June 14th - Bodywork Tech Session with David Page and Andrew

Interest for this event was high and it showed with 16.5 cars from as far away as the Valley, Halifax, Truro, New Glasgow and Parrsboro appearing at David Page's garage in Densmores Mills near Maitland, the half car being Frank Boothroyd's Spitfire body which is under restoration. David is also in the midst of the total restoration of Jim and Nancy Cleveland's 1976 MGB which he used as the subject during his talk and explained what areas to look into when buying a used car, especially British. David was ably assisted by Andrew who has great knowledge in the preparation for painting and painting and different types of paint available.

A big "Thank you" to David and Andrew for putting this on as well as the M.D.D.A. for hosting the dinner and arranging the fused glass workshop for our spouses while we talked cars.
