That van panel is crying out for some inventive sign writing.
Enjoy yourself, it's later than you think!

Looks brilliant. I wish I had a fraction of your talent Peter. Daisy is a lucky lass.

Couldn't agree more - brilliant indeed! And I finally remembered what it reminded me of  Big Grin

Yes indeed. Some flamboyant art deco graphics would be very much in keeping.

sorry i haven't been in touch in a while, as you can see Peter has been very busy on the body and brought it to us last week. he has done a very good job and i am very pleased with it, thank you peter.

we had a free day today so we decided we would work on the van.

the first job was to replace the back axle bracket because it was too tall, so we took the body off so we could fix it

   

then we put the felt on the chassis with rivets and hen painted it with wax oil

           

then we put the cow horns on the front and bolted some wing brackets onto it.

   

then we put the radiator on and it started to look a bit more like a car!

       

then we put Tony's seat covers on the frames and it looked amazing!  thank you tony

   
but sadly that is all we can do for a while as Dad is not free the next few months.

At this rate of progress it's going to be finished well before Daisy can drive
