Our club treasurer is flat out getting his FB back together so he can bring it to the Nationals, I gave him a hand yesterday to get a few bits back in it- bloody windscreens are a nightmare, can't get them to sit in properly, might have to get some new rubbers from Betta Rubber, these Rare Spares ones aren't even close......

Still a few long nights there, the trim will chew up some time.
I did this sort of stuff years ago, Summernats 3 days away, finished the at the time ute and was giving it a test run when the trusty grey become not so trusty ! 2 days to go borrowed a mates red motor, welded in some engine mounts and away we went again, this time overheating ! 1 day to go new radiator and support panel and that problem was fixed. So we made it but in all the hurry I forgot the gearbox support bush in the crank so after 4 days terrorising Canberra the trusty 3 speed got really loud and eventually died !
Nice colour as well I agree, good luck hope you can make it.

Screens are meant to be going in wednesday and Nigel is busy polishing stainless so we can get that on before the rest of the guts in the doors goes in
