Well it’s been a weird week!
The COVID situation isn’t getting better with way too many selfish people not following the government directions.
The whole of the state is under Lockdown Stay at Home orders with today the lockdown extended until the end of September plus a 9pm to 5am curfew.
The 50 year Naval Reunion planned for October has been postponed 12 months.
I shouldn’t complain as I’ve got Skype to keep in touch with family plus internet and best of all, I have my shed & woodwork.
SO BACK TO THE SHED!
Papa Smurf, Handy and I took a long time to work out the “HOW TO” for the rear deck and rear mudguards.
Here’s what we decided to do thus far.

We got 2 fuel tanks made up and installed.
We also cut and fitted the tray/bed sides.

Of course Papa Smurf has a smile. He had a sniff of the inside of those fuel tanks!
At least Papa and Handy do not need to wear face masks while working. Probably will not work well with Papa's beard anyway.
The build is going well Crowie. Sorry to hear your reunion has been postponed, but that seems to be the thing at the moment.
Stay safe, Stay well.

Kevin, No masks �� in my shed as we’re all family!
Normally though, the 3 of us keep our physical distances (not the oxymoron of “social distancing”), especially the shape spinning things that hurt.
And YES, really peaved about the reunion, but more so with the leaders of the newly formed 7 countries within Australia who seem to be working against each other and the commonwealth!
Love to line up the media under rule 303, for their fear mongering, half truths and spin to gain advertising revenue while grabbing headlines.
Anyways Kevin, life is good and shed time heads keep me sane!!
Cheers Peter

Today has been an EXHAUSTING BUMPER day!
Today has been an EXHAUSTING BUMPER day!
Oh, my goodness me, did I really say that; no it was Papa Smurf!
Handy and I made and fitted lights to both the front & rear bumper bars.
Plus we made and fitted twin exhaust stacks.
Looking good if we do say so ourselves!
Cheers crowie

Well Papa Smurf told Handy & I yesterday as we were doing a final bit of sanding & detailing; we are on the home stretch!
Today we applied the “A Crowe Creations” hot stamp logo to the underside of the truck.
Cheers crowie
