My daughter had a Fiat 127 that failed its MOT cos the floor was only connected to the rest of the car by rust - she was most upset when even the scrapyard didn't want it!

Which other Monkey? I guess that's the best way of attaching mounting studs isn't it. Can the eyes & mouth be bored to about half the depth of the plate, just to give it a bit of 3 dimensionalism -is that a proper word? I've drawn 3 of those heads in different sizes, 3,4 & 5 inches wide. I shall check with my artistic consultant, Mr Lunatic, tomorrow to see which looks best. Never drawn the MMMotors logo from the face forward prospective before, so not sure it's recognisable as the logo, but as long as it looks like a monkey, it'll do the job. Mr L, I've been collecting together small weddling jobs for you to do -I've left a list on the bonnet! He's only playing for sympathy you know.  The larger size. |

Your profile pic monkey.. I can scale to anysize you want! Want me to fire over a 1:1 scale you can print them to see which looks the right size.. I'm quite nifty at lettering too if you need some letters "mankys pop" for example in 3mm.. |

An afternoon of ticking off small jobs yesterday. Loony was back at the 'shop, so he began working through my pile of small welding jobs, adding mounting tabs here & fill-in patches there. As each piece was done I cleaned it up with a softpad on the angle grinder. Nothing worth photographing, but it all needed doing.
I won't be there for the next few days as I've got things to do at home, but have left Loony with the shortened list -mounting flanges for the gearbox tunnel, tabs for the next dashboard panel & some stainless welding on the exhausts.
We had a look at the bonnet badge idea. Wasn't sure he'd like it but it got the Loony seal of approval. I wanted it big enough to show all the detail & to fill the blank space on the grille shell, while he preferred the smaller size as it was more subtle. I've had a word with Steve Brock about lazer cutting one of each so we can compare.

Plastic?!! Thanks, but no thanks Steve. Steel's real but plastic's fantastic, not in keeping with the overall ethos of the vehicle.
