Tom Fremont Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) Time lapse video! How many hours? 100? My concourse '250 was made over by one of the world's best ( RIP ). One of his apprentices is meeting the same standard; hourly rate is very reasonable but it's the total hours which boggle the mind. I gave him a rust/accident free rear quarter panel to paint and he spent 50 hours on it, replacing metal where there were issues I didn't spot: Still, this talent is rare.

RogerH Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hi Graham, I would like to have been a blacksmith or a thatcher , Realised too late that there are other things out there. Sadly BA paid too much to allow me to drift away. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
