The ones deano grabed are a large head mate, i guess i will try and see if i can get them then.

Paint cost will be around £100, im gonna get my mate over to look at it this week one night to let me know what we need to get done etc

[philoldsmobile]

ok, no problem.. if you dont have any luck with the rivets, i'll see what i can do..

Looking sweet  . . . Have we added the extra support to the lower sections as we discussed ?

Not yet mate, the sheet is 50mm to short at the moment so we figured we would checker a 100mm strip along the bottom to add rigidity aswell as some protection

[Roadkill]

I noticed down the side (furthest from camera in last pic) that it was out of square, top-to-bottom.

Are we gonna address this before sheeting?  Or was it just the angle I looked at it ?

P.S -

I'll be working ALL DAY Sunday (will be the last time, though)
I'd promised Samantha that we could see her Dad early this year . . . Basically this weekend will be the last oppotunity 'til well into April so Friday night/Saturday morning will be a no-no for me too . . . . . Then there's Chris' Duster to move this weekend, too . . . .



The plus side is I'm picking up the Ally sheet this Sunday . . . .

Might just be the angle mate

[Roadkill]

O.K, but give it a quick eye-ball before sheeting.

No worries mate, family comes first. We must get this sheeted this weekend though so we will need people to be there saturday and posibly sunday

[Roadkill]

Any time after this weekend I should be O.K again . . . gonna take some days off work to get back on track with the decorating as well . . . .

[55starchief]

I just want it finished as it is eating up poncho time. Next weekend it will be painted saturday thats why the push to get it sheeted this weekend is so important

I'll be there saturday afternoon, once Duster is shifted, and probably sunday.

[FUBAR]

I'm avaliable to help all this weekend AFAIK.

If anything changes i'll let you know.

[55starchief]

Have just ordered 300 rivets same size as we used saturday and 50 M8 s/steel socket bolts to fix the top down

[Roadkill]

I'll be picking up the plate on Sunday.

I can't say yet if I can get it cut or not though . .
