getting there with my \'68

here's some pics as of this friday just passed

Keep going will it be ready for Easter

Gees dave,

that steering wheel isn't correct is it? I say come over here all you people and look at that steering wheel! That's not correct is it? Have you noticed that steering wheel? Even if a modified theme I don't think that steering wheel is era correct for the vehicle!

Are you going to introduce a 'most welded' category by the way?

p.s. good going if you get it done. Won;t be any time for Friday crownies!

Just realised may last post was horribly obscure and should explain!

I have an obscure running joke going with Dave B. - he basically picked up ALL of the 'incorrect' things (which I knew about and agonised over) on my just finished 23 window when I took it to the Nationals. So sometimes I sorta carry on like I think he's a nitpicking old bastard - but he's a top bloke of course.

So the above was sorta a continuation of the above and probably made no sense to Cray at all so I apologise for that....I just get worse at Easter!

I should have said your 68's looking good dude and I hope you could get it finished for the Nationals!

RobK

Yeah thanks Mate
It is sort of a Joke between U n Me...
glad u explained it to everyone.

Oh by the way its my shout if you come up at Easter
Love n Kisses... n dont slip the tongue in again !!!:puke:puke

The engine lid is painted etc and ready to be put back on.. I have done the guard beading on the 4 guards... speedo & switches in.. tail lamps to be wired in as soon as the temperature gets below 30 degrees... Its still 31 degrees and its 10.50pm... I have Just found that I don't have any good 1/4 windows to put back in, out of the 6 I have... frames scratched, glass chipped, knobs are all crappy... so I'm on the look out for 2 x 1/4 windows & frames in good condition. I have all new rubbers to put on them..
My Son tells Me I HAVE to put german glass in, as the car was made in Germany
.... as all autos were.
I don't believe mine will be ready for the Nationals..!!! I'll still be there though...
