When it cures, I'll give it a little polish up and the Last Blast is (nearly) as good as new. Well, good enough for the Bush Mechanic. Rolleyes

Looks good. I couldn't tell the difference. How are you finding the Dart?

I haven't yet. I am still one armed but going crazy enough to give it a try soon. If I hang over the tank I should be able to avoid straightening my left arm. Clutch operation not a problem. To keep the missus happy will leave it for another week.

Just watching our evening news. For those of you living in Tornado land, I sincerely hope that you, your families and friends are all OK.

Nice work Ptero... in the future might I suggest you keep the rubber side down and the shiny bits up eh?

Take your time my brother. Just 'cause we're young and handsome it doesn't mean we have to be young and reckless too. She'll be there when you're ready.

Very nice restoration work there, BTW. I almost envy you having the fun project to work on. Almost...

Cracking a smile here! Very nice work that Ptero. Can't tell it was ever damaged by the pics.
