Default Raining "cats and dogs", so I decided....


Raining "cats and dogs" so I picked up a scalpel and made a transfer...


When the rain gives up I'll be back to cutting grass.


If it continues, which looks likely, I will carry on with the project....

Ford script turned out well with the "used look". Cracked on and made a 1/4 UNC brass thumb screw together with a leather retaining strap.


Project on its way to completion

Not a Ford accessory....found and old tyre pump in junk shop and of course as it's still raining I fettled it back to life. Looks pretty good so it will stay with the cabriolet.
