I never thought that I'd be so turned on by a picture of a car in guide coat, but then we're not just looking at any old car are we. 8-)

I think you're going to have to hold a grand unveiling ceremony when this is finished so we can all come to guffaw and nod approvingly. Have the magazine editors got in touch yet to book in the photo shoot that is a certainty??

Awesome stuff :thumbs:
