    G'Day Mike,
    Good to see you back in the shop, and I've got a front row seat on yet another "fozzy original".
    You must have heating working overtime, as it seems to have been a very cold winter for North America.
    Looking forward to more updates & photos, thank you.
    Cheers, crowie

    I say the distressed as well and also a small amount of a contrasting colour just to set it off.

    Three [3] votes for the distressed look and as Derek said a hint of a bright highlight colour....

    Distressed from me. Mike I understand the too many hobby things. Man reason I haven't posted any projects on here or been in my woodshop for the last 6 months!!!! The good news is this time next year I hope to have a dedicated woodshop and a 4 bay garage! But yea same for me: woodworking, scale models, cars, engines, kids, video games, computers, Lego, READING FORUMS! LOL

    Sorry guys but I prefer the clean black. Nice work fozzy, looking really good.
    Reality is no background music.
    Cheers John

    Rat Rods, by definition, are generally left in an "unfinished" state.
    But every car built by its owner (real or model) should be built to their own taste and ideas.

    Looking good Fozz.
