Hi Rick,
Got up earlier than usual...I guess I was nudged to see what you've done...nice!
The lapshot looks authentic too. 
I wouldn't suggest a drop of blood or two, following Simon's footsteps can be precarious
...so keep the blade at a safe distance from the other fingers.
Threading my way past Steve and John...I see matron standing by with an extinguisher. Lee is in the demilitarized zone. I'll sit at the far end.
Cheers,
Richard

Great to see you Richard.....Welcome to the Mad House! No blood to report as yet, but give me time.......does a smashed index finger count? A glancing blow with the hammer as I was punching the cover for the tank fill hatch has raised up a nice purple black bruise under the finger nail.........blue air in the man cave!
Stay away from Steve and JR.......those two are out of control Lee is doing well as he has plenty of Yorkshire tea to keep him happy.
Here is the last update of the day, fabricated and installed the rear fenders.
Cheers,
Rick H.

Rick. Very nice update. The fenders look great before you know it you will adding Race paint I mean green paint. The tea is keeping me calm. Steve usually brings biscuits this time I see it’s a Fire Extinguisher this time I wonder why.

That's looking very nice indeed
Hi Chris, I have thought about "Julie" and that "Cwazy Wabbit" often....I followed That build when Mr.T started it.....Tried to find the thread the other day but no luck. Thought it was in Sci Fi or Figures. If I remember correctly he almost "Binned" it a couple of times
because wabbit kept shedding his ears...other appendages as well dropped off from time to time but he never gave up on it.
Thanks for the compliment and for dropping by. Rick H.

Sorry for the late update........a little something to wake up to for you folks across the "Pond". 
I got the sun visor fitted to the cab (PITA) located, fabbed and installed the grab bars on the tank. made a dome from wine bottle foil (pewter) and fixed it to the fill cap. Got a valve and modified it to turn left so the fuel hose can be stowed on the proper side. and located and installed the rear tow hooks. I think I'm about half way there. More tomorrow. Rick H.
