It still needs a huge amount of work to finish, but at least it&#8217;s back to being hood shaped. I&#8217;ll get it blasted along with the rest of the metalwork and see what they say once they have it clean. Can&#8217;t wait to start on this now, should be a really good project. Just need a load more space, and about ten times as much time. Can&#8217;t see either happening tho!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/files\/Almost-Hood-Like.jpg\" alt=\"Almost Hood Like\" width=\"443\" height=\"319\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The truck&#8217;s been sat outside the house under a tarpaulin since the start of August, and it&#8217;s booked in to get media blasted and painted with sealer next week to try and protect it a bit.
