Hey Cliff!

I'm game if you are. Will require you to sign a form first, but that's just a formality, trust me.

I was very pleased to have had a phonecall from Lloyd McCarthy this morning. Was good to talk to him again. Have not seen or spoken to him since I saw him at the funeral of our Brigadier, Keith Outridge, AM. That was at least a couple of years ago now. Lloyd intends to have his FGT at the Canungra swap meet this year, which is in October. I have given Lloyd an open invitation to some on up here on any Sunday he likes. Last time / only time he has been here, I only had the CMP hulk now known as The Organ Donor. I hope he would approve of what I have done, thus far. Lloyd is an old school perfectionist, who had restored his vehicle to an exceptional level. Inspiring!

Lloyd did not have my contact details until he visited one of the local auto electritions in last couple of days, and was shown a business card I left with the guys, for them to call me once they have done the work I had given them. That work was to replace the two brushes attached to the fields of my starter motor with new ones I bought from Macs. The auto electrician is keen to do any wiring I feel is better done by an expert. That could be substantial.

I know the timing may not be great, but I can come pick you up some time if you would like to see the truck for yourself. Did you end up writing the additional details for the Maryborough Military Museum?
