That's a good lot of progress for only a few months?

Went looking for and found this thread via a comment from Slotts :thumbsup:

He's got work to do on yours before he can do a job for mine.No problem.Anyone who is good at what they do is always worth waiting for :cheers:

Mine's been over 5yrs in the build and still not quite finished.Very close though :woohoo:

And to quote a line from a famous Aussie car film (Running on Empty)  "Green.Green is nice" :bigsmile:
Burnouts are cool but Traction is the Action

Gary, No , the motor compartment isn't getting painted. That is one thing crossed off my list. With all the surprises , Rod found. I gotta cut back .  :sadwavey:
