Spectacular!!! You had to do (and did) many of the sheet metal troubles that scare the pants off most of us. Well done.

Thank you gents.

When I arrived at Corowa I spied John Mackie sitting at his camp about 100 metres away.
By the time I stopped and got out he was at the back of my trailer. He is an old Ford man from way back and I doubt he has moved that fast in a long time.
He has been very interested in this vehicle for a long time so of course I had to get him to take me for a drive.

Hello Jack,

It is wonderful that the vehicle is back on the road and is in pristine condition. You have deserved the time to have a break and to take things easy.

The only thing is that we will now miss following the progress on this project and witnessing the outcomes of all your skilled work.

So what is the next project - when will it start - and where is the link to it?

Kind regards
Lionel

Thank you.
I have a Diamond T patiently waiting it’s turn but there are a couple of Morris Tilly owners who will be expecting their stalled project to be taken off the back burner and I have told them it will be ready for Corowa next year.

Hi Jack,
Glad to see you are looking positive! As organisers of the Corowa Swim-In we are already planning for next year
