In all honesty I'd be cutting it fine to have mine on the road for next year, so talking of a 40th being celebrated in 2016 is good for me. Even if I get it painted towards the end of summer as is my hope, to get it ready for a 250-odd mile round trip in May (assuming it would be May, like the HPF one) is wishful thinking. And I'm not getting much welding done while it's so hot, so slipping quite badly at the moment.
