Nick Moore Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 I'm looking forward to seeing it at Prescott as well - Mallard's my current favourite 1972 colour, but the colour sample I have looks different in different lights, so I want to see it on a car before making my mind up. What cam are you running? TR5 would go well with that compression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotoflex Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 I like the way this one's gone. I predict strong, sturdy, satisfying, and very livable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going to wait until next year. Hope to see you at prescott :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
