Looking good Frank,
I'm glad you were able to get out in the shed as its still way too hot here; close to 40 yesterday & today no relief......[southerly is coming we hope]
You're skill and patience are coming to the fore...
Thank you for the Christmas greeting and please enjoy some top time with family & friends... be safe.
Cheers, Peter

I am progressing slowly. The plans call for the doors to be highlighted by kerf lines but whatever method I used to do this including routing them with the dremel I could not get them looking right so I decided to cut the doors out and glue them back in again. This looks far better than the kerf lines. After completing the sides I realised that I had stuffed up. I put the side windows in the same place on both sides when in fact they are not. So I had to make one side again. A few pics of my progress.
Cheers Frank.

Excellent Elderly!! Really great progress!!!
With that wheel track width it looks like it would blow over in a decent wind!

It's taking shape well now, Frank.
The door kerf lines look good. Very clean-looking.
I have problems with that too, and have tried a range of things - broken hacksaw blade, hobby knife, Dremel. Never looks quite right on mine.... Steve

Sounds rather extreme, best fill up the bath, move the TV or get a good book and just sit....
We had something like that a couple of weeks back and the worst of it the house didn't cool down over night by the 3rd day....
Lots of cold showers and a fan did help a little, though.
The Cougar is looking good, Frank.... I admirer your patience skills at work.
Cheers, Peter

Thanks Peter all is well with us. I will not be doing anything on the MRAP for some time it is still far to hot 40 something again today and more 40's forecast for the coming week. I am just doing a bit of turning as I feel like it. We are going on holiday at the end of the month so it will probably be the start of April before I get anymore done on it.
Cheers Frank.
