    Neil’s T is a sweet ride. The Leaf looks like a great ride. You build like we do, using what is handy in all kinds of weather. I built two rats outdoors with a single bay garage as shop space. A guy doesn’t need a frame table either, level concrete and a framing square is all. Cheers brother

    When you going to chop the model t ? You two are sat up there like peas on a drum 😁 go on down the body and lower the seating position, and stick a standard pedal box in before Neil kills someone ! Only messing 😜 ps under ware probably a good idea ! But. I would request you go to British flat caps, instead of America style baseball caps, would be more in keeping, the old waxed flat cap look 😁👍 I know do one 😝
