Excellent

John this is going to look damn good

if you discover you are short of bits

i know a place with 2 barracudas 68 69 (discovered this after your wings wer winging their way to the UK)

what they are like has been impossible to acertain (although i have tried) due to the bloke who owns the yard dragging his feet for 2 months

if i doscover anything elese i'll let you know

Fantastic work guys, sorry to sound like an elf and safety offiocer, but get those protective glasses on, I spent an interesting spell in Stoke Mandeville with a steel splinter in my eye!

Nevertheless, I've got to agree with everyone this is great to work like this and despite what everyone is saying, I think 2011 will be a great year and to see John's Barracuda back on form, will be the icing on the cake.

Yep, I have had my eyeball sliced with a scalpel, and then drilled (my head was in a jig) about 3 weeks later when they realised at the hospital they had not got it out on the first attempt.

That happened when I was installing the shifter in the Barracuda and got a steel shard in the eye from a cutting disc.

It may sound all girly saying wear shields; but its no good being all "John Wayne" and then putting up with the agony and hassle of "rust eye".

Must agree with Ivor and Pete, been down Sutton eye hospital a few times also put some gloves on with the angle grinder, had to get my finger glued and sutured back together last year

I'd be inclined to thinks he'd more likley say

Gis ya jayket big man....yes yooo... you no listenin to me???! yoo..... big man!!!! Gis ya jayket.......
.......soon as you leave big man? eh....?

in an intimidateing way from his bolt-hole in the corner of the pub, as you enter to purchase a half of larger and lime

or indeed itimate that you may like to get aquianted with his boaby as an expresion of defiance

but you never know.....

Not much going on today as we both had other bits to do but we did mock up door and front wing with the pillar to see if it would all fit before we weld it up, have to replace the heater matrix on the disco and it looks like a bugger to do as half the dash has to come out
