I apologise for the deliberate grammatical error but it was necessary for the title to scan. I was just going to add this to the thread on my Fury but there's someone here needs props and shoutouts so I thought I'd post it up here. As y'all may recall, my ol' Mope is creased down one side Com ca And I have had some attempts myself at straightening it Which had been met with little if any actual success on the ground of the panel being made of a form of armour plate steel which doesn't lend itself to bumping by mortal man. And the panel is a complex convolution of profiles to boot. A demigod of retro would be needed to sort this funkery out. Luckily I know such a man. Although "man" is hardly a sufficient word See, he wields a mighty tool There is also a "stud" gag in there somewhere by this late in the day it was becoming a grind still a few highs and lows but a long reach spoon of some sort is needed to finish this I'm well impressed with the work though. I jest (hey, I always jest) but I have to appreciate a guy who comes and works solidly on someone else's car from 11:30am to 6:15pm almost without stopping.

Awesome - great to see (a) that Street's still about and (b) some RR spirit in action.
This sort of stuff makes me smile. ;D

A very nice day spent playing with old cars! I think poor ol' brother Street is worn out, he's stopped drinking early and gone to bed. Thanks for the Caribbean lamb and coffee! And your help in peeling bits of Bond away.

It looks like a good day out by all and sundry! What a difference to the side of the Fury! The man is a legend for working like that! Bit of a mojo boost? Will we see her on the road this side of Christmas?
