NICE!!!!! Your 'Cuda looks fantastic mate, where basically at the same stage in our restos!! lol

How long have you been doing your restoration for? Where did you get your panels from and how long do you have to wait?



Cheers,
Carl

lol!!! I wish! I wouldn't rest though while she is in a container I'd be worried sick!

If that were me I would be in the container with the car!

I made this using just the Micosoft paint, looks good. :-) (If I do say so myself lol)

LOL!! That's what I was "picking" at. lol I never knew, MEK pointed it out to me when I first showed him the grille.
Luckily he told me or else mine would have been wrong, never really took much notice.
Funny that when doing a resto like this from then on you spot the tings you never would have picked up.

It's great!! lol


Cheers Hob.
