Trev- pre kids I could paint a car in 2-3 days

now it's 2-3 months

Is that because you want to take more time in the garage away from the kids

Some photoshop expert do a black and white of the car outside the house - reckon it will like like it was taken in 1960 so long as you remove that silver thing on the roof !!!
Very nice resto - expect a call from Mr Standard.

Grey motors don't move fast RB, but if you are driving a beautifully restored FB or EK, you don't have to move for anybody
Great looking car Tim. Well done.

That he was Aidan...

But when you drive a restored car, you are too civilised a person for that drag racing hooning nonsense

Man up Mick ..you big girl!!
I'll swap your out West winter weather for what we're going through here!!
Sideways rain. in buckets full, and 100km winds to boot at the moment..I've had to re-start the 'puter 4 times tonight due to short blackouts!!

and it does'nt seem to be subsiding. Although Fatboy may be copping it more?? And maybe some of the 'Gong' area forum members as well!!
How was the swap meet Tim?? Come home with any Nasco bits to add to the collection?
Scotty.
