Just got back from a visit to see how the rebuild is progressing. I canot begin to express in words my admiration for the work being done by Bill and the team. I saw K7 before Bill started to take it apart and cannot believe how its starting to be transformed. Badly damaged and corroded frames/panels repaired to a standard one has to see to believe. My wife was with me and on the way back home she said the joins where new metal had been attached could hardly be seen, I had not realised she had taken that much notice. Its quite clear that K7 is in very good hands and those who doubted this rebuild was possible are going to be made to look like muppets.
Excellent work Bill and thanks for giving up some of your valuable time.
BTW I am very pleased with the bag of goodies I bought.
Visit to Bills workshop.

Great to catch up today, Ernie (and your good lady wife). Always a pleasure - you know that.

Its a 35 minute run down to my place from Bills if you wanted to cast an eye over the GT K7 model and the other famous boats. My good lady does a decent cup of tea.
