Re: Roaring Forties #103 Jim Dewar
The RF's look like they are pretty close as delivered. You have done a nice job! This is something you will be proud of the rest of your life. Welcome to the brotherhood of the GT40 bodywork men.

Thanks for the pics, I have been wondering how good the RF's were on bodywork. I think you have made a good choice. If I ever get my GTD done maybe..... just maybe.......

Re: Roaring Forties #103
Finished installing the engine and begining to button things up. I drove around the barn this weekend! The front and rear body sections are finished and will be delivered next week.

Re: Roaring Forties #103
Jim,
Wow; what a great looking car. Perhaps when done you will drive it down to Cameron. I am waiting for my CAV car to be shipped from San Diego through Long Island one of these months or years.
It's been a long time since I last saw you. Old Swedish Imports days at the Thomas's.
Your car is really beautiful and well detailed.
