Work on My F8, No. 11

[Jim Price]

Bob and Mike:
Thanks for your kind words! I'll have to admit that this is my third restoration project so I had some experience to base my planning on when starting the F8 project. As a result of these previous projects I developed a list of suppliers and contacts which also has been very helpful.

However, the help I've received from my two friends, Bob and Dylan, has proven to the most important aspect of the success so far. I've paid them both a minimum wage for the 15 to 20 hours a week they've both spent on the project. Bob has brought numerous tools and equipment as well as his skills as a welder and mechanic to the project. Dylan, the college student, brought the enthusasim of the youth and a desire to learn. Together they've been invaluable.

My decision to have the cleaning and painting done by someone else has been a big help and has given us all time to work on other tasks.

And, I'm a retired Certified Public Accountant, (Chartered Accountant to the Commonwealth countries) and a bit compulsive when it comes to organizing a project.......

Last but not least, has been the help and wealth of ideas I've either read or directly received from you MLU site members. My hat's off to you, Geoff, for hosting this great site!

Regards,
Jim
