Tomorrow Never Comes...
Due to Fence Panel "Mission Creep" I did not get to play with the car today.

It has taken most of the day for my wife and I to finish off the fence panels and trellis.

I had to do some pruning to get better access to the panels and ended up on a pruning frenzy.



Now that we have replaced the entire line of fence panels, we can put off straightening the fence posts themselves for a while.
( Ideally two years or more! )

This is the view from my neighbour's side and you can see the line is a bit wonky to say the least.



This problem stems from the previous owners of our house planting trees close to the fence line & the roots lifting them.

Anyway, after roping in our daughters to help tidy up the garden was restored.



Thankfully I do have one car build related photo...

I drilled & ground smooth the rivet holes in the base of the brackets to fix them to the body shell.

Then I gave the outside edges a coat of etch primer.



I also had to "touch up" the primer on the inside after I ground down the rivet holes on both sides.

Whilst it is still light outside, I am just too tired to attempt to fix these to the body shell tonight.

After re-reading how Mac fitted his humps, it is clear I need to be thinking straight to avoid any mistakes.

So I'd rather wait and start this job with a clear head in the morning.

Cheers, Paul.
