    Hey Tom, don't be hard on yourself, the way to learn stuff is by getting in and having a go, from this side of the camera you are doing a great job

    I like the way you tried various techniques to get it right and the end result was well worth it. You did a really good job and you should be proud

    Excellent video mate,
    I love the honesty, by showing the trail fittments. The end result was really impressive.
    I didn’t realise the gt flutes had rounded edges, shows how much attention I’ve paid to them before. Looking forward to your next mod/tricks

    Hey Tom, you have a handle on everything you do, 👍 that oil can door problem, I can see the body line through the door directly above the problem needs massaging down the line is sitting up, when you do that, while holding the panel from falling in will tighten up that panel and stop the oil can. 😎 I’m a bit over 3 weeks in on fixing my hernia, was the best move ever 😎💪

    I think it came up pretty good. I always liked these vents(I'm a holden guy) and have thought about putting them in my HD Ute for a while, but I never realised they were recessed into the bonnet 😂 So this has put me off a bit... or has it inspired me, we will see.
    On a side note, I like the channel and the variety of changing up between the cars you have to work on.

      Not sure. Could sell it, but not sure I would get back what I put into it in parts etc, sitting until I get the spray booth organised at least, and cant do that until we finalise the new Lease on this building over the next few weeks
