its a good looking car... have you finished doing all the changes or in the middle of them? looking forward to seeing it, probably the first 6 speed FB/EK going around
when is Brodie back (you can answer that if you see it Brod's / how's pitching state side?)

Ahh ! I'm good Nathan , I'm good 
I have this way with all thing's electrical - sexy finger's they call it and computer's are my worst .
Pretty much finished the drive train and underside from rear of engine back until we build a 4 link and rear disc's into it but that is further down the track . For now I just want to drive the wheel's off it . Have a bit more posting to do to get up to date , but will try to cover that over the next week or so .
Boof is still in Lima , finishes his degree on 6th of August and should be heading home a week or so after that . He is leaving the Comet behind as he want's to do Route 66 in it next year then ship it home from L.A. . That's not all he is leaving behind , has been a smorgasbord the last 4 years but he got to the sweet's and is unable to leave the counter. Can't blame him though , she is a good woman .
He has just had another operation , this time his shoulder . They won their Conference and he had to have cortisone injection's so he could pitch in the Final's . A week or so later they had him on the table . Will leave it up to him to fill you in on the detail's but has a couple of years of rehab ahead of him and will probably be the end of his pitching day's as he most likely won't get his speed back . Yeah ... not good eh !
We will come around and check out your progress when he get's home , if that is ok .
Keep up the good work bloke !

That engine bay really looks the business - I hope Doug has another crack at buidling as he sure did well for his first one !
Reading that stuff about your young bloke makes me wonder where all the time went !
Have fun with that beauty

G'day Dave ,
Yeah ! Time flies alright . Doug has been building a rod , pick up I believe , something along the lines of a Jailbar . I believe a bitsa of sorts . He sold the EK to help fund it . Have been meaning to ring him to pick his brains on some stuff regarding the EK .
