Thanks Peter. I now realize why I needed to have a break from the car. At least I know all the processes and what to look out for this time. The PS front door should be more straight forward as it's just a sectioning job.

Thanks Peter. No I'm not. My wife and her sister are the football fanatics in our family. In Victoria where I live 'Aussie Rules' (AFL) is the passion for most people, although Rugby and Soccer are also strong. My preference is for anything mechanical (you'd never guess would you (rofl)and anything that mixes art & design with that) This is the sort of thing that intrigues and fascinates me: The DecolinerDon't forget to play the video...you'll just love the 'alternate' steering location.

Randy Grubb. What an incredibly unhinged perfectionist! Love it. Thanks for the post Vince. That Decoliner looks perfectly designed. Love the flying deck. And so stable. Just look at the way it takes the corner at the end of the vid! Apparently for sale at half a million dollars. So for 5,000 hours work thats 100 dollars an hour!
Yes I should have said World Cup soccer. I think Tim Cahill's world cup goal may enthuse you anyway. Its on Google.
Keep posting!!

G'Day, mate. I'm glad you managed to get all this extra work done in between the showers over the last couple of days - looking good too....! It was great to actually see the car 'in the flesh' a few days ago too, so thanks again for the opportunity. The whole car might be painted by the end of the week at this rate.......!! Keep up the good work!

That'd be wishful thinking if not delusional Stu. Take that lovely coupe for a nice big drive.

Thanks Glenn & Peter. Like all of those tasks that started with..."Oh that'd be an interesting modification!" It's always a lot more effort than you'd like it to be. (10% inspiration and 90% perspiration)

Yoooodling always helps John! But does it work in Oz?

I don't have that tool John...but I also wanted to strengthen the panel by providing an extra brace albeit in body steel. I also didn't want to kink or stretch any of the panels given my recent 3 day ordeal. It also makes it easier to MIG the joins. When it's done there's only a thin strip on the back of the panel.

Thanks John! I see no chance of my no longer drinking pils!
The guys in white jackets are fun. Think they are from Morrisons...

Well done Vince. Amazing what has changed since my computer crashed a week ago. Door looks original! Now the roof.
All the best.

Vince, If you have this design protected you could sell it to a Chinese MG /Volvo outfit?!
Looks great. Await track news!
PS John's is the ultimate compliment.
