Five guys with hammers...now there's a potential for trouble if ever there was one. The third outing of the FABAC Traveling Road Show and Pit Crew (FABACTRS&PC) was completely successful despite a complete lack enthusiasm or direction. We clearly had our mind's everywhere than on the task at hand. Joe had only wanted some extra hands to help put the bonnet on his E-Type. We had only wanted an excuse to get out of the house for an afternoon. This was a match made in car enthusiast heaven and we assembled to drink beer, eat pizza, and discuss tentacles (huh?). Somewhere in there nuts where reamed, shims where shoved, and the large, heavy and unwieldy bonnet was delicately manoeuvred into place on the locating pegs on Joe's car. While a wide selection of hammers had been brought along, they stayed safely out of harms way on the workbench. A bit of shimmying-n-shaking brought the bonnet into final alignment much to Joe's relief.
Joe thanks all who attended today's session and has indicated that we will once again be required for some serious electrical troubleshooting once he gets a new ignition switch.

My comments don't seem to be getting through. I sent this earlier.
I just wanted to thank the four guys who showed up on Saturday to help with the Jag, we installed the bonnet as Bob indicated, had some interesting conversations, beer and pizza. Thanks again, I can't think of many more enjoyable ways to spend a Saturday in November.

Hi Guys, Good friends,Jag E- type,pizza and beer, it just can't get any better.Glad the restoration is going well, just wish I was nearer to join in the fun, can't wait to get our own car out in the spring as we didn't get a chance to drive it as the weather did not co-operate. Your car is looking great Joe, You are a man of many skills. Robbie and Nettie up in the frozen North.
