Looks amazing mate. Loved watching all the vids you made throughout the build. Learned a few things from watching your work.

Heres a low resolution pic of Rusty at her photo shoot for the coffee table book Our Wheels Of The Hunter due out in September 2016.

Low resolution because the photographer owns the rights to the pics for the book.

Many more pics taken but this was the only one i got until I pay for the high resolution prints.

 

What do you's reckon

Nice to see you're getting out and enjoying the car! Still one of my favourite builds on here. Well done on the trophy you deserve the recognition for such a quality home build.

Just finished reading this thread. Unreal work and I'm glad blokes document you work so thoroughly so people like myself can learn along the way too. Your attention to detail reflects the killer finished product.
