Aha!

Welcome back Chap - looks like another great resto project there, quite a machine that. Looking forward to seeing another superbly executed job. How's that Lotus Cortina you did? Do you still have it or was it for someone else?

Cheers! :D :D

I remember the Chevy truck as well, so I'm looking forward to this.
Currently over 35 years worth of fixing 35 boxes.
Hoping to reach 65 years worth of fixing 65 boxes.

Absolutely stunning :thumbs:

How long did it take you from starting to get to this point? (It'd take me years.......)
