Tony, thanks for linking to this thread, to point out the body type in answer to my query. I thought I'd read this thread before, and indeed note that I had pointed out that I have one of the GMH Special Body Division plates, that you'll need.

I've taken it to friend who is having various aircraft placards and plates replicated. It looks fairly easy to replicate, so I'll make sure that I run a number of them off and you get one.

I'm following your resto with great interest.

Cheers,
Matt

Default Chassis painted

I got pretty tired of of sanding back an area, and having it start rusting before I had done enough to justify getting out the spray gun, so today I got in a professional.

I was then able to get out the spray gun and get it primed.

Unfortunately it showed some more things that need replacing.... drats

Default Life is getting greener

Another day with the spray gun and the chassis got a lot greener.

I used a lot more paint than I expected, but that was because there was a light breeze..

If I keep this up, I may even be driving it around soon....

Default Well done

Good on you Tony for getting stuck into it.

They dont restore themselves sitting there. You are well on the way.

Enjoying the thread, keep the pictures coming.
