Sorry to be digging up such an old thread here guys, just spent the last 2 or so hours (bloody hell time sure does get away from your here on MLU) reading this thread from the start.

Just wondering Tony if the air show you have your truck, along with Max's F15, pictured at is one of the many Temora air shows.? If so, were you planing on going again this year.?

Default OOP's!

Sorry Beau, I missed your post on this thread.

Answer is my truck is pictured with Max's at his farm, not Temora.

Driving Max's truck feels like a go - cart compared to mine.

The pictures at Temora are with Ian Styles' vehicles.

Lastly, yes I reckon I will go the Aviation Show this year and take the F60L.

Default Short Update

Finally, finally, finally...

Got a drivers door on.

Interesting note to fold the new skin over the frame I was told to hit it with a block of wood and a hammer. The metal when struck by the wood folds but doesn't leave marks.

Lot of late nights in April but the idea was to get it on before Anzac Day.

Again, drove it to Batemans Bay to be with my Grandfather in the service.

Default Looks pretty good, or should say factory fresh

Hi Tony

You have done a first class job. Good tip on the using wooden block to beat down the edge without leaving marks.

Cheers Phil
