Well, what can i say ???

I have sat here nearly all day reading this thread from start to finish. Tim, what an awesome effort, I'm speechless. Your attention to detail is second to none, your metalwork skills are truly first class. This car is a mobile work of art. I have seen some beautiful Toranas over the years, but as far as thought, and execution, as well as functionality, i struggle think of one better. It's a credit to you, and i congratulate you on such a wonderful build, and an awesome and detailed thread. Simon, i also congratulate you, for putting so much faith and support to your brother in creating this car, and also for the way you continue to keep it well maintained and looking like it has just been finished. A credit to you both.

I'd ask the admin/moderators, to please make this thread sticky, as there is so much information that could be used in so many builds, and in so many ways, it would be helpful to have it handy for people to fall back on as a reference.

Thanks Bumpy (Rob). Glad you liked it.

It also made the poster.

It was a nice surprise to see that : )

Looks great in the mag, well done. Any reason they didn't mention you guys are brothers in the story? They nailed the pic of the engine bay, looks great.

Mmm, quality journalism! Pity, because the story could have been even cooler. Pics are great though, the quality of the car comes through. I had to show a mate this thread as he wouldn't believe it was a UC. He's a believer now. :-)

They did the same thing when they did a feature on my car. They take the information you provide on the spec sheet and basically do the "interview" and story from that. I guess it would be nice to know that in advance, but anyhow. I enjoyed the article on Simon's car and found it interesting having closely followed the build on here. Congrats mate, to both of you.
