Ian Major Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Cor, you will be as drunk as a skunk with all that Isopropyl around. Those GUVs are looking good. Nice work. Looking forward to seeing them finished and of course in the flesh. Ian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
