I have spent many a day on a 5/10 min job, I must admit I do enjoy making little one off jobs, I would love to earn a living from fabricating, but would you get paid for all the time scratching your head, and staring at a blank piece of paper :help:

A few pics of the car today, back to bare metal, all dints sorted out properly this time, the only filler is now a fine smear to get completely straight, the cortina seen in the pictures is an original fia race car Brian has completely restored

I thought it had shrunk for a moment!!!

What axle are you using? Dana 60??

Have you mini-tubbed?

Can't wait to see this car 8-)

8 3/4 Pete, the one Ivor had I believe from you? Yes it is mini-tubbed, will be 4 wheel power disk brakes too, I can't wait to see it done either Pete not 100% decided on colour yet tho

That was a good axle - Hauser-built and very expensive!!!

How about "Panther Pink"!! ;) That would get them talking at York.....

Why not? I am sure you could pull that off ;)

Hard to avoid black again, but maybe a Bahama Blue or similar would make a change.....

Seriously considering the original colour which is grey/silver, maybe gun metal grey or Bry's suggestion a brandy wine candy

Brandy wine sounds good - sign-written or plain?
