After enjoying my 67 i decided to complicate my life with another project, this one will probably never see the road, but it gives me time to play in the garage with my Son.

The base is a solid if a little rough South African '66, it's been moved around garages in Scotland few a number of years. It's makes a nice base as it's not rare or got a lot of value, which means me son and I can play with out the worry of wrecking something valuable.

So after the buying it, the first port of call, was Donald at Drop the Hammer, who welded in a cromoly half cage, based on a coltsweld main hope. It's tied into the rear end and with the DTH solid mid mount should tighten things up back there.

After that it was time to transport it down to Newcastle, since then a Cab Deck lid has been bought, along with a set of Centrelines, and stripping stone chip out of the wings and under wings. It's going to take a long whilst to complete, and that's just fine Smiley

Cage going in:







Ready to head to Newcastle:







Car with it's new friend:



A cool sticker:



A bit of mocking up of bits off the shelf:

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body , but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "Holy shit ... what a ride"

Oh I wouldn't get your hopes up, it's going to be nothing to the scale of the 67.

No mate, with a budget of zero pounds and working on it on a Saturday afternoon/evening
It'll not be done for a while.
