turned upside down today. There's no paint on the inside at all. That leads me to believe it might have been put together and painted Oliver green in a hurry just to get it sent out.
