All perfectly clear now. Immigrants !

Ah... I say old chap, I think that what Mr Neil B is attempting to articulate in his quaint Northern manner, is that a certain Mr P Tommasini is in fact a 'splendid chap' and would in fact, 'do anything for you'.

Hi Neilb ive got a 63 1/2 ford galaxie fast back that ive been working on. It was originally a 390 mx auto and 9 inch .Now it has a jag front end 260 boss ,automatic and an xr8 irs fitted to it . I've cut the dash up and converted it to right hand drive. I used the jag front so I can have power steering its a long term project .I've been working at home putting in a new pool and new decking around it .so that has taken up a lot of my car time.

sounds good Paul, do you have a build thread anywhere? everybody on here loves cars and to see them progressing.

here's a pic from above and then from below.

i have finally got a few hours buck time in this week (thanks again jeffry) its coming on pretty good i think considering, the buck is upstairs on the mezzanine and the wheel is downstairs. so every panel is shaped downstairs checked upstairs then down stairs again etc etc, needless to say its a pain in the rectum! but you've just got to love the shape of these cars lol

[Mike Motage]

Looking real nice!

[kiwi john]

Thanks for making those panels for me Neil

If you can get them done by tomorrow I will swing by and pick them up

Any tips on how you went about making the reverse ?

Well done young fella !

Cheers John

Cheers Charlie

Mike, thank you!

John, errr yes that sounds good.... lol. advice from peter was very helpful, his words were if you can make that, you can make anything! its not as hard as you think but i seem to over shape it, then have to work to flatten it out lol, but you live and learn!

Charlie, thank you for the kind words! it is a big job but i, like others strive to become better and try to get closer to the quality of work produced by the majority of shapers on this site.
