Never thought I'd actually get to post in the workshop, but here we go.
Bought new dollies to move the cars around, and get the Chally where I can get near it, and empty it of all the parts that have been stored for 10 years or more.
I also appear to have found a bettre way to resize pics at long last.
Garage is also home to the model aeroplanes, I'm not allowed them in the bedroom anymore.

Wing trial fit to see where the wheel well repairs and sills need to be made up to.

Not sure yet Dunc. Im not going rotisserie, more get it in one piece and drive it.
Lots to decide on, but Jack likes the idea of a Sam Posey tribute. I have 70 wings and front end, just need the T/A scoop and boot spoiler (sold one 5 years ago
)
Race car look can be a bit rougher round the edges and get away with it.

And I reckon Blue could knock up a front spoiler like that, having seen his panelling talents in aluminium

It's good to see you've finally made at start, I bet really you was just waiting for Jack to get to an age when he can help you.

It would be nice to see a Posey tribute car. I fancied building one myself.

Just thinking, it must be nearly 19 years since I last saw you out in that car Matt. The first Mopar Nats wasn't it?

Yes, it was 1994 Nats when the car was last out.

Good plan get it running and have fun with it
I have a car on rotisserie and once you go that route the car is down for a while
looks like you have a good starting point
