Great Job Rusty.

[Sputzwagon]

That has to be one of the neatest undersides of any FB or EK around!! (except maybe Gaz's?)
Wish I could accomplish something so finished and neat after only two weeks!!
Great work Rusty and congrat's on getting the nod of the engineer too.
..watching with great interest...

Thanks John , how is your car coming along at the body works?

Sputz , thanks for that , hope I can get the topside to match now

Was a long two weeks , put a few hours into it , and I would be happy if I could paint and draw something as cool as you do in two years

Am happy about the engineering side too , one less thing to worry about .

Seam sealed all the joints last night in the floor and then on the weekend will start the bodywork .

Mate its looking good and you've got to the point of no return. Look foward to seeing the final product.
