Hello Scotty that means alot coming from you. Thank you. I am looking forward to the next project as well. Have a couple of side projects first though to finish. Also have some projects to do for the Mother in Law. And I have a new project I just inherited. A 1964 Chevy Pickup Short bed stepside. It needs alot of loving care to get back on the road, but I promised someone very special I would do it.

I promised my Father in law I would get her back to her former glory. So far I have got some rolling tires on her and up in the garage.

Very different from the Scania & the Reading Steamer....
It'll take you far longer that 120hrs and 6 months plus a lot more folding stuff....
Good luck with the RESTORATION, "hot rodder",
Keep it simple and take you time with this one making sure you get some toymaking in....
Cheers, crowie
