Dave,
Yes sorry about the exposure.
I have found that I have to adjust the exposure of the pictures on my computer before I post them.
Some were some were not.
What guy's?
That is all me!
The car is very simple to panel.
Anyone with a few basic tools, some patience and reading comprehension, can panel a TS40 in the same timeframe as me.
Stay tuned and watch how fast it progresses after it is panelled!
Regards,
Scott

Looks great Scott, keep it up!
The contrast between the chrome arms and the black chassis looks great. Not too bling!
Keep up the good work
