Is that a Queensland mix Pete, Champers and Bundy on ice? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]

Bill as you well know, we will try anything up here [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]
But my poor grammar has let me down again [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] that should read Champers or Bundy. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banana.gif[/img] |

Hey Pete, not to worry, I'll try the Champers & Bundy combo and let you know how I go - once I get my car o the road!
Just got a shot sent to me of the rear clip with its clear coat on it. I'm heading down there now! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banana.gif[/img]

Hey Tim
Can't do much about the distance thing for you, but I do know that Al has started working on your car. I also know that Mike (who was striping my front clip in a previous post) is assisting Al with the major body work, so things will progress quicker than my car. On that note, due to my dark colours, Al probably won't do another like it for at least a year - he feels he needs that long to get over the nightmares and anxiety [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/zzzzz.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beat.gif[/img]
He also mentioned your colour scheme to me and it sounds to me like you're on a winner there too.
As I am down there a bit over the next couple of weeks, I'll take some snaps of your car and email them up to you.
This is what you've got to look forward to! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] | |

Thanks guys, although the credit must go to Allan and Mike for the top job they've done.
Pete - you are right about the sunnies, the champagne stripe "lights up" when the sun hits it, and I am sure it will cause me problems on the road. I think it is time to upgrade to some prescription sunglasses [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
Chris - You are welcome to pick me up on yor way through [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] | |

Working on the fuel tanks in this photo. Tricky bit of work to get the fuel sender unit installed as the manual calls for all the holes to be drilled an tapped.... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif[/img] | |

Looking fantastic Bill. I always look forward to your updates on your build. I can't wait for you to finish it (particularly as I live in Melbourne and thus have a high chance of getting to see it up close at some GT40 event or another).
regards
Jack | |

Jack,
i would take Bill up on his offer,you may have to pull on the overalls but on the bright side Bill does have a very well stocked bar fridge, I think I might have to drop in on the weekend just to check on Bills progress myself. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img] | |
