Thank you Dale
It’s been bit too long 11 years, but after 6 I took it as hobby, also very difficult when you are dealing with 100times splashed body
Nothing did not matched
Upholstery is next . All parts are ready to wrap

You doing it yourself?

Thanks , you may not know Joe sold the unit, everything in it
So no more coffee hang outs
But we should maybe in the next spring get together,
Jim Dinner it’s gonna help me with front wheels adjustment
Anyway will keep in touch
I had to put temp tail lights so the CAA would tow it back home under my Fords tags lol cause they are taking picture of the rear car before load up

We can do it at my place if your up to the drive to Cambridge.  Where I shot Joe's yellow Diablo you did.

We can round up the current owners and past owners/builder's.  You thinking of going to Carlisle?

lol, can't remember what I did yesterday, let alone a couple years ago.  Odd you can fly over the boarder by can't drive, go figure?  Agree to early to plan for sure but wanted to put the bug in your ear......so to speak.

Stunning Colour choice Eddie I love it!  Looks fantastic!  Great hearing from you again.  We'll need to have a big get together when you get it done!

well started to hang the door on and lids. I'm waiting for extra Tangelo ( 2 quarts), I bought a gallon (US) but I used one quart just for jams so just to be sure I don't run short while painting the exterior. if I don't need it I can return it, not paying for it unless I open the can. now we are getting busy at the shop, the long weekend we are closed, Thursday they are going  Service the Downdraft, so hopefully, I'll get it done after that,
