Congrats Col & Kris.35 years already.How time flies when you're doing a "job" that you love (most of the time).

Things a bit quiet at the moment,or too warm in the shed to work? If you post pics & info on many of the cars you've worked on for the last 35 years,you'll be busy for the best part of a month.Looking forward to my '37 sedan's gearbox change and open driveline conversion in 1980 :wink:

Col, Congratulations on your first 35 years in your own business

I expect that Quality Work at a Fair Price results in Satisfied Customers

I understand you may have rodded a restored car, but have you restored a rod ?

Perhaps one of your early efforts may have come back for a rejuvenation ???

Let me tell you Boys & Girls..........Cols skills don't stop there.........this Kitchen was all hand made by Col, but I suspect Mother Kris was involved as well somewhere. 8) :wink:

I will never go bungee jumping. A rubber breaking may very well be the reason I was born,
it sure as hell isn’t going to be the reason that I die.
