Had it for a while Paul :-)
Just need to clear some space out in the garage for a start, I have been
reading and researching this for a while now and have even put a dent in
the list of tools required (though we all know that Murphy was an
optimist ) The biggest hurdle I have is the sub 0 temps we get here in
winter so laying down the skins and curing is only a summer prospect here
:-).


One could always consider the possibility of alloy and rivets.
Works for me.
