G’day Peter,
This car is an absolute credit to you. The colour combination and quality of the paintwork shown here is brilliant. I’m looking forward to seeing more pictures of this stunning car.

Cheers,
Danny

Trimming and closures...

Would have to be one of the best GT40 builds I have seen and I don't think I have seen a better RF before. Well done Mate.

 

[JimmyMac]

Spot on Dave,
Exhibition quality Peter.

 

[HILLY]

Gents,
Your comments are graciously received and humbling.
I must say though that there are many quality builds out there and ultimately the individuals satisfaction in the product of their efforts is the most important aspect of any build. I enjoyed mine so much that I am going to do it again!!
Worst part for me is that I am a fussy ‘B’ and often my own worst critic.

 

[HILLY]

Bits of plumbing and wiring.....

 

[Danny]

Lookin’ very tidy, Pete.

Just wondering, that isn’t your pushbike in the background, is it?

 

[HILLY]

The new heart arrives.......

 

[HILLY]

Good spot Danny.
I will have to choose my photo's more carefully.

Peter:

Very impressive build. The precise layout and organization of the wiring and the plumbing obviously took a lot of planning and forethought - and it shows!

[HILLY]

Thanks Chuck,
I did change and tweak a few things on the car which involved a bit of extra thought but I found that the RF assembly manual was very helpful in setting out the foundation of the build and saved a lot of time in the process as well as ending up with a tidy finish. Especially with the wiring!!

Peter -

Your build is one to aspire to. The attention to detail and precision... judging by the high standard you've set, by any chance are you a surgeon in real life?

If so, when I need some serious body work, you're my guy.

Awesome, awesome job.
