I like the Ward Special it is parked next to in the feature. Any more details of it.

Wow!
I was looking at the pictures of Peters conversion and thought, what a nicely done, tidy and well thought out job. It's a bit of a shame that such a prime example was modified, but great work. And then I came to the before pictures. I was stunned to say the least! For Peter to see the potential in that pile of scrap and the pull it off was phenominal. Beautiful car, terrific craftsmanship and tons of respect from me. Well done Peter! Cheers Fred |

You would have to know what you were doing to bring that car back to life. Congratulations to both men. I'm sure the car is very happy. Great work and looks super.

Sorry I missed Bob on my first post.
Must have been a little too caught up in the pictures. Cudos to you as well Bob. Cheers Fred |
