Ken that is some fine looking fabricating buddy.  :cheers:  I think you should move to the states and open up a shop, maybe somewhere close to Carlisle then ya could make the show every year.  :2thumbs:  :cheers:

Mmmmm that would be something to think about, would be great being closer to everything :wave:
Thanks for the Kudo's Guys :2thumbs: & Gal ;) i would rather be working on Mopars, but it all helps to pay for my addictions :naughty:
Nice work Kenny.

I hand formed the fenders (cycle gaurds) and fitted them, i fitted the super charger and made hood sides for it, that i have to finish fitting any day now. Tail lights , general wire tiddy up. masked out and painted the Lime green pinstripe and pastel Green two tone color, among other small things that take up so much time, even swung the hood sideways.






And a lot of masking for the detailed bits that no body notices :faint:

He is really happy with the color scheme i picked out for him, he originally wanted to use Silver with the Dark green, i told him that two metallics just do not work together as well as a pastel and Metallic do ! he is so glad he picked the pastel green now ::) yea, he picked it :smilielol: it is hard being green sometimes :bigsmile:

The filler cap was there from new, the body is about 15 years old..... Fiberglass body from an Australian firm that is not in business anymore. They fitted those ugly door handles from new and i was trying my hardest to talk the owner in to putting original handles back in with no luck :faint: oh well...... it is nearly all done. i have just a little more work left to do and will post final pictures of it in the near future. :2thumbs:

Great work Kenny, looks like you have your hands full. Although I dig on the Roadrunner and Dart, I also like the Pontiac, they are neat cars for sure(except for the cast engine rods)   :smilielol:
