You fit right up with the talented for sure. BUT, if you think you are unhappy with it ----- WELL, I'd gladly take it off your hands! WELL DONE young man! perley
Thanks, no not that unhappy............ I know I have a certain amount of skills. I guess you look at the magazines, and the likes of Roadster32's builds and it tends to make you feel as though you fall short. I'm sure most of us have an idea and feel the frustration of not being able to bring that idea to life. Either because of skill, or proper equipment. That's a lot of my frustration. And now it eyesight, hand coordination, and memory. I purposely do not show the areas that I messed up on. But I'll give you an idea. Those chrome vents I put on the cowl, well I looked at them for a day or so, then it occurred to me that I f'd up. Despite making a pattern and measuring and eyeballing, I forgot to look at drivers side. The steering sector exits the cowl right in the middle of the lower vent. So F Me......... I can't believe as much as I thought about this I forgot to look at the side I can't see most of the time in the shop.

By the way, what is happening with the Essex? I just realized it's been close to a year since an update, or am I missing something?
