G'day Keith! Yeah I have that bit, but ran out of sunlight and motivation before I got it back on. I really wanted to put the grille on temporarily, even though the shroud isn't done yet. I need to put the Ford badge onto the grille first. I dropped it the other day, but it fell writing side up (the way that buttered toast DOESN'T) and wasn't damaged. Bonnet needs a set of shims made and it's ready to go on then also.
The final task today was sticking the vehicle numbers on nose and doors. I wasn't sure about the font when I first received these from U.S.A, but they kind of grew on me, so I thought I would go ahead with them. It was cheaper to buy these from USA, as opposed to buying local. That's just amazing. Putting 'em on was no problem as I had dabbled in computer-cut signage some years ago. Ah the memories! Wish I had kept the sign cutter.
The sun had gone down but I wanted to get the numbers on TODAY, so I hooked up an old floodlight for ambiance. Because of the steaming turd of a day I had suffered, and because the numbers are my Fathers' service numbers, I was determined to finish the day on a positive note. To be frank, I would have fired up the old kerosene lamp if I had to do so to get the job done. When I stood back and took a good look, I have to confess I got a bit choked-up, and was thinking Dad would have loved to see this vehicle finished. He's been gone 6 years now and I guess at this time he would love to see any vehicle I suppose.
I went from sadness to having a little chuckle, when I realised that Dads' service number when applied to the CMP, looks
quite like the phone number you would ring to order a taxi. 
I am expecting a TAC plate to arrive this week. Hope to get someone to cut me a chunk of metal for the unit & 'PASS' signs to go onto. I may take next weekend off as far as CMP work goes, to allow shoulder to settle down a bit. Mind you, I did say that last Saturday too.
And Lynn said I would never be able to keep the workshop clean!?!?
I swear I will NEVER restore another vehicle of this size and weight again...............so if anyone has an old Saturn V rocket that needs doing up, send me a message!!!!!!!
