thanks for all kind compliments. there are some issues to iron out; the first being the registration process. this will take a few months at least, then i might run around as it is[scruffy] for the rest of the summer and find some more issues with it. the eventual aim is better paint and plateing. also no oil leaks and going in a straight line. i m not going to slouch though , 2 1960 a10s and a 54 dommie next in the queue.
