2 years is flying mate. Nice work with the resto. 

 

The car looks great, and it looks like it was all done in-house which is certainly my favourite thing to see.

Cheers Heath,
Yea mate I have done all the work to this car myself .
I prefer it that way as I have out sourced bits and pieces before and not been to happy with the results , as they say if you want something done properly do it yourself
2 years seemed like forever to me as I have done quite a few and I used to go hammering tanks and knock them out in around 6 months , this one slowed me up a bit as for the first 12 months I only got 6 days a month off now I do 8 on 6 off so that has helped put a bit more of a push on it and still have the weekend to spend with the kids
Thanks for checking it out
Cheers
Shane
