You did mate, and it sparked a lot of interest, and a few joking questions about where the corvette is.....

I never thought this would happen but I now have an 84 Corvette to turn into the Faces 'vette...

The guys with the van have entrusted me again with their latest purchase.

Hell yeah, its happenin', its like being a kid again - just like when I did the van, I get to watch hours and hours of A-team all over again!!

Its a bit rough around the edges...

...and the bumper doesnt match...

...but its all there

roughly bagged up for some primer

Should have it wrapped up in a couple of weeks now.
Im going to try and pursude the guys to come over in the van when they pick this up finished, they should look great together.

i used to love faces corvette, when i was a kid i used to love drawing it. i actually prefeered it to the van.

"shut your jibba jabba fooool" one of my favourite lines from the A-team.

Superb mate, here's a pic for inspiration

Anyone see Dirk Benedict when he was on Big Brother ? Not what I imagined. Think of face from the A-team, take away all the personality, humour etc and you are left with Dirk !!! Real downer when growing up with the A-Team and having opinions about what he would be like and then seeing what he was like in real life.

Unfortunately mate, thats what happens when your heros grow old. I dont think putting him in a loony bin full of british "celebritys" was really fair anyway.

You may however be interested to know that Dirk benedict has been in contact and I think he's coming over to see the Vette next time he's in the uk. He already saw the van and was very impressed, along with Dwight Shultz (Murdoch).

Now getting a pic of Dirk and Dwight with the van and covette would be awesome.

Glad to see im not the only one that grew up on the A-team. Dan da dan da! Ha ha :-D
