I would like to nominate markb's Sandcast restore which was in the project thread the last few months. I think the stockers return this month. Mark if you accept you may want to post your better and larger pics.

Johnie & Andy,
Thank you for the nomination.  It is extremely flattering.  I humbly accept as well.  From a stocker point of view, Terry's going to tough to beat.  Here's a couple more pics for now.  I'll get some up in a day or two.  If you'd like to check out my build thread you can click on the link in my signature.  Unfortunately I didn't start it right away but is does include most of the reassembly.
Thanks again guys,
Mark

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your kind words, I'll have to pull my finger outta my butt and finish the bike, it's still got a couple of rough edges, so I feel honored to be considered in the company of Mark and Traveller's beautiful bikes! Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Yes! I accept.  From the first page of my build thread I never would have guessed I'd have any support, let alone BOTM nominations. To be considered alongside Traveler, markb and Terry in Australia is an honor in itself.  Thank you.

Funny to hear you say that.....I felt the same about being lumped in with you guys.....kind of like showing up to a party in a t-shirt, khaki shorts and sandals carrying a beer...only to find out it is a black tie event. :o
