NO, thoroughly enjoying the challenge.
All i'm am saying is on reflection is it seems easy.
You sit there, work things out in your mind, prehaps make a few notes, possibly a few sketches. Then you go and put it into pratice, some new challange will come along and throw a spanner in the works.
I have'nt had time to update Project FUDDY MUCKER "II" for a few weeks, but I've managed to get all weekend working on the truck and progress is now at a stage I'm happy with.
Hopefully by the end of this month the metal work required at the rear can be done.
