Well with a little elbow grease and a whole lot of rubbing compound this is how it`s coming along :rockon:




I`m now working on the inside of the body, then a good cut with some polishing compound and it should look as good as new.

So Shaun, since you're not making any progress on the Manx I will start a little somethin' for ya. Me and Mikey (okay just Mike really) are doing Eddy's roll cage on his Manx starting on Monday night. I figured what we'd do is use Eddy's cage as a \"guinea pig\" and clone it on paper, that way when you're ready for the cage you can actually save youself a few bucks by cutting and prepping up all of the material yourself with the measurements I'll give to ya. How's that sound?  B)

And Ed's Manx may even be done for the show. Mike's going to have the cage done next Friday night at the lateset. I'm re-doing all of the brakes this weekend (going 4-wheel discs :rockon:) and me and Ed will be getting her running on Saturday hopefully. It's probably a long shot for the show but I'm going to try like hell to get her there. Keep yer eyes peeled for a bright yellow Manx cruisin town shortly. ;)
Maybe I'll swing by once she's on the road and take ya for a burn (NO not that burn  :P )

Yes Hans, that would be the car - minus the turbo motor.
Ed said he nearly killed himself in it with the turbo (hence the roll cage)

Still no motor in it yet but you may want to ask Gary about that ;)
