Truly epic. This will be one of the best Swallowtails in the world once completed - and that's no exaggeration.
Incredible work mate.

Bonnet Latch:
Bonnet Stay
Front wiper assembly
Took ages cleaning the wires and replaced the bolts with new yellow galanvanised ones.
Strangle, haven't got a picture of the final assembly :dontknow: but you get the idea.
Rad Fan:
Striped, cleaned, painted with new bolts & washers
Headlights:
striped, cleaned, new bolts/washers
again i don't have the end picture…..i'll get the headlights out and take another pic.
Fuel Neck & Tank straps:
Original was in good shape, just started rotting in one corner, which i just cut off. I sent the fuel neck off for acid striping, galvanizing and then power zinc coating, followed by black satin power coat on top.
Tank Straps
Foam piece glued in place
NEXT ISSUE:
Tank, Axle, Wish Bones & Suspension … lol
