She's here - 1952 Flying Cloud!
I came home late last night after having dinner with some co-workers and when i arrived i looked at our drive way and there she was! Silver, large, pretty our 1952 Flying Cloud !
Shame it was already dark outside so we couldn't realy see, so this morning we have been circling around it with the whole family She looks great on the outside! The inside does need a whole lot of work but we knew and are prepared. I will make more pictures as soon as hubby stabilizes her. Just wanted to let you know that there are 3 dutchies on flying cloud 9

How wonderful! Please post a thread of your restoration process. Especially include the unique challenges restoring in the Nederlands.

Very nice. You have come along way since we first discussed this. From the look of your progress....go to London again...for a couple weeks this time. Your husband may have much more work completed.

The welding is done, my husband did most of it himself (the welder teached him how to). And at the moment he is cleaning the frame with POR-15 stuff.
The weather is awfull right now, dark and rainy, which doesn't make it easier. But he locked himself up with extra lights and a heater and is cleaning the frame
Pictures will follow shortly.

Ya'll are doing a beautiful job bringing your FC back to life. You will both be so proud of it when all the work is finished and you can use it to make those memories your daughter will never forget.
The only thing I know that takes POR-15 off your skin is . . . . . . time.
Please keep updating us on your progress, including lots & lots of photos of course.

Due to failing hardware (human failure, hardware failing ) i had to rearrange my pictures. So a lot of them will turn up with an photobucket error
Is there a way to edit the old posts? If i can edit the link the pictures will show again.....
