Kudo's to you my friend. I've been around this kind of stuff for many years, and to see someone of your generation with this kind of talent and initiative is quite refreshing!
You are in a very good place here. Both in your life and on these forums.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope to see you step into the shoes of the masters that this hobby will eventually lose.
Peace, Love, and Much respect from here! |

empiflake:
hi man, colour i think will be close to strato but im now learning to something that isnt done to often, unique
as for the wheels and stance, 4 inch beam, 2 clicks at back, dropped spindles, and not to sure about wheels
thankyou Pifey
i really wanted to exept the challenge this great just to show it could be done, so that other people around my age want to do something like this aswell
little update:
all the work to the front firewall has been done now, bot sections on left and right near where the captive nut sits had to be replaced, about 2 days full work
now onto other random patches, will start on them soon.
thanks
-Blair
