thanks very much for that. I will do as said late today . Smile

Great build bud! This is incredible! I'm restoring my '69 which isn't half as bad as yours (before you started) and I don't think it will turn out half as good as yours once you're finished! Anyway, congrats and good luck on everything!

Just stumbled across this, and am to page 9. I have to say, amazing job! You give me hope for my 68 sitting waiting on me. Patience and top notch work have paid off for you and it looks fantastic.

Just read all 14 pages of this thread. Amazing work mate. I can't wait to se the finished product. I have a 68 thats getting restored, but not half as good as yours ( in terms of detail).
What work do you do? I'm curious about the fact that you don't seem to go to work when it rains and apparently it rains every other day in the UK.

this is simply incredible. I gotta ask OP, where did you learn to do all this stuff? and do it correctly?

I've got a 69 that I planned on restoring with my son. Its intimidating to say the least to be going in without experience in the areas of welding, wiring etc. but I want to learn. I have books, bug me videos on order etc. You seem to have knowledge on how to approach it all. curious where you learned?

and thank you for sharing this great project with us and documenting so well.

Wow.....simply amazing all the job in this blessed thread!

Toooons of inspiration, just got my spray gun and compressor, i might get a weldener and learn how to do all the great things u did to this.

Wish we had access to all those parts u have there, damn my 3rd world country hahahahahaha

amazing job sir!
