That's purdy Pete. In those flat colours it looks quite cartoonish.
So what's your plans for the ol' girl then? And for the car.

hi mankey,what does purdy mean lol,??,going to keep the old girl as she is for the time being ,needs some repair work to floor but nothing too serious,it is motd but runs like a dog at the moment,trying to find more info on flatheads but i have found a manual on ebay which covers lubrications/maintainence etc,the discs are off as i like the old steel wheels,not going to chop it ,i believe there are only 9 otheres in the uk at this time so it is rareish i suppose ,i have a friend here in slough who is a car trimmer so he will do the bench seat,it will be out as a ratrod next yr at beaconsfield ,maybe wheelsday ,colour will almost certainly be matt of some description,these cars were used by doctors etc and on long journeys they used to fold down the front seat and stretch their legs into the boot area as there is no back seat,,,smells like a few people have slept in it!!!!!!!!!!

If you've got the details of the Beaconsfield show, post 'em on the forum please. You can link them to the calendar too. Loony's a welding whore -he'll weld anything with wheels.  :P
