This meeting was held at Centenary Park Mareeba and was followed by lunch at the Leagues Club then shed runs to Kevin and Sue Mcgregors and Michael Burnetts. It is always interesting to visit Kevins workshop to see what he is working on. Michael is known to many members as he did the fabrication and body work on Dippys Essex and is now working on another club members Ford Pickup. He has recently completed a replica Alfa which was on display. Michael explained that the build took him 2318 hours and is completely aluminium with the exception of the firewall and cockpit floor. the body has been completely hand formed without the use of a buck.
