1968 Valiant - Old school lettering

Got the main lettering on today and will leave to harden over the next week or so. I will then start the ageing and distressing process to try and get that " painted 30 years ago " look.

Yes Blue ... I have thanks.
Just came back from Dave Madders / Duncan ... new torque converter, gearbox rebuild, ignition etc etc.
I`m putting on a new trans cooler and lines this week, plus a few other little jobs, and hope to have it out next week ( subject to weather ).
It`s the first 340 mopar / a body I`ve had and I`m impressed with feel of the thing. ( ford rear end )
I`ve weighed it and it is 1260 kg without driver so have to see what it manages ???????

Pete ... my friend did it for me ... good bloke + cheap.
Just need to hover over his shoulder to make sure he spell " tire " correctly.
He is willing to do other cars if required and will travel !
