I did say I would some outside shots up.
These are ones that I took ,I will put some others up that a mate took later.
I am guessing his will be better.

I didnt want garden shots for this car I wanted the dirty back alley thing happening

What a great setting to shoot photos of your stunning car. I'm loving the shots Jim. BTW, I bet the locals were VERY interested in painting your car. Its one of the first things that came to mind when seeing them in the background. Glad you said no!

This is what a good friend did, I was not aware he was doing an article for a photographic site.
He did a great job.

Jim, thanks for posting this. I now have enough screen savers / wall paper to last me for a very long time. This guy got some great photos of your car and my appreciation for all your hard work continues to grow. That is one very cool ride. It has just enough bad ass in it to set it off amongst all the others and I like that.

Hi Jim,
Just came across your photos and have to ask did you build that incredible alloy body, if so I feel humble with my efforts. That is true craftsmanship at a level I aspire to. I'm going hunting for your build log straight after this. The thing I love most is the car doesn't look new or a kit, it looks like it should the door and panel gaps aren't perfect and shouldn't be, the wheels and high profile tires just look perfect. I'm not a fan of these 17" blubber band look at all, I want cars to look the period and the part and this fits the bill to perfection.

Stunning Stunning Stunning !!!

Cheers Leon

Thanks Leon
Yes I built the body, It was my first attempt so the learning curve was straight up.
Yes its not perfect but I agree it suits the car perfectly.
I love the 15" look as well.

Hi Jim, absolutely blown away by the incredible job you did making the body on that car!!!! they all should be like that!!! I made a new body out of alloy for my super seven years ago and then polished it to death so I have an idea whats involved in the work you did, absolutely fantastic job! all the best and keep up the great work , Neville Nesbitt.:thumbsup:
