Very nice cars, what is the green one, suicide doors, the grill looks a little like a Morgan? I really like it :happy: :happy:

Enjoy your time off.

I'm not sure, I didn't take a really good look, lot of ground to cover. If I see it again I'll check it out, this weekends show is much smaller, a couple hundred cars in Port Alberni, you would have gone through there on the way to Tofino. I would guess it's English or Italian, has an Anglia/Fiat kind of look to it.

I'm looking forward to it, hope to have the excavator in by the end of it.

I have another 20 or so trees to knock down, they're pretty small so it's not bad, 5 - 10" diameter. Once that's done he'll push everything around, we have a lot of large rocks up to 3' round that need to be moved if they pop up. Then bring in 100 yds or so of pit run, level it all off and a couple truck loads of screenings on top. He also pack down the whole thing so it's ready for concrete.

That looks great Dennis!!!!!! I used to use that Dupont metal conditioner way back, I didn't think you could get it anymore, it's great stuff.

Went to the little Canada Day show in Port yesterday, I have a bunch of pics I'll put up later but for now I'll just put this one up to stay with the theme. :goodjob:

I didnt know how good that stuff was? the 5718 contains Nickle in it, I took a DA with 80 grit to that Epoxy on the quarters I sprayed over the Filler to protect the filler while treating the metal and sanded out some imperfections and figured it would flash rust wear I hit the metal and went ahead and washed the hole car..... No flash rust wear I sanded it and feather'd into the metal that stuff penetrates deep into the metal.

This is after full treatment before sanding

After sanding AND washing with soap and water NO RUST where I sanded the metal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
