Looking good some really nice quality work there .Can I ask what you are doing with the corsair and did it come from the glamis area ?
Dave

Cheers Dave! The Corsair came from Dundee but yes, it was previously from near Glamis. It's down to a shell minus the rear axle internals, all of which are going into the atlas in the Viva. It has 2 new wings, but needs a lot of work. Ford panels go for funny money, so that's why I'm doing the Viva!

Cheers,

Leigh.

That's a fine pair of motors! Yep, I've seen your Zody at the Pre 67 show... I absolutely loved it! I had a High line Consul in the late 80s... couldn't give it away at the time, so it went for scrap

Good Lord! Has it really been a month since I last posted? I swear that time is passing faster as I get older! Anyway, I have made some progress. Got a hold of a 4dr l/h sill & re-fabricated it as a r/h 2dr unit! Valerie is 99% stripped & mounted to my new toy... a rotating jig. My wife says it looks like a chicken rotisserie device! We're off to Alabama to see her family on Saturday morning, so I thought I'd better get it stripped & the pics posted before we leave... just found out it's colder there than it is here

Regards,

Leigh.
