Many thanks guys. Putting that rear bar together was the best fun so far.

I can see the finish line...somewhere between now and Christmas...fingers crossed.

Ditto from me Mick - This has been one hell of a good yarn and not over yet.

Stewart, are you sure you didn't have a rello somewhere that had another old Holden that you could search for, find and do a resto on (with a 327 in it just for balance :wink: )

Great stuff mate

This is just an awesome build, kinda mind blowing really.

If you could bottle passion for a build and sell it you would be a very rich man....

I've been wondering if once finished you will have to wind the clock back to zero??

Stewart I have just spent the last couple of hours re reading this thread.

It is a massive credit to you and all of those that have helped. Old Timer is looking fantastic and I'm sure the whole story has inspired many a forum member, including myself.

Thanks for taking the time to share your adventure :D .

This is an awesome post and truly inspiring. I am keen to get one of my own although with a lot less rust as I do not know any Louie's myself.

Looking forward to the updates.
