Default A Red letter day

Yesterday with the help of Andrew Laiton (standing to the left in the rear view) the FGT was finally reunited with a rear body. There's still some adjustment to make before any welding can take place as it appears to have sprung a few mm when one of the cross members had to be removed but should line up fine in the end.
Paint is Khaki J from Flowrite paints, huge thanks to Gina for ensuring the best possible colour match.

Default The Fat

Hi Keith,
Great to see, looking a bit more complete and a big step taken.
Best of luck with the rest and please post some pics of the re-skinning.
The GT is such a brute of a truck to look at
Wayne.

Default The video

Here's a link to a short video of the rear body going on, wish we had some more headroom in the shed! I was helped by Andrew Laiton, and even Belinda lent a hand... wonders will never cease... er... I mean that was sweet of her
