Haven't been doing much car stuff in the last week, had a walk around in the sheds on the John's Rod and Custom property but alas didn't have my camera on me. They've got Model A bodies coming out of their asses, not to mention all the other goodies, those guys are sitting on a gold mine! I'll make sure I get some photos next time I'm up there.
