So now it's done Ian what are your plans for it...taking it to any shows next year?

Thanks guys, fair to say the bonnet needs a fair bit of work but as you know it's a big part of the finished look so has to be right. Believe it or not if it had been original paint I would have done everything needed and left it original paint for a while.... Your right the tyre is filled with wate...

Started the strip down, hood, main instrument body panels, wings will go for work once I've stripped it to the chassis and had everything soda/glass bead blasted.
