Hi, looks good, what year is it?

[troutrunner]

She is a 1964, I've had her about 5 years, dry store and thought it about time to get started. I did strip most of her out last year but got a little disilusioned at the prospect of all that upside down welding. So the brain wave came in talking to others, I need a spit to rotate her on and built this one, just finished and got her mounted on tuesday.

Heres a photy before the strip down and another of my daily driver. The picnic was on the way home from the National A30/A35 Rally.

No,I thought you were getting ready to BBQ a hornet,not there's much meat on a hornet.It's like when I go fly fishing,I never catch enough for a meal.
