24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not…

Don’t know why they’ve posted in a random, shuffled up order, but you get the idea. #-o

Sunday, fun day.

Tank out, better view of the boot floor. Looks like at least one of the patches was cut from a new panel.

That was about it for today.

I have to say, I could get very used to having the luxury of a lift to work with. What a difference that makes! A great change from rolling round on a dusty concrete floor all day. :working:

If I win the lottery and buy a big house with a workshop, I’m having one of those! :D

Roof is very nearly done. Ready for lead lining, bracing removed and starting to look a bit more like a car again. But solid! :thumbright:

Before we lop ‘em off, does anyone know if these tabs are meant to be left on for any reason? :-k I’m guessing they are just where they are suspended for dipping or something, as I don’t recall the old skin having them and I’m sure they would foul the glass.

Just want to check if I’m missing something before they are consigned to the scrap pile. Any ideas?

I don’t recognise ever seeing those tabs before, I had my rear screen out on both my Challenger & my Cuda & neither had those. Like you say could be for dipping.

Nearly forgot to say, Your doing a great job 👏

Yes, I reckon they can be lopped off.

If they're from AMD, is it worth asking them? :-k

But apart from that, yes, what a fab job you're doing =D>

Do you want the 'oles once I've chopped them off? Good to have for spares. :D
