:o Oh no! There's overspray on the flexplate ring gear. Better paint the whole plate yellow to match or some feckin' annoying anorak :oops: will spot that. ;)

Seriously though, this gets better with every new post, thanks for the lovely pictures. 8-)

They had pretty trick suspension on trucks back in 48. My 99 3/4 Chevy is far less sophisticated

Jaguar must have learned a thing or two from Chevy when they designed the e-type :)

I've just looked at the images again, but this time on a much bigger, better quality screen than the one I'm usually found sitting behind.

That paint - thanks in no small way the smoothness of what's beneath it - must be the finest quality job I've seen in years.
