Beautiful Gary!!

Thanks for those pics of the quater. With that over lap, did you run another cut after then re weld so it lined up perfect?

Thanks,
John.

Thanks Guys, yeah Im so happy with how its coming up!

John - Much debate at the time about which way we should do the quaters, ended up over lapping on the inside of the boot and not cutting flush. Some people say moisture can get trapped in between the layers but we cut them pretty close - either way it came up looking good suppose the test of time will tell me if the right decision was made.

Teffa - Yeah mate the last pic is really the first pic with the stencil on and all the lines sorted for where the black goes.

Black is now done around windows, going there today to help painter do a few other bits and pieces. I will grab some more pics today.............
