Beautiful car, and what a colour! :thumb:

Not really in to classic American cars, but this I one I would love to have.

Since seeing your car I have the theme tune to a puppet show stuck in my head. Thanks for that :)

Thanks for your comments :D

I took the car to a friends last week and we stripped the engine to change the camshaft and hydraulic lifters as there was a rattle I wasn't happy about. While it was stripped we decided to change all the service items and oil pump, assembly is underway the the engine will be given a fresh coat of Chevy Orange engine paint to complete the makeover.
