Great news Steve. Been waiting to see this one start. And no, I haven't had time to touch mine before you ask!!! The "other" one is in for a pink slip next week. Should be all good hopefully....
Cheers, Roo

Looks really good. I am doing the same at the moment. My one is a 58 (the old Granny from MEL). Tomorrow I will start to strip the paint. I am looking as well for a good painter. I am in Byron Bay.
